Description

A desktop projection display device for a computer and a computer system TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer accessories, in particular to a desktop projection display device for a computer and a computer system. BACKGROUND

[0002] A computer is an indispensable electronic device in people's work and life, and people use computers for socializing, completing work, playing games, etc. A common desktop computer includes a computer host and a display, and is also equipped with a keyboard, a mouse and other devices. The existing display adopts an active light-emitting principle. For example, a commonly used OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display adopts a display principle of driving an organic semiconductor material and a light-emitting material to emit light through carrier injection and recombination. The essence is that an ITO (Indium-Tin Oxide) glass transparent electrode is used as a device anode, a metal electrode is used as a cathode, an electron is transmitted from the cathode to an electron transport layer, a hole is injected from the anode to a hole transport layer, and then the two are migrated to a light-emitting layer. When the two meet, an exciton is generated to excite a light-emitting molecule, and light is generated after radiation.

[0003] Such light-emitting technology stimulates the eyes of the user more, and long-term use can cause eye irritation, vision decline, etc. and even cause vision damage. In addition, the active light-emitting display has high energy consumption, which is not conducive to the realization of energy saving and carbon reduction. In order to reduce the stimulation of such a display to the user and reduce energy consumption, some existing smart computers use a passive light-emitting principle to display images. For example, a projection principle is used to form a projection on a screen, and then the diffuse reflection of the screen is used to shoot image light signals into the eyes, which can reduce the damage caused by direct projection of light into the eyes. At the same time, the use of a projector for projection display is also conducive to the reduction of power consumption.

[0004] For example, the patent application with the publication number CN109582094A discloses an interactive eye protection screen smart computer, which includes an interactive eye protection screen and a smart projector. The smart projector has the functions of a computer host and projection onto the interactive eye protection screen, and the interactive eye protection screen has the functions of image display and interaction with people. However, in the existing computer with a projection structure, the projection part is integrated in the base, resulting in a large structure of the base, which is obviously not suitable for modern work environments (the desktop width is 50-65 cm).

[0045] In the specific implementation process, the top support 140 and the back support 130 are detachably connected and are limited and clamped through a clamping groove (the clamping position is fixed through a screwing part 150), which can not only enable the entire mounting support to be stored during transportation, but also limit the top support 140 and the back support 130 to a fixed mounting position, thereby avoiding the influence of the projection effect caused by the unfamiliarity of the user. In another embodiment, the top support 140 and the back support 130 are movably connected, and a screwing part 150 is arranged at the connection position, so that the top support 140 and the back support 130 can be rotated, thereby realizing the adjustment of the projection angle of the projection light machine 170, which is beneficial to the adjustment of the user according to the requirements.

[0046] In order to increase the adjustable function of the mounting support, the top support 140 in the present application is an adjustable support, and the top support 140 is used for adjusting the projection focal length of the projection light machine 170; and / or the back support 130 is an adjustable support, and the back support 130 is used for adjusting the mounting height of the projection light machine 170.

[0047] Specifically, the adjustable support can be realized through the structure of an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, and the adjustment of the relative position between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve is used to realize the adjustment of the support. In addition, the adjustable support can also be realized through detachable support units, and the connection of different numbers of support units is used to realize the length control of the adjustable support. The above two embodiments are specific implementation structures, and the existing adjustment mode can be used to realize the adjustment, and the present application will not be described in detail.

[0048] In order to realize the electrical connection of the projection light machine 170 and the projection host 180, and avoid the wiring disorder, the mounting bracket in the present application is provided with a channel for wiring. Specifically, the middle part of the back bracket 130 is hollow to form a bracket perforation 131, the bracket perforation 131 is used to reduce the weight of the back bracket 130, and the bracket perforation 131 is used for the cable of the projection light machine 170 to pass through. The top bracket 140 is provided with a bracket slot 141, in one implementation of the projection light machine 170, the bracket slot 141 can be directly used for the cable of the projection light machine 170 to pass through, which is conducive to realizing the integrated layout of the projection light machine 170; in another implementation of the projection light machine 170, the bracket slot 141 can also be used for arranging a long strip-shaped PCB circuit board and the related cable connected to the circuit board, which can realize the near driving of the PCB circuit board and reduce the laying area of the cable. The bracket slot 141 can also be used for heat dissipation of the projection light machine 170, and since the projection light machine 170 belongs to a high heat output component, the design of the bracket slot 141 can be more conducive to the heat dissipation of the projection light machine 170, based on which, the top bracket 140 can be made of a material with higher heat dissipation efficiency (such as aluminum material or a component equipped with a semiconductor cooling structure), which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the projection light machine 170 and has small weight, avoiding the defect of unstable structure caused by installing a heavy component on the top.

[0049] In addition, the mounting bracket in the present application also includes a bottom bracket 120, and the bottom of the back bracket 130 is connected with the bottom bracket 120.

[0051] In order to increase the stability of the whole projection display device, the mounting bracket further comprises a bracket base 110, and the bottom bracket 120 is mounted on the bracket base 110, so that the projection host 180, the projection light machine 170 and the top bracket 140 and the back bracket are all on the bracket base 110, and the bracket base 110 serves as a support base of the whole structure.

[0052] Specifically, the bracket base 110 comprises a base body 111, and the side surface of the base body 111 is in a C shape. The bottom of the base body 111 extends forward to form two feet 113, and the two feet 113 are linearly recessed to form a front groove 114; the middle part of the base body 111 protrudes to the rear side, and the protruding position is recessed to form a hollow rear groove 112; the upper part of the base body 111 extends to the front side to form a support plane, and the bottom bracket 120 is mounted on the support plane.
