This invention discloses a variable-
magnification foldable
aerial imaging device, a mechanical packaging
assembly, an electronic control module, and an imaging control method, comprising, in sequence, an object surface
light source, a movable
zoom lens group, a reflector, and a DCRA (Dihedral
Radiation Recognition). The movable
zoom lens group is used to magnify and image the object surface at a preset
magnification. The reflector is used to fold and redirect the light path emitted from the movable
zoom lens group. The DCRA is used to receive the light rays reflected by the reflector and reconstruct a suspended
real image in the air based on the principle of dihedral reflection. The movable
zoom lens group of this invention breaks through the limitation of traditional DCRA, which can only achieve 1:1 same-size imaging, realizing multi-level variable-
magnification display of suspended real images in the air, forming large-size, high-quality suspended real images. Simultaneously, the reflector folds the light path, compressing the device's depth, making it adaptable to confined spaces. This invention can be widely applied in fields such as vehicle head-up displays, aircraft
cockpit displays, medical surgical navigation displays, and interactive exhibition devices.
