Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of LCD projector, especially a closed light machine with 3D uniform temperature plate and LCD projector. BACKGROUND

[0002] The closed light machine can effectively prevent dust and pollutants from entering the light path, thereby significantly reducing the influence of dust on the panel, enabling the projection device to be more widely applicable to various use occasions, and also greatly prolonging the service life of the projection device.

[0003] However, the closed environment brings great difficulty to the heat dissipation of the optical elements inside the light machine. Among them, the LCD screen and the polarizer and other optical devices are the key heat dissipation components of the light machine, but due to their particularity, they can only be cooled by heat convection, so the current heat dissipation method of the closed light machine can only pass heat to the heat sink through the internal circulation flow field, then conduct to the outside through the heat sink, and finally take away the heat by the external flow field, so the heat transfer efficiency of the internal circulation heat sink is the key to the heat dissipation of the closed light machine.

[0004] The traditional internal circulation heat sink is formed by connecting the hot end fins and the cold end fins into a whole heat sink, and the heat exchange efficiency of such a heat sink is not high enough to meet the heat dissipation needs of high-power light machines. Phase change heat transfer is considered to be the most efficient heat exchange method, and the 3D uniform temperature plate developed on this basis is an advanced heat dissipation technology. It combines the planar heat conduction ability of the traditional two-dimensional uniform temperature plate and the linear heat conduction ability of the heat pipe, and can realize ultra-high efficient heat conduction and diffusion through the three-dimensional structure and the heat dissipation fins. However, the existing 3D uniform temperature plate mainly conducts and absorbs heat by directly contacting the heat dissipation fins on one side and develops heat through air on the other side, that is, only one side is embedded with a heat pipe, and the internal circulation heat sink of the closed light machine needs to complete heat absorption and dissipation through forced convection, so the existing 3D uniform temperature plate cannot fully exert its advantages.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment provides a sealed optical machine with 3D uniform temperature plate 41, which comprises:

[0031] Shell 1, optical device, inner circulating fan 3, heat dissipation module 4 and heat dissipation fan 5.

[0032] The shell 1 is internally formed with an internal circulation air duct 10, the optical device and the internal circulation fan 3 are arranged in the internal circulation air duct 10, the optical device comprises an LCD screen 23, the heat dissipation module 4 comprises a 3D heat uniform plate 41, a first heat dissipation fin 42 and a second heat dissipation fin 43, the 3D heat uniform plate 41 comprises a heat uniform plate body 411 and a first heat pipe 412 and a second heat pipe 413 connected to opposite sides of the heat uniform plate body 411, the inside of the first heat pipe 412 and the second heat pipe 413 communicates with the heat uniform plate body 411, the first heat dissipation fin 42 is sleeved on the first heat pipe 412 and located in the internal circulation air duct 10, and the second heat dissipation fin 43 is sleeved on the second heat pipe 413 and located outside the shell 1. The heat dissipation fan 5 is arranged outside the shell 1 and used for cooling the second heat dissipation fin 43.

[0033] It can be understood that the heat uniform plate body 411, the first heat pipe 412 and the second heat pipe 413 can be filled with a heat-conducting liquid, thereby playing a role of efficiently conducting heat, the first heat dissipation fin 42 is sleeved on a plurality of first heat pipes 412, and the second heat dissipation fin 43 is sleeved on a plurality of second heat pipes 413, so that the first heat dissipation fin 42 can conduct heat in the internal circulation air duct 10 to the second heat dissipation fin 43 through the first heat pipe 412, the heat uniform plate body 411 and the second heat pipe 413, and the heat dissipation fan 5 cools the second heat dissipation fin 43, so that the 3D heat uniform plate 41 as a whole is kept in a low-temperature state, and the first heat dissipation fin 42 is in a low-temperature state, thereby ensuring that heat in the internal circulation air duct 10 is taken away.

[0034] Because the heat generated by the LCD screen 23 is high, the temperature in the internal circulation air duct 10 is high, when the internal circulation fan is started, the air in the internal circulation air duct 10 can be circulated and flow, heat exchange is performed when the air flows through the first heat dissipation fin 42, so that the air is cooled to cold air, and the cold air cools the LCD screen 23 by flowing through the LCD screen 23, so that air cooling internal circulation is formed, and the heat generated by the LCD screen 23 can be quickly taken away. Because the first heat dissipation fin 42 is heated when heat exchange is performed, the heat is conducted to the second heat dissipation fin 43 outside the shell 1 through the connected 3D heat uniform plate 41, and the second heat dissipation fin 43 is cooled by the heat dissipation fan 5, so that the 3D heat uniform plate 41 and the first heat dissipation fin 42 are in a low-temperature state, thereby effectively realizing rapid heat dissipation of the LCD screen 23, effectively ensuring normal work of the LCD screen 23, and prolonging the service life of the LCD screen 23.

[0035] According to the technical scheme, the closed light engine has a newly designed 3D heat-dissipating plate 41. Compared with the prior art, the 3D heat-dissipating plate 41 is improved in structure and includes a heat-dissipating plate body 411 and first and second heat pipes 412 and 413 connected to two sides of the heat-dissipating plate body 411.

[0037] The shell 1 includes an upper shell 11, a middle shell 12 and a lower shell 13 arranged in a top-bottom manner. The upper shell 11 is a plate structure, and the middle and lower shells 12 and 13 are both pot structures with openings facing upwards.

In addition, a PWN speed regulation function can be added to the internal circulation fan 3, and a temperature sensor can be arranged in the first cavity 101 to intelligently regulate the speed of the internal circulation fan 3 at different temperatures, so as to maintain the heat-dissipating stability of the first cavity 101.

[0039] The optical device in the embodiment is arranged in the first cavity 101, and the optical device further comprises a first Fresnel lens 21, heat insulation glass 22, a second Fresnel lens 24 and a mirror 25, which are sequentially arranged in the direction from the first vent 103 to the second vent 104.

[0040] Preferably, the LCD screen 23 in the embodiment is arranged opposite to the first vent 103, so that the LCD screen 23 can be first contacted with cold air when air circulation starts, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0041] Specifically, the uniform temperature plate body 411 in the embodiment comprises an upper plate 4111 and a lower plate 4112, the upper plate 4111 and the lower plate 4112 are connected at edges to enclose a first cavity 401, inner surfaces of the upper plate 4111 and the lower plate 4112 are provided with first capillary structures, the upper plate 4111 and the lower plate 4112 are both provided with a plurality of mounting holes 402, the mounting holes 402 of the upper plate 4111 are arranged to mount the first heat pipe 412, the mounting holes 402 of the lower plate 4112 are arranged to mount the second heat pipe 413, the first heat pipe 412 and the second heat pipe 413 are both arranged to form a second cavity in communication with the first cavity 401, inner walls of the first heat pipe 412 and the second heat pipe 413 are both provided with second capillary structures, and the second capillary structures are connected to the first capillary structures. The 3D uniform temperature plate 41 designed in this way has high heat exchange efficiency, is conducive to heat dissipation, and the first capillary structures and the second capillary structures can make liquid flow more smoothly.
