The present invention relates to the technical field of stage lights, and more particularly to a color temperature compensation system and method for a stage light.
In order to enrich the stage art effect and heighten atmosphere, it is necessary for stage lights to make many effects to meet the requirements of stage lighting engineers, such as a color effect, a pattern effect, a prism effect, a flame effect, a beam effect, beam amplification and de-magnification effects, and a light dimming effect. The dimming function of the stage light is an important function in the stage scenario, and is mainly used to adjust the luminance of the stage light from 0 to 100%. A dimming sheet used in the existing stage light technologies directly seats in the front of a light source to perform dimming by shielding the light emitting area of the light source, or the stage light with an LED light source directly uses electronic dimming, which can basically meet the requirements of general stage scenarios; however, in the dimming process of this dimming structure, the color temperature of light changes with the luminance of the light, and consequently, the atmosphere of the stage scenario does not meet the requirements of the lighting engineers. With the improvement of the light quality of stage lights in the stage scenario, more and more lighting engineers require that the quality of light cannot be degraded in the dimming process, and particularly require that, this important indicator, namely, the color temperature of the light, should remain basically consistent in the dimming process.
The present invention provides a color temperature compensation system for a stage light to overcome some disadvantages of the prior art, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate When a light source emits light with different luminance, the color temperature of the light can be compensated by the system according to the present invention in real time, so that the color temperature of the light can remain basically consistent in a dimming process, the stability of the light output quality of the light is thus improved.
According to the invention, the color temperature compensation system for a stage light comprises a light source and a dimming element for dimming the light source, and further comprises a color temperature compensation sheet for performing color temperature compensation on light output from the dimming element, and a driving mechanism for controlling the movement of the color temperature compensation sheet, wherein there are different changes of color value on the color temperature compensation sheet, and the driving mechanism drives the color temperature compensation sheet to switch in and switch out of a light path, thus implementing color temperature compensation.
After the luminance of the light emitted from the light source is adjusted by the dimming element, the color temperature compensation sheet performs color temperature compensation During color temperature compensation, the displacement of the color temperature compensation sheet switching in and switching out of the light path is a distance of the color temperature compensation sheet getting in and out of the light path relative to the optical axis.
In such configuration, the system comprises a color temperature compensation sheet and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to control the color temperature compensation sheet to switch in and switch out of the light path to compensate, in real time, the color temperature of the light with different luminance emitted by the light source, so that the color temperature of the light can remain basically consistent in a dimming process, the stability of the light output quality of the light is thus improved. And such configuration is simple in structure and convenient to operate.
Preferably, the driving mechanism comprises a motor and a belt drive element driven by the motor, and the color temperature compensation sheet is arranged on a conveyor belt of the belt drive element. The color temperature compensation sheet comprises a color temperature compensation region and a fixing end which is used to fix the color temperature compensation sheet to the conveyor belt. when the motor drives the belt drive element to rotate, the conveyor belt will rotate and drive the color temperature compensation sheet to switch in and switch out of the light path, thus implementing color temperature compensation. Such a driving manner is simple and easy to implement. The color temperature compensation sheet can be switched in and switched out of the light path through forward and reverse rotation of the motor, which is easy to control. Further preferably, the belt drive element further comprises a driving wheel and a driven wheel which are sleeved on both ends of the conveyor belt. The motor can drive the driving wheel to rotate. Specifically, a drive rotary shaft of the motor is connected to the driving wheel. The color temperature compensation system further comprises an auxiliary sliding element which is slidably connected to the color temperature compensation sheet. When the conveyor belt drives the color temperature compensation sheet to move, the color temperature compensation sheet can slide on the auxiliary sliding element, so that the stability of the movement of the color temperature compensation sheet can be improved, and the color temperature compensation effect thus can be further ensured.
Preferably, at least one color temperature compensation sheet is provided. Further preferably, two color temperature compensation sheets are provided. It is configured that the two color temperature compensation sheets switch in and switch out of the light path through moving toward or away from each other by means of the driving mechanism. Such configuration facilitates increasing the switch-in and switch-out speed of the color temperature compensation sheet compared to the case of one color temperature compensation sheet alone. Preferably, the number of each of the motor and the belt drive element is only one, and the two color temperature compensation sheets are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt. Such configuration is convenient for the two color temperature compensation sheets to move at the same speed, and can also simplify the driving mechanism, thereby facilitating control and also reducing costs; or the number of each of the motors and the belt drive element is two, and the two color temperature compensation sheets are respectively arranged on the two conveyor belts.
Preferably, an installation position of the two color temperature compensation sheets is configured with a height difference, and the two color temperature compensation sheets can partially overlap when the two color temperature compensation sheets move toward each other. Compared with a case where the two color temperature compensation sheets can only be in contact and cannot overlap, partial overlapping of the two color temperature compensation sheets enables color temperature of light at any position on the light path to be compensated, which can avoid a case where the color temperature of light at the position of a contact line cannot be compensated when the two color temperature compensation sheets are in contact in parallel, such case can further affect the color temperature compensation effect.
Preferably, the color temperature compensation sheet uses the same hue as a reference color, and performs color temperature by increasing or decreasing compensation on the light passing therethrough based on a change of color value of the reference color. Further preferably, the color temperature compensation sheet performs color temperature by increasing compensation on the light passing therethrough based on a change in the color value of blue, or the color temperature compensation sheet performs color temperature by decreasing compensation on the light passing therethrough based on a change in the color value of yellow.
Preferably, the color temperature compensation sheet is perpendicular to an optical axis.
Preferably, the change in the color value of the color temperature compensation sheet is a uniform change to simplify the design and production process of the color temperature compensation sheet; or the change in the color value of the color temperature compensation sheet varies according to a color temperature compensation value required by the light source under different luminance conditions; and the driving mechanism can control, according to a dimming speed, the moving speed of the color temperature compensation sheet during the color temperature compensation sheet switch-in and switch-out of the light path.
Preferably, the light source is a traditional light source, the dimming element of the traditional light source is a dimming sheet arranged between the color temperature compensation sheet and the light source, and the dimming sheet performs shielding dimming on the light passing therethrough by means of switch-in and switch-out of the light path; or the light source can be an LED light source, and the dimming element of the LED light source uses electronic dimming. The traditional light source includes non-LED lights and non-laser lights. Further preferably, when the light source is a traditional light source, the dimming sheet and the color temperature compensation sheet are arranged on the same driving mechanism; and the displacement of the color temperature compensation sheet switching in the light path is less than the displacement of the dimming sheet switching in the light path, and the displacement is correspondingly a distance of the color temperature compensation sheet or the dimming sheet getting in and out of the light path relative to the optical axis. Such configuration can save the internal space of the stage light and can switch the color temperature compensation sheet and the dimming sheet in and out of the light path in a matching manner.
Preferably, the system further comprises a reflector cup, and the color temperature compensation sheet is arranged at a position between the focus on which the light source is first focused and the reflector cup. Such configuration can avoid optical imaging of the color temperature compensation sheet. Further preferably, in order to reduce the size of the color temperature compensation sheet, the color temperature compensation sheet is arranged at a position close to the light source and away from the focus on which the light source is first focused.
The present invention also provides a color temperature compensation method for a stage light, which uses the above-mentioned color temperature compensation system for a stage light and comprises the following steps:
S1. selecting the model of a stage light with a color temperature to be compensated;
S2. testing a change in the luminance of output light in a dimming process of the stage light and testing the corresponding change in color temperature according to the luminance of output light, and recording a maximum value by which the color temperature deviates from a standard color temperature, namely, a maximum color temperature compensation value; and measuring the luminance and color temperature in the dimming process of the stage light by means of an illuminometer;
S3. designing a color value change range of the color temperature compensation sheet according to the maximum color temperature compensation value and a relationship between the change in the color temperature and the change in the luminance of output light and, and selecting a reference color according to required increase or decrease compensation of color temperature;
S4. designing a spatial position of the color temperature compensation sheet on a light path according to a spatial structure of the stage light and determining the size of the color temperature compensation sheet, and designing a change in the color value on the color temperature compensation sheet according to the size, the number, the color value change range and the reference color of the color temperature compensation sheet;
S5. determining a color temperature compensation value required under different luminance conditions according to the relationship between the change in the color temperature and the change in the luminance of output light, and determining a displacement value of the color temperature compensation sheet switching in and switching out of the light path under different luminance conditions according to the change in the color value and the size of the color temperature compensation sheet, and the spatial position of the color temperature compensation sheet in the light path; and
S6. the driving mechanism controlling the movement of color temperature compensation sheet according to the displacement value of the color temperature compensation sheet under different luminance conditions.
The factors affecting the color temperature include light path focusing, amplification, lens refraction, etc. in addition to a change in the luminance of a light source. Therefore, the change in color value of the color temperature compensation sheet needs to be designed based on specific test data, there is no uniform calculation formula, and models of stage lights also need to be determined.
When the color temperature compensation method is used to perform color temperature compensation on the stage light, due to the impact of the color temperature compensation sheet on luminance, the color temperature compensation value can be appropriately reduced within a luminance standard range, and it is preferable that the luminance of output light reaches required luminance.

In the present embodiment, the first manner of connections among the motor, the belt drive element, and the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 is used.
In addition, an installation position of the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 is configured with a height difference, and the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 can partially overlap when the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 move toward each other. Compared with a case where the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 can only be in contact and cannot overlap, partial overlapping of the two color temperature compensation sheets enables color temperature of light at any position on the light path to be compensated, which can avoid a case where the color temperature of the light at the position of a contact line cannot be compensated when the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 are in contact in parallel, such case can further further affect the color temperature compensation effect.
The color temperature compensation sheet 4 uses the same hue as a reference color, and performs color temperature by increasing or decreasing compensation on the light passing therethrough based on a change of color value of the reference color.

This embodiment further provides a color temperature compensation method for a stage light, which uses the above-mentioned color temperature compensation system and comprises the following steps:
S1. selecting the model of a stage light with a color temperature to be compensated;
S2. before the color temperature compensation system is used, testing, by means of an illuminometer, a relationship between the luminance of output light of the stage light and a change in the color temperature, dimming the prototype of the stage light of the applied model, and obtaining a color temperature and luminance change curve by testing an output light effect which is, shown in

According to the output light effect of the stage light after using the color temperature compensation system, the test data is obtained as shown in Table 1, and a new color temperature and luminance change curve is obtained as shown in
When the above-mentioned step S2 is performed, the dimming range is generally 100% to 0%, and for the color temperature compensation process, the low luminance part during dimming is not significant in actual use and the color temperature changes greatly. Therefore, a certain luminance value may be taken as a compensation termination point according to actual situations.
In addition, when the above-mentioned step S3 is performed, the reference color is not limited to blue, and other cool colors may be used.
When the above-mentioned step S3 is performed, the maximum color temperature compensation value can be appropriately increased, and a margin can be retained, which can avoid the case where a color temperature compensation range in use of the stage light is insufficient.
In addition, when the above-mentioned step S4 is performed, the position of the color temperature compensation sheet 4 in the optical axis direction from the light source 1 and the dimming sheet should be as close to the dimming sheet as possible, which can reduce the size of the color temperature compensation sheet 4.
When the above-mentioned step S6 is performed, due to the impact of the color temperature compensation sheet 4 on luminance, the color temperature compensation value should be appropriately eased within the luminance standard range, and it is preferable that the luminance reaches a standard.
Embodiment II is different from Embodiment I in that the change in color value of the color temperature compensation sheet 4 is not a uniform change. That is, the color value thereof varies according to the change in the color temperature compensation value required by the light source 1 under different luminance conditions, which is a non-uniform change. The driving mechanism 9 controls, according to a dimming speed, the moving speed of the color temperature compensation sheet 4 during the color temperature compensation sheet switch-in and switch-out of the light path.
According to Embodiment II, the drive rotary shaft 5 rotates at a uniform speed so as to control the two color temperature compensation sheets 4 to move, and only the directions of the color temperature compensation sheets 4 switching in and switching out of the light path and the displacement values of the color temperature compensation sheets need to be controlled in the control process.
Embodiment III is different from Embodiment I in that the light source 1 is an LED light source, and the dimming element 3 of the LED light source uses electronic dimming.
Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely embodiments used for clearly describing the present invention, instead of limiting the implementations of the present invention. For a person of ordinary skill in the art, other forms of changes or variations may also be made on the basis of the above-mentioned illustration. There is no need and no way to exhaust all implementations here. Within the spirit and principle of the present invention, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc., shall be comprised within the scope of protection of the present invention.
