Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, FIG. 1 is an explosion view of the light source device in an embodiment; FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of the light source device in an embodiment; FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of an array of lamp beads in the light source device in an embodiment; FIG. 5 is a schematic drawing of light path of any three lamp beads adjacent to each other in the light source device. The light source device of the present application is applied in a Liquid Crystal Display 3D printer, the Liquid Crystal Display 3D printer uses a display screen to selectively illuminate a cross-section of a 3D printing model by passing light through, to solidify photosensitive resin consumables inside a resin tank, thus forming the 3D printing model. The uniformity of the emitted light of the light source device affects the uniformity of the curing of the photosensitive resin consumables, which affects the accuracy and success rate of 3D printing. In the existing light source system, commonly used are array parallel light sources employing distributed area exposure splicing technology, to improves the uniformity of the light source through the uniform arrangement of many lamp bead arrays. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of an array of lamp beads in a prior art, FIG. 6 is a schematic drawing of light path of any four lamp beads adjacent to each other in the prior art, and the array of lamp beads 120 is uniform arrangement, a square area 160 is formed between four adjacent lamp beads 120, so that the light spots formed between adjacent lamp beads 120 have overlapping parts, and the light intensity of the overlapping parts is stronger, which makes the uniformity of the light source affected.

An embodiment of the present application provides a light source device, including a lamp panel 110, lamp beads 120, a lens assembly 200, and a display screen 300. The lens assembly 200 includes a plurality of lenses 210; the display screen 300 is arranged above and spaced apart from the lamp panel 110; the plurality of lamp beads 120 are arranged at a top of the lamp panel 110; a distance between any adjacent lamp beads 120 is d; any three lamp beads 120 adjacent to each other and having a spacing of d define an equilateral triangle area 150, a side length of the equilateral triangle area 150 is the distance d; a lens 210 is provided above each lamp bead 120; the lenses 210 are configured for refracting dispersed light of the lamp beads 120 to form parallel light and projecting the parallel light to the display screen 300.

In the present application, adjacent lamp beads 120 refer to two lamp beads 120 having a spacing of d. When the distance between two lamp beads 120 is greater than d, the two lamp beads 120 do not belong to the definition of adjacent lamp beads 120 in the present application. In the present application, the lens assembly 200 is provided between the display screen 300 and the lamp panel 110, and several lamp beads 120 are arranged on the lamp panel 110. The lamp bead 120 project dispersed light onto the corresponding lens 210, the lenses 210 refract dispersed light to form parallel light and projecting the parallel light to the display screen 300, wherein the refracted light tends to be perpendicular to the display screen 300, thus a parallel light source is provided for the display screen 300. A range of the light spot projected by the lamp bead 120 onto the corresponding lens 210 is capable of completely covering the corresponding lens 210, thus avoiding that part of the photosensitive resin consumables cannot be cured by exposure. When ranges of three light spots intersect at one point, d=r√{square root over (3)}; when d>r√{square root over (3)}, a center of the equilateral triangle area 150 cannot be covered by the light spots, so that a corresponding portion of the photosensitive resin consumable cannot be cured by exposure. Therefore, the distance between any adjacent lamp beads 120 is d=r√{square root over (3)}.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic drawing of light spots of three lamp beads adjacent to each other in the light source device. The equilateral triangle area 150 is formed between the three adjacent lamp beads 120. In the present application, three lamp beads 120 adjacent to each other form an equilateral triangular area 150, the equilateral triangular area 150 is took as a smallest unit for illustration. The three lamp beads 120 located in the equilateral triangular area 150 emit light and form three partially overlapping light spots on the corresponding lenses 210, one of the light spots is projected by a lamp bead 120 to form a circle with a radius r onto the lens 210. When the three light spots intersect at one point, the overlapping part is minimized. Therefore, it is assumed that when the three light spots intersect at one point, a first overlapping part 180 is formed, wherein the shaded portion in FIG. 7 is the first overlapping part 180. An area of the first overlapping part 180 is

$S_1=\left(\pi -\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)r^2,$

and a total area of the area enclosed by the three light spots is T₁=3πr²−S₁.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 6, and FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic drawing of light spots of four adjacent lamp beads in the prior art. The array of lamp beads 120 is uniform arrangement in the prior art, a square area 160 is formed between the four adjacent lamp beads 120, the square area 160 is took as a smallest unit for illustration. Assuming that a light spot formed by one of the four lamp beads 120 projected onto the lens 210 is also a circle of radius r, when four light spots intersect at one point, a second overlapping part 190 is formed, wherein the shaded portion of FIG. 8 is the second overlapping part 190. An area of the second overlapping part 190 is S₂=2r² (π−2), and a total area of the area enclosed by the four light spots is T₂=4πr²−S₂. By calculating a ratio ∂₁ of the area of the first overlapping part 180 to the total area of the area enclosed by the three light spots, and calculating a ratio ∂₂ of the area of the second overlapping part 190 to the total area of the area enclosed by the four light spots, it can be found ∂₁=S₁/T₁<∂₂=S₂/T₂. Therefore, overlapping part of the three light spots projected by the three adjacent lamp beads 120 onto the lamp panel 110 in embodiments of the present application is smaller than overlapping part of the four light spots projected by the four adjacent lamp beads 120 onto the lamp panel 110 in the prior art.

In the arrangement of the three adjacent lamp beads 120 on the lamp panel 110 into the equilateral triangle area 150, when the distance between the lenses 210 and the lamp beads 120 cannot make the three light spots intersect at one point, the area of overlapping part of the light spots is gradually increasing, which is prior art, so it will not be repeated. The arrangement of the array of lamp beads 120 is uniform arranged on the lamp panel 110 so that the square area 160 can be formed between four adjacent lamp beads 120 is also in accordance with the above law. Therefore, compared with the uniform arrangement of the lamp bead array so that the square area 160 can be formed between adjacent lamp beads 120 in the prior art, the arrangement of the three lamp beads 120 adjacent to each other to form the equilateral triangular area 150 in the present application, the overlapping part of the light emitted by the adjacent lamp beads 120 is greatly reduced, and the uniformity of the light source is improved.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 7, in one embodiment, the three lamp beads 120, which form the equilateral triangular area 150, project three light spots onto the corresponding lenses 210, the three light spots intersect at one point.

From the above analysis, when the three lamp beads 120 located in the equilateral triangle area 150 emit light separately, and the three light spots projected onto the corresponding lenses 210 intersect at one point, the overlapping part of the emitted light between the adjacent lamp beads 120 is minimized, and the uniformity of the light source is improved.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a top view of an isolation base and the lamp beads in the light source device provided by embodiments of the present application. In one embodiment, the light source device includes an isolation base 130, and the isolation base 130 is arranged between the lamp panel 110 and the lens assembly 200; a plurality of isolation cavities 131 is provided on the isolation base 130, the plurality of isolation cavities 131 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of lamp beads 120.

In one embodiment, each lamp bead 120 is extended in to one corresponding isolation cavity 131. Cavity walls of the isolation cavities 131 make the lamp beads 120 on the lamp panel 110 to be isolated from each other, and the lamp beads 120 do not cross illuminate between each other and do not interfere each other. Dispersed light emitted by the lamp beads 120 is refracted by the lenses 210 to form parallel light, so that the uniformity of the light source is improved.

In other embodiment, a gap is defined between each lamp bead 120 and the corresponding isolation cavities 131 in a vertical direction. Since the lamp beads 120 have a certain projection angle, most of the light emitted by the lamp beads 120 is projected into the corresponding isolation cavities 131, and only a small amount of the light is projected into the isolation cavities 131 corresponding to the neighboring lamp beads 120. Therefore, there is not much interference with the light emitted between the adjacent lamp beads 120, and heat generated by luminous emission of the lamp beads 120 is released through the gaps, and the service life of the lamp beads 120 is improved.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, and FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a schematic drawing of light spots projected on the display screen by adjacent lamp beads through the isolation base in the light source device provided by an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the isolation cavity 131 has a hexagonal cross-section, a bottom surface 211 of each lens 210 has a hexagonal shape, and the plurality of lenses 210 are respectively capped on the corresponding isolation cavities 131.

In one embodiment, adjacent hexagonal lenses 210 covered on top of adjacent isolation cavities 131 are connected to each other. Since each inner angle of the hexagonal shape is 120 degrees, bottom surfaces of the hexagonal lenses 210 covered on the top of the isolation cavities 131 form a complete plane. Since the plurality of lamp beads 120 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of isolation cavities 131, most of the light emitted by the lamp beads 120 is blocked by the cavity walls of corresponding isolation cavities 131, and only a small part of the light dispersed in the generally vertical direction is emitted from an upper end of the isolation cavities 131. Since the isolation cavity 131 has hexagonal cross-section, the light emitted from the upper end of the isolation cavity 131 is hexagonal, and since the bottom surface 211 of the lens 210 is hexagonal and is provided on the corresponding isolation cavity 131, the light spot projected on the lens 210 from the upper end of the isolation cavity 131 is hexagonal, the hexagonal light spot covers the lens 210 whose bottom surface 211 is hexagonal, (the thin cavity wall of the isolation cavity 131 is negligible). Since the adjacent hexagonal lenses 210 covered on the adjacent isolation cavity 131 are connected to each other, the refracted light passing through the hexagonal lenses 210 can completely cover the display screen 300, thus avoiding that part of the photosensitive resin consumables cannot be cured by exposure. Since the bottom surface 211 of all the lenses 210 is evenly covered by light spots, and the adjacent hexagonal lenses 210 covered on adjacent isolation cavities 131 are connected to each other, thus avoiding the overlapping of the light spots projected by adjacent lamp beads 120 onto the corresponding lenses 210, and thus improving the uniformity of the light source.

In one embodiment, when the hexagonal light spot is refracted by the corresponding lens 210 to the display screen 300, since the refracted light has a certain angle with the light perpendicular to the display screen 300, three hexagonal light spots projected by the three lamp beads 120 located in the equilateral triangle area 150 to the display screen 300 will expand outwardly along a radial direction of the light spots. Therefore, the three hexagonal light spots will be overlapped on three adjacent edges where the three hexagonal light spots meet to form a third overlapping part 230. The shaded portion in FIG. 11 is the third overlapping part 230. If a expand width of the light spot projected by the light bead 120 onto the display screen 300 through the corresponding lens 210 is d/2, then an overlap width the three edges where the three hexagonal light spots meet is d, and an area of the third overlapping part 230 is S₃=3rd, a total area of the area enclosed by the three hexagonal light spots is

$T_3=\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2}{r}^2.$

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a schematic drawing of light spots projected onto a display screen by adjacent lamp beads through an isolation base in a prior art. In the prior art, the array of lamp beads 120 is uniformly arranged so that a square area 160 can be formed between adjacent lamp beads 120, bottom surface of the corresponding lens is square, and the plurality of lamp beads 120 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with square isolation cavities 140. Four square light spots projected on the display screen 300 by four adjacent lamp beads 120 located in the square area 160 will form an overlapping part at four edges where the four square light spots meet, to form a fourth overlapping part 240, the shaded portion in the FIG. 12 is the fourth overlapping part 240. An area of the fourth overlapping part 240 is S₄=4rd√{square root over (2)}, and a total area of the area enclosed by the four square light spots is T₄=8r².

By calculating a ratio ∂₃ of the area S₃ of the third overlapping part 230 to the total area T₃ of the area enclosed by the three hexagonal light spots, and calculating a ratio ∂₄ of the area S₄ of the fourth overlapping part 240 to the total area T₄ of the area enclosed by the four square light spots, it can be found that

${\partial }_3=\frac{S_3}{T_3}<{\partial }_4=\frac{S_4}{T_4}.$

Therefore, overlapping part of the three light spots projected by the three adjacent lamp beads 120 onto the lamp panel 110 in embodiments of the present application is smaller than overlapping part of the four light spots projected by the four adjacent lamp beads 120 onto the lamp panel 110 in the prior art. As the angle between the refracted light and the parallel light perpendicular to the display screen 300 is very small, the expand width d/2 of the light spot is also very small, thus the area S₃ of the third overlapping part 230 is very small, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of the light source.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, in one embodiment, the lens 210 is a plano-convex lens.

In one embodiment, the plano-convex lenses are adherent to each other so that there is no gap between the plano-convex lenses, and bottom surfaces 211 of the plurality of lenses 210 form a complete plane, so that the lights projected onto bottom surfaces 211 of the lenses 210 are refracted as hexagonal surface light sources on the display screen 300, so that the display screen 300 is completely covered by the light source, thereby improving the printing accuracy.

In one embodiment, the lens assembly 200 includes a lens holder 220, the lens holder 220 is mounted on the isolation base 130, and the plurality of lenses 210 are correspondingly provided on the lens holder 220, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the lenses 210.

Referring to FIG. 10, in one embodiment, each lamp bead 120 is located at the focal point of a plano-convex lens.

In one embodiment, each lamp bead 120 is located at the focal point of the plano-convex lens, thereby causing dispersed light emitted by the lamp bead 120 is refracted to refract to form parallel light projected on the display screen 300 through the lens 210, thereby improving the collimation of the refracted light, thus decreasing the angle between the refracted light and the parallel light rays, so that the area of the third overlapping part decreases, and thereby improving the uniformity of the light source.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the light source device includes a heat dissipation plate 510, the lamp panel 110 is arranged above the heat dissipation plate 510.

In one embodiment, the heat dissipation plate 510 is mounted on a side of the lamp panel 110 away from the lamp beads 120, when the lamp beads 120 emits lights, a large amount of heat will be generated, and the heat dissipation plate 510 dissipates the heat in a timely manner, so that the service life of the lamp beads 120 can be improved.

Furthermore, the light source device includes a fan 520, the fan 520 is arranged on a lower end of the heat dissipation plate 510, thereby accelerating air flow and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation plate 510.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the light source device includes an adjusting assembly 400, one end of the adjusting assembly 400 is connected to the display screen 300, and another end is movably connected to the heat dissipation plate 510. The adjusting assembly 400 is configured to adjust a distance between the lens assembly 200 and the display screen 300.

Since the lenses 210 are mounted on the isolation base 130, the isolation base 130 is mounted on the lamp panel 110, and the lamp panel 110 is mounted on the heat dissipation plate 510, when the heat dissipation plate 510 is moved by the adjusting assembly 400, the distance between the lens 210 and the display screen 300 changes, so as to be able to adjust the intensity and uniformity of the illumination of the light source projected on the display screen 300.

Referring to FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the adjusting assembly 400 includes one or more adjusting rods 410 and one or more positioning members. A sidewall of each adjusting rod 410 has an abutment surface 411, one end of the adjusting rod 410 is connected to the display screen 300, and another end of the adjusting rod 410 is connected to the heat dissipation plate 510. The heat dissipation plate 510 defines one or more limiting holes 512, the positioning members are able to pass through the limiting holes 512 and be abutted to the abutment surfaces 411.

In one embodiment, corners of the heat dissipation plate 510 define one or more connection holes 511 extending in the vertical direction, and the limiting holes 512 are in communication with the connection holes 511, and one end of the adjusting rods 410 extend into the connection holes 511 so as to be movably connected with the heat dissipation plate 510. One end of the positioning members passes through the limiting holes 512 and abut against the abutment surfaces 411, thereby restricting a relative movement of the heat dissipation plate 510 and the adjusting rod 410, and fixing the heat dissipation plate 510 in a current position. In one embodiment, the positioning members are threaded with inner walls of the limiting holes 512, thereby the positioning members are stably connected to the heat dissipation plate 510. In one embodiment, the positioning member is a screw.

When the distance between the lens 210 and the display screen 300 is to be adjusted, the positioning members are rotated so that the ends of the positioning members are separated from the abutment surfaces 411, the heat dissipation plate 510 is capable of moving relative to the adjusting rods 410, and then the positioning member is rotated in an opposite direction, the positioning members are stably abutted against the abutment surfaces 411, increasing the friction with the contact surface 411, and improving the effect of the restriction on the heat dissipation plate 510.

Furthermore, the abutment surface 411 is a flat cut surface, and when a bottom end of the screw is abutted to the flat cut surface, since the bottom end of the screw is also a flat surface, the contact area between the screw and the flat cut surface is increased, thereby increasing the friction between the screw and the flat cut surface, so as to make the positioning member stably abutted to the abutment surface 411, and to improve the effect of the restriction of the heat dissipation plate 510. In other embodiments, the abutment surface 411 may be a curved surface, as long as the abutment surface 411 is capable of cooperating with the positioning member to realize the restriction of the heat dissipation plate 510.

Furthermore, the light source device includes a support frame 540, and an end of the adjusting rod 410 that is away from the display screen 300 is connected to the support frame, thereby enabling the adjusting rod 410 to stably support the display screen 300.
