Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of projector cutting technology, and in particular to a privacy cover system for projection lenses. Background Technology

[0002] A projector is a display device that magnifies and projects images onto a screen or wall using an optical lens, and is widely used in scenarios such as meetings, education, and home entertainment. However, in actual use, operational errors, system malfunctions, or malicious attacks (such as hacking) may cause abnormal projected content or leakage of sensitive information. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately cut off the projection to prevent further dissemination of information or adverse effects.

[0003] Currently, the common emergency cut-off projection methods mainly include the following two:

[0004] 1. Directly cutting off the power: While this method can quickly stop projection, frequent hard shutdowns can damage the projector's electronic components (such as the lamp and power module), affecting the device's lifespan. Furthermore, restarting the projector usually requires a long warm-up time, causing interruptions and impacting efficiency.

[0005] 2. Shutting down the projector via the operating system: Compared to directly cutting off the power, this method has less impact on the hardware. However, in cases of system lag, unresponsive programs, or network attacks, the shutdown command may not be executed in time. Furthermore, the operating system's shutdown process typically takes several seconds or even longer, potentially missing the optimal shutdown window and failing to meet the need for rapid response in emergencies. Utility Model Content

The upper connecting piece is provided with at least two upper connecting through holes corresponding to at least two upper connecting blind holes respectively, and also includes an upper locking screw, which passes through the upper connecting through hole and is threadedly connected to the upper connecting blind hole.

[0026] The lower balance slider has at least two lower connecting blind holes. The clearance section at the lower end extends downward and is connected to a lower connecting piece. The lower connecting piece has at least two lower connecting through holes corresponding to the at least two lower connecting blind holes.

Specifically:

[0034] 1. Rapid response mechanism: The torque and speed are converted through the lead screw drive component. The rotational force can be converted into axial thrust through the cooperation of the lead screw and the upper composite slider to drive the cover plate frame to move along the lead screw axis, realize the left and right sliding of the cover plate frame, and thus realize the physical opening and closing action of the lens obstruction.

[0035] 2. Stable Operation System: The cooperation between the upper balance bar and the upper composite slider, as well as the cooperation between the lower balance bar and the lower balance slider, effectively improves the stability of the cover plate frame's lateral sliding, thereby enhancing operational reliability. The cooperation between the upper positioning protrusion and the upper positioning through hole enables rapid positioning between the upper connecting piece and the upper composite slider, improving the stability of their connection. Similarly, the cooperation between the lower positioning protrusion and the lower positioning through hole enables rapid positioning between the lower connecting piece and the lower balance slider, further enhancing their connection stability. The cooperation between the upper insertion section and the two composite limiting protrusions effectively counteracts the vibration effects during the lead screw drive process, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the upper connecting piece and the upper composite slider. The weight reduction notch design optimizes the center of gravity distribution of the cover plate frame, further enhancing motion smoothness.

[0036] 3. Safety protection function: Both the upper and lower limit sleeves can limit the extreme positions of the cover plate frame to the left and right directions, so as to prevent excessive movement; the clearance section structure at both ends of the shielding section can be adapted to projector lenses of different sizes, ensuring complete shielding while avoiding lens damage.

The two relief sections 18 are detachably connected to the upper composite slider 7 and the lower balance slider 8, respectively.

[0066] When the projector lens is large and protrudes outward, the clearance section 18 provides sufficient clearance, thus ensuring that the lens is not damaged and that the movement of the cover plate bracket 6 is reliable.

[0067] To achieve a detachable connection between the cover plate frame 6 and the upper composite slider 7 and the lower balance slider 8, preferably, the upper composite slider 7 is provided with at least two upper connecting blind holes 21, the upper end of the clearance section 18 extends upward and is connected to an upper connecting piece 22, the upper connecting piece 22 is provided with at least two upper connecting through holes 25 respectively corresponding to at least two upper connecting blind holes 21, and also includes an upper locking screw 26, the upper locking screw 26 passes through the upper connecting through hole 25 and is threadedly connected to the upper connecting blind hole 21;
