Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, and more specifically, to a color vehicle headlight projection module. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive headlights are generally used for illumination, such as high beam and low beam. The wave of automotive intelligence and the continuous iteration of underlying light source technology are driving headlights to evolve from simple illumination to intelligent and emotional lighting. Headlights with tens of thousands of pixels that can achieve intelligent lighting, interactive projection, and more design possibilities are becoming a new trend.
[0003] Existing technology CN111684355A has an optical route of RGB light source → collimating lens → total reflection mirror → DMD chip → projection lens, which has low light efficiency, multiple heat sources and complex system. Existing technology CN107678233B has a heat dissipation system that relies on complex airflow channels and external split heat dissipation components, which increases the structural volume and cost.
[0004] Therefore, a color vehicle headlight projection module with a short optical path, high optical efficiency, and high heat dissipation efficiency is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a color vehicle headlight projection module. Through a compact optical path design, the color wheel 31 passes through the heat sink 2 and the PCBA board 1, and the optical path is simplified to "light source 11 → color wheel 31 → lens 5". It abandons the collimating lens 5 and DMD chip commonly used in the prior art, reduces the number of optical components, and improves optical efficiency. The heat sink 2 and the fan 7 work together to centrally cool the light source 11 and the color wheel motor 32. The heat source is concentrated in the strong convection area of the fan 7. The fan 7 can simultaneously dissipate heat for the color wheel motor 32 and the heat sink fins 21 of the heat sink 2.
[0006] A color vehicle headlight projection module includes a PCBA board 1, a heat sink 2, a color wheel assembly 3, a lens bracket assembly 4, and a lens 5.

The motor bracket 33 is connected to the heat sink 2 through the color wheel bracket 35. The lens bracket assembly 4 is located on the light-emitting side of the PCBA board 1. The lens 5 is located at one end of the lens bracket assembly 4.

This allows the light emitted by the light source 11 to enter the lens 5 after being filtered by the color wheel 31 to form a color projection. The optical path is short and the optical efficiency is high. The design of the color wheel 31 passing through the heat sink 2 and the PCBA board 1 makes the module space structure compact and the assembly simple. The back of the heat sink 2 is provided with heat dissipation fins 21 and a fan 7.

[0010] Furthermore, the back of the heat sink 2 is provided with heat dissipation fins 21, and a fan bracket 6 is externally connected to the back of the heat sink 2. A fan 7 is provided inside the lower part of the fan bracket 6. The mounting through hole 22 of the heat sink 2 corresponds to the position of the color wheel motor 32, so that the strong convection area of the fan 7 covers the heat dissipation surface of the light source 11 and the color wheel motor 32. The heat source is concentrated in the strong convection area of the fan 7. The fan 7 can dissipate heat for both the color wheel motor 32 and the heat dissipation fins 21 of the heat sink 2 at the same time, resulting in high system heat dissipation efficiency.
[0011] In some embodiments, the color wheel bracket 35 is integrated on the heat sink 2, and the color wheel 31 is directly mounted on the color wheel bracket 35 on the heat sink 2.
[0012] In some embodiments, the color wheel 31 is mounted in reverse on the lens support assembly 4.

[0014] Furthermore, both bracket 1 41 and bracket 2 42 are detachably connected to PCBA board 1 and heat sink 2.
[0015] Furthermore, the lens 5, color wheel 31, and light source 11 are also covered with a decorative frame 8, which serves as a protective cover to protect the lens 5, color wheel 31, and light source 11 and prevent foreign objects from entering when the color wheel 31 rotates at high speed.
[0016] Furthermore, the light source 11 is a surface light source with tens of thousands of pixels.
