Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of dustproof technology for projector lenses, and in particular to a dustproof structure for a projector lens. Background Technology
[0002] Projectors, as common display devices, are widely used in education, business, and entertainment. To ensure image quality, projector lenses need to be kept clean to avoid the effects of dust and other impurities. However, due to the complexity of the usage environment, projector lenses are prone to dust accumulation, which not only affects image clarity but may also damage the lens surface. Therefore, designing an effective dustproof structure is of great significance for improving the reliability and lifespan of projectors.
[0003] Currently, the industry typically employs various methods to prevent dust from entering projector lenses. One common method is to cover the lens with a transparent protective cover. This method is simple and easy to implement, but with frequent use, the cover is prone to falling off or shifting, resulting in poor dust protection. Another method is to use a rubber sealing ring around the lens, relying on the tight fit of the elastic material to block dust. However, this structure is prone to aging after long-term use, losing its sealing performance. In addition, some projectors use automatic cleaning devices that use motor-driven brushes or airflow to remove dust from the lens, but this increases the complexity and cost of the equipment.
[0004] While the existing dustproof measures mentioned above offer some protection, they also have significant shortcomings. For example, the transparent protective cover is prone to detachment, the rubber sealing ring is susceptible to aging, and automatic cleaning devices increase the complexity and cost of the equipment. These issues not only affect the user experience but also limit the projector's application range in various environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more reliable dustproof structure that can effectively prevent dust from entering the lens area without increasing the complexity of the equipment.
