DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0038] Surface Mount Device (SMD) lasers, due to their compact size, are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, medical devices, and other fields. The more advanced the field, the higher the precision requirements for the light source device, which primarily depends on the installation accuracy of the light-guiding components.

[0039] However, in the existing support assembly, the light guiding element is very easy to move during the installation process due to its small size, resulting in low installation accuracy of the light guiding element, which not only affects the convenience of supporting assembly installation, but also affects the light output accuracy of the light source device.

[0040] Based on the above technical problems, the present application proposes a light source device 1. Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a structural schematic diagram of a light source device 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The light source device 1 may include a support assembly 10, an excitation light source 20, and a wavelength conversion device 30. The excitation light source 20 can be used to emit a light beam, the support assembly 10 is used to change the direction of travel of the light beam emitted by the excitation light source 20, and the wavelength conversion device 30 can be used to convert the wavelength of the excitation light source 20 into another wavelength to meet subsequent use.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the excitation light source 20. For example, it can be a xenon lamp, an ultra-high pressure (UHP) mercury lamp, a laser diode (LD) lamp, a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, a fiber laser, a laser crystal, etc. UHP mercury lamps and LED lamps have the characteristics of long life and can maintain good stability during long-term operation. Fiber lasers and laser crystals have high output power, and the lasers they emit have high reliability and high efficiency. The advantage of LD lamps is low cost. The specific form of the excitation light source 20 can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here. The embodiment of the present application also does not limit the specific structure of the wavelength conversion device 30. The wavelength conversion device 30 can be a grating wavelength meter, a spectrometer, a color wheel, etc. without limitation. It can be specifically configured according to actual conditions. For example, in this embodiment, the wavelength conversion device 30 can use a phosphor sheet. The phosphor sheet has high conversion efficiency and a compact structure. It also has the characteristics of strong selectivity and good stability. It helps to maintain good stability during long-term use, thereby improving the light output accuracy of the light source device 1. In a more specific embodiment, the phosphor sheet can be composed of a matrix, an activator, a light-emitting layer, a functional layer, etc. The matrix is ​​the base of the phosphor, usually some low-energy compounds, such as silicates, oxides, etc. The function of the matrix is ​​to provide a stable environment for the activator and a reflective interface for the excitation light. The activator and the light-emitting layer can be arranged on the matrix. The activator is a key component for the luminescence of the phosphor, usually some compounds with high energy states, such as halides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. The light-emitting layer is the light-emitting area of ​​the phosphor, usually a mixture of an activator and a matrix in a certain proportion. The thickness and proportion of the light-emitting layer have a great influence on the luminescence properties of the phosphor.

[0042] Functional layers can be electron transport layers, hole transport layers, protective layers, etc. The electron transport layer is usually made of materials with high conductivity and thermal stability, such as oxides and nitrides. The function of the electron transport layer is to transfer excited electrons to the light-emitting layer, thereby generating fluorescence. The hole transport layer is usually made of materials with high thermal and chemical stability, such as nitrides and silicides. The function of the hole transport layer is to transfer holes in the light-emitting layer to the light-emitting layer, thereby achieving luminescence. The protective layer is usually made of materials with high thermal and chemical stability, such as silicides and nitrides. The function of the protective layer is to protect the phosphor from environmental factors and extend the service life of the phosphor.

[0043] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific structure and composition of the phosphor sheet, and users can select a suitable phosphor sheet according to actual needs.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2, which shows a schematic structural diagram of a support assembly 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application. The support assembly 10 may include: a support member 110 and a light-directing element 120. The light-directing element 120 may be disposed on the support member 110 and is used to direct the direction of travel of the light beam emitted by the excitation light source 20. For example, it may be used to reflect the direction of travel of the light beam incident on the light-directing element 120.

[0045] Specifically, referring to FIG2 , this embodiment illustrates a support member 110 having a table-like structure. The support member 110 may have a first bottom surface 111 and a mounting surface 113. Each mounting surface 113 may be inclined relative to the first bottom surface 111. The support member 110 may be provided with a mounting hole 113a, which at least passes through the mounting surface 113. It should be noted that only one mounting surface 113 may be provided. Providing multiple mounting surfaces 113 can improve the brightness of the light source device 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support member 110 also has a first top surface 112 opposite to the first bottom surface 111, and the two ends of the mounting surface 113 can be respectively connected to the first bottom surface 111 and the first top surface 112. At this time, the support member 110 can be a step or a structure similar to a step. Such a structural setting of the support member 110 is conducive to improving the structural stability of the support member 110.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the support member 110 can also be set to a conical structure, etc. In this case, the support member 110 can only have a first bottom surface 111 and a mounting surface 113. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the support member 110, and the specific structure can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3, which shows a schematic structural diagram of the support member 110 in the support assembly 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific structure and size of the mounting hole 113a. For example, the mounting hole 113a can be a mounting hole 113a with a circular cross-section, a mounting hole 113a with a square cross-section, or a mounting hole 113a with an irregular cross-section, and can be configured according to actual circumstances.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shapes of the first bottom surface 111, the first top surface 112 and the mounting surface 113. For example, the first top surface 112, the first top surface 112 and the mounting surface 113 can all be regular polygons. For example, the first bottom surface 111, the first top surface 112 and the mounting surface 113 can all be squares. For example, the first bottom surface 111 and the first top surface 112 can be regular triangles, and the mounting surface 113 can be a square. There is no limitation here, and the specific selection can be made according to actual conditions.

[0050] Furthermore, to facilitate the production of support member 110 and to more efficiently install support member 110 and light-directing element 120, first bottom surface 111 and first top surface 112 can be arranged in parallel. Furthermore, the shapes and sizes of multiple mounting surfaces 113 can be configured to be consistent. This allows for rapid batch installation of light-directing elements 120 without having to distinguish the specific orientation of mounting surfaces 113 or to establish a one-to-one correspondence between each mounting surface 113 and each light-directing element 120, thereby simplifying the assembly of support member 110 and light-directing element 120. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the cross-sections of multiple mounting surfaces 113 form a regular polygonal structure.

[0051] In addition, please refer to Figures 1 and 2 at the same time. The inclination angle between each mounting surface 113 and the first bottom surface 111 can be set to be equal. For example, the inclination angle of the mounting surface 113 relative to the first bottom surface 111 can be between 30°-60°, for example, it can be 30°, 38°, 45°, 60°, etc., which is not limited here and can be set specifically according to actual conditions. It can be understood that if the inclination angle between the mounting surface 113 and the first bottom surface 111 is too small, when the light emitting direction of the excitation light source 20 is parallel to the mounting surface 113, it will cause the width of the support member 110 in the light emitting direction of the excitation light source 20 (the X direction in the figure) to be too large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the entire support assembly 10. Similarly, if the inclination angle between the mounting surface 113 and the first bottom surface 111 is too large, when the light emitting direction of the excitation light source 20 is parallel to the mounting surface 113, the width of the support member 110 in the light emitting direction perpendicular to the excitation light source 20 (the Y direction in the figure) will be too large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the entire support assembly 10.

[0052] In addition, different types of light guiding elements 120 will also affect the above-mentioned inclination angle. Due to the different types of light guiding elements 120, the output angle of the light beam after each light guiding element 120 reflects the light beam is also different. Since the size of the wavelength conversion device is limited, the above-mentioned inclination angle is controlled within a certain range to ensure that multiple light guiding elements can guide light emitted from different directions to the same position on the wavelength conversion device.

[0053] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the material of the support member 110. For example, it can be made of metal, alloy, plastic, wood, rubber, ceramic, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, the support member 110 can be made of ceramic material. Since ceramic has a good thermal expansion coefficient and stability, the support member 110 can maintain good stability and is not easily deformed under long-term irradiation of the excitation light source 20. Therefore, the support member 110 is made of ceramic material, which can further improve the light guiding accuracy of the support assembly 10. Specifically, the support member 110 can be made of composite ceramics such as zirconium oxide-based composite ceramics, aluminum oxide-based composite ceramics, etc., or thermal barrier ceramics such as thermal barrier coating ceramics, thermal barrier insulation ceramics, etc. There is no limitation here, and the specific selection can be made according to actual conditions.

[0054] Continuing with FIG. 2 , light-directing element 120 has a second bottom surface 121. Second bottom surface 121 can be disposed on mounting surface 113 and cover mounting hole 113a. Second bottom surface 121 covers mounting hole 113a when the air pressure inside mounting hole 113a is lower than the air pressure outside mounting hole 113a. Specifically, second bottom surface 121 can abut against mounting surface 113 and completely cover mounting hole 113a. Light-directing element 120 can reflect a light beam incident on light-directing element 120.

[0055] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the above-mentioned method of achieving that the air pressure of the second bottom surface 121 inside the mounting hole 113a is lower than the air pressure outside the mounting hole 113a. For example, a vacuum operation may be performed inside the mounting hole 113a to make the air pressure of the second bottom surface 121 inside the mounting hole 113a lower than the air pressure outside the mounting hole 113a.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 113a may also pass through the first bottom surface 111, which may make it easier to evacuate the mounting hole 113a and further reduce the air pressure in the mounting hole 113a.

[0057] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the second bottom surface 121 is configured as a reflective surface. This embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific method for forming the second bottom surface 121 of the light-directing element 120; the method may be selected based on practical circumstances. For example, polishing may be used to polish one surface of the light-directing element 120 to a mirror finish. Specifically, this may be achieved using tools and materials such as abrasives, sandpaper, and polishing paste to achieve a high reflectivity, thereby forming the second bottom surface 121. Another example may be coating, where one surface of the light-directing element 120 is coated with a layer of a highly reflective material such as metal, glass, or plastic, thereby forming the second bottom surface 121. Another example may be surface treatment, where the properties of one surface of the light-directing element 120 are altered through chemical or physical methods to achieve a higher reflectivity, thereby forming the second bottom surface 121. For example, a highly reflective film may be formed on one surface of the light-directing element 120 through anodizing, electroplating, or spraying.

[0058] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the specific structure of the light directing element 120 , which may be, for example, a hemispherical lens, a reflector, etc.

[0059] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 again. The area of ​​the mounting hole 113a is smaller than the area of ​​the second bottom surface 121. This allows the light guiding element 120 to completely cover the mounting hole 113a, thereby facilitating the vacuum operation of the mounting hole 113a, and at the same time facilitating the gluing and fixing of the light guiding element 120 and the support member 110 after vacuuming.

[0060] In this embodiment, multiple light guiding elements 120 can be provided. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of light guiding elements 120, and can be set according to actual conditions and actual needs. For example, there are 4 light guiding elements 120 in the figure. Multiple light guiding elements 120 can be used to reflect light beams incident on each light guiding element 120 from different directions and converge in front of the first top surface 112. The front here can be understood as a certain area on the side of the first top surface 112 away from the first bottom surface 111. The light beams reflected by multiple light guiding elements 120 will converge in this area. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific position, shape, and size of this area.

[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the light directing element 120 may further include a second top surface 122 opposite to the second bottom surface 121 . The second top surface 122 may be configured to transmit the light beam so that the light beam entering the light directing element 120 can be smoothly emitted.

[0062] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the second top surface 122. For example, the second top surface 122 can be a straight surface or a curved surface. When the second top surface 122 is set to a curved surface, the second top surface 122 can also be used to converge, diverge or collimate light beams to improve the functional diversity of the light guiding element 120. It can be specifically set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the second top surface 122 can be used to transmit the light beam or to reflect the light beam, which is not limited here and can be specifically limited according to actual conditions.

[0064] Specifically, in one embodiment, the light-directing element 120 may be a reflector. Compared to reflective beads, reflective webbing, and the like, reflectors have advantages such as high reflectivity, high optical quality, freely designable curved surfaces, and low cost. It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific type of reflector; for example, the reflector may be a flat reflector or a curved reflector.

[0065] Plane mirrors have the characteristics of good reflection effect, clear imaging and simple structure. At the same time, because the light beam is incident on the plane mirror vertically, the propagation direction and incident angle of the light beam can be guaranteed, and thus the plane mirror can ensure the stability of the imaging.

[0066] Curved mirrors have the characteristics of high precision and low dispersion. At the same time, they can shape the light beam. Curved mirrors can shape the incident light beam into the required shape, such as circle, ellipse, etc. In addition, curved mirrors can reduce the size of optical components while maintaining optical performance, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the optical system.

[0067] It is understood that when a flat reflector is used as the light-directing element 120, the flat reflector can be directly attached to the mounting surface 113 and cover the mounting hole 113a. When a curved reflector is used as the light-directing element 120, the mounting hole 113a can extend to the edge of the mounting surface 113, as shown in FIG3 . In this case, the height difference of the mounting hole 113a on the mounting surface 113 is more obvious, which facilitates the alignment of the curved reflector with the mounting surface 113.

[0068] In a more specific embodiment, the light directing element 120 can be a hemispherical lens, which can also focus the light spot of the light beam emitted by the excitation light source 20, so that the light spot at the convergence point is smaller. When the laser light beam is converged onto the wavelength conversion device 30, the central brightness of the light emitted by the wavelength conversion device 30 can be improved.

[0069] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific size of the hemispherical lens. The diameter of the second bottom surface 121 of the hemispherical lens can be between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. For example, the hemispherical lens can have a second bottom surface 121 diameter of 1.0 mm. It is understood that the size of the hemispherical lens should not be too large or too small. If the hemispherical lens is too large, the overall volume of the support assembly 10 will increase, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the support assembly 10. If the hemispherical lens is too small, the size of the mounting hole 113a will be too small, which is not conducive to opening the support member 110, increasing the difficulty of manufacturing the support member 110 and further increasing the cost. It is understood that in this embodiment, the bottom of the second bottom surface 121 of the hemispherical lens is hollowed out to accommodate the mounting hole 113a. This reduces interference with the hemispherical lens caused by total internal reflection and further improves the light output accuracy of the light-emitting element 120 of the support assembly 10.

[0070] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 1 again, in one embodiment, the light source device 1 may further include: a tube housing 40 and a light-transmitting upper cover 50 .

[0071] The transparent top cover 50 is disposed on the tube shell 40 and forms a closed space with the tube shell 40. The excitation light source 20 and the supporting assembly 10 are disposed in the closed space, and the excitation light reflected by the light directing element 120 passes through the transparent top cover 50 and is incident on the wavelength conversion device 30.

[0072] In this embodiment, the housing 40 may be a box-shaped structure. The housing 40 may include a bottom plate 410 and side plates 420 connected to the bottom plate. The bottom plate 410 may be a rectangular plate. Four side plates 420 may be provided, and the four side plates 420 are respectively connected to the four sides of the bottom plate 410. In a more specific embodiment, the shape and size of the side plates 420 may be set to a consistent structure to facilitate mold production. Furthermore, the side plates 420 may be integrally formed with the bottom plate 410, which can simplify the installation of the housing 40. The housing 40 may be made of plastic, which is low in cost and has good insulation properties, or metal, which has good chemical corrosion resistance and high strength. The specific material can be selected according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0073] The light-transmitting upper cover 50 can also be a rectangular plate structure. The light-transmitting upper cover 50 can be covered on the side plate 420. In some embodiments, the size of the light-transmitting upper cover 50 can be slightly larger than the size of the bottom plate 420. This can ensure that the light-transmitting upper cover can completely enclose the tube shell 40, avoid the external environment from affecting the support assembly 10 arranged inside the tube shell 40, and thus ensure the normal operation of the support assembly 10. The light-transmitting upper cover 50 can be made of materials such as glass lens, plastic lens, and metal lens. The glass lens has a high refractive index and low dispersion, but the glass lens is heavy and fragile. Plastic lenses are relatively light, but the refractive index and dispersion performance are relatively low. Metal lenses have a higher refractive index and lower dispersion, and can provide high-resolution and high-quality images. However, the manufacturing cost of metal lenses is relatively high, and the specific selection can be made according to actual conditions, and there is no restriction here.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the transparent upper cover and the tube shell 40. For example, it can be a detachable connection such as bonding, snapping, etc., which makes it easier to inspect and repair the support assembly 10 set in the closed space.

[0075] Specifically, please continue to refer to Figure 1. In this embodiment, the plane of the inner surface of the bottom plate 410 in the tube shell 40 can be parallel to the first top surface 112 and the first bottom surface 111 of the support member 110, and the excitation light source 20 can also be placed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 410 in the tube shell 40 and located on one side of the support assembly 10. This can simplify the internal structure of the light source device 1 to facilitate the assembly of the light source device 1.

[0076] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 simultaneously. The embodiment of the present application further provides an assembly method of a support assembly 10. FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of an assembly method of a support assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0077] S110: Provide a support member, wherein the support member has a bottom surface and a mounting surface, the mounting surface is inclined relative to the bottom surface, and a mounting hole is provided on the support member, and the mounting hole at least passes through the mounting surface.

[0078] S120: placing a light guiding element on the mounting surface of the support member and covering the mounting hole.

[0079] In some examples, a plurality of light guiding elements are provided, and the plurality of light guiding elements are placed one-to-one on the mounting surface of the support member. The above-mentioned one-to-one correspondence does not refer to a specific relationship. It can be understood that one mounting hole 113a corresponds to one light guiding element 120. In this step, the light guiding element 120 can be positioned with the help of external tools so that it is located at the specified position to ensure the accuracy of the light beam emission direction after the subsequent light guiding element 120 reflects the excitation light beam.

[0080] S130: Vacuum the mounting hole to position the light directing element in a predetermined position on the support member.

[0081] It can be understood that after the mounting hole 113a is vacuumed, the light directing element 120 is fixed on the support member 110. At this time, if the position of the light directing element 120 does not reach the expected position, the previous step can be repeated until the reflective element reaches the expected position. This can improve the fault tolerance during the assembly of the support component 10.

[0082] S140: Apply glue between the light directing element 120 and the support member to fix them, and stop the vacuum process.

[0083] After light-guiding element 120 is positioned as desired, glue can be applied between light-guiding element 120 and the support. Specifically, glue can be applied at the connection between light-guiding element 120 and the support to prevent glue from covering excessive areas of light-guiding element 120 and thus changing the path of the light beam after exiting light-guiding element 120 due to the glue. It should be understood that the present embodiment is not limited to the glue used; for example, UV-curable glue, epoxy resin glue, etc. can be used. Once the glue solidifies, that is, when the light-guiding element 120 and the support are tightly connected, the vacuuming process can be stopped, completing the assembly of light-guiding element 120 and the support.

[0084] The support assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured to provide a mounting hole 113a on the mounting surface 113 of the support member 110, and to provide a light guiding element 120 on the mounting surface 113 and covering the mounting hole 113a. When the air pressure on the second bottom surface 121 of the light guiding element 120 in the mounting hole 113a is lower than the air pressure outside the mounting hole 113a, the light guiding element 120 can be pre-fixed on the support member 110, and then the support member 110 and the light guiding element 120 are fixed by glue, thereby improving the accuracy of the setting position of the light guiding element 120 and thereby improving the reflection accuracy of the light guiding element 120. The assembly method of the support assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application first places the support member 110 on a vacuum platform, then places a plurality of light-guiding elements 120 one-to-one on the mounting surface 113 of the support member 110, covering the mounting holes 113a provided on the mounting surface 113. The mounting holes 113a are then vacuumed to pre-position the light-guiding elements 120 on the support member 110. Glue is then applied between the light-guiding elements 120 and the support member 110 to secure them. Finally, the vacuuming process is stopped, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the support assembly 10. The light source device 1 applied to the above-mentioned support assembly 10 improves the light output accuracy.
