As shown in
wherein E is a distance between the light source 1 and the lens 3 in centimeters; D is the focal length of the lens 3 in centimeters.
Specifically, the light source 1 is a point light source, for example, an LED lamp, configured to emit light, and irradiate the light onto the lens 3 through the projection film 2; the projection film 2 is translucent or transparent, and is provided with a pattern. The projection film 2 is provided between the light source 1 and the lens 3, when light penetrates through the projection film 2, various light beams present brightness or color corresponding to the pattern, and then various light beams are refracted by the lens 3, such that transmission directions of the light beams are changed, and when the light beams are projected onto a wall surface or a projection plane 8, an image on the projection plane 8 presents an overlapping or deformation effect, thereby a three-dimensional stereo image can be presented; or, the lens 3 is provided between the light source 1 and the projection film 2, light passing through the lens 3 is converged, and the converged light passes through the projection film 2, along a radial direction of the lens 3, in a direction from an axis close to the lens 3 to an axis away from the lens 3, an included angle between the light and an axis of the lens 3 increases progressively, when light penetrates through the projection film 2 and irradiates on the wall surface or the projection plane 8, along a radial direction of the lens 3, in a direction from the axis close to the lens 3 to the axis away from the lens 3, the superposed effect of the image on the wall surface or the projection plane 8 increases progressively, so that an image edge is overlapped or deformed, and further a three-dimensional stereo image is presented.
As shown in
and in a range of a non-special effect area 7, the positional relationship between the projection film 2 and the lens 3 satisfies the following formula:
wherein E is the distance between the light source 1 and the lens 3, and D is the focal length of the lens 3, at this time, the light beams are projected onto the wall surface or the projection plane 8 to present a two-dimensional pattern, a distorted deformed pattern, or no pattern.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the projecting apparatus includes a reflective sleeve 4, and the light source 1 is coaxial with the reflective sleeve 4 and is connected inside the reflective sleeve 4. Specifically, an inner diameter of one end of the reflective sleeve 4 close to the projection film 2 is greater than an inner diameter of one end facing away from the projection film 2, and an inner side wall of the reflective sleeve 4 is provided with a mirror surface, configured to reflect light emitted from the light source 1, thereby ensuring that the light emitted from the light source 1 is transmitted towards the projection film 2 and the lens 3 along an axis direction of the reflective sleeve 4. The light source 1 is inserted in the reflective sleeve 4, and the light source 1 can be, by being pushed and pulled, made to slide along the axis direction of the reflective sleeve 4 to change the position of the light source 1 inside the reflective sleeve 4, thereby the diameter of light beams emitted through the reflective sleeve 4 can be changed. When the light source 1 moves along the axis direction of the reflective sleeve 4 towards the direction close to the projection film 2, the diameter of the light beams emitted through the reflective sleeve 4 is decreased gradually; when the light source 1 moves along the axis direction of the reflective sleeve 4 towards the direction facing away from the projection film 2, the diameter of the light beams emitted through the reflective sleeve 4 is increased gradually. By changing the diameter of the light beams emitted through the reflective sleeve 4, the diameter of the light beams can be allowed to be adapted to the size of the pattern on the projection film 2.
As shown in
Further, the reflective sleeve 4 includes: a sleeve body 41 and a ring plate 42, and the ring plate 42 is connected with the sleeve body 41; the lens frame 5 is provided therein with an annular slot 51, and the ring plate 42 is inserted in the annular slot 51. In the above, the lens frame 5 includes two frame bodies with a section in a semicircular shape, the two frame bodies are jointed to form the lens frame 5 with a section in an annular shape, and the ring plate 42 is inserted in the annular slot 51, so as to realize connection between the reflective sleeve 4 and the lens frame 5. Light is transmitted to the projection film 2 and the lens 3 along the axis direction of the reflective sleeve 4 and the lens frame 5, and light can be prevented from scattering through the reflective sleeve 4 and the lens frame 5.
As shown in
Further, diameters of the projection film 2 and the lens 3 are both greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve body 41, thus ensuring that the light transmitted out through the sleeve body 41 can be irradiated onto the projection film 2 and the lens 3, so as to make full use of the light, and prevent light from irradiating a shading object to cause heat-up of the device.
As shown in
Further, the telescopic driving assembly 9 includes: a first telescopic cylinder 91 and a second telescopic cylinder 92, an axis of the first telescopic cylinder 91 is perpendicular to an axis of the second telescopic cylinder 92; the first telescopic cylinder 91 is hinged between the reflective sleeve 4 and the lens frame 5 through a first hinge shaft; the second telescopic cylinder 92 is hinged between the reflective sleeve 4 and the lens frame 5 through a second hinge shaft; an axis of the first hinge shaft and an axis of the second hinge shaft are both parallel to the axis of the reflective sleeve 4. Through extension or shortening of the first telescopic cylinder 91 and the second telescopic cylinder 92, the reflective sleeve 4 can be enabled to move along the radial direction of the lens frame 5, so that the image on the projection film 2 is mapped on the wall surface or the projection plane 8 and is dynamically turned over.
A projecting method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes following steps:
enabling light emitted from a light source 1 to pass through a projection film 2 and a lens 3, and converging the light on a projection plane 8; and
setting a distance between the light source 1 and the lens 3 in centimeters, E, based on
wherein D is a focal length of the lens 3 in centimeters. At this time, the pattern projected on the projection plane 8 is deformed by refraction of light to present a three-dimensional effect.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the projecting method further includes: moving the light source 1, the projection film 2 or the lens 3 along a radial direction of the lens 3, such that relative positions of the light source 1, the projection film 2 and the lens 3 in the radial direction of the lens 3 are changed, thus, included angles between transmission directions of light, which successively passes through the same position on the projection film 2, after passing through the lens 3, and the axis of the lens 3 are changed. Specifically, the light of the light source 1 diverges from one side facing away from the projection plane 8 to one side close to the projection plane 8, when the light source 1 is moved along the radial direction of the lens 3, an incident angle of the light passing through the lens 3 is changed, so that the position of the light, which passes through the same position of the projection film 2, irradiating on the projection plane 8 can be changed, and when the light source 1 continuously moves along the radial direction of the lens 3, the image on the projection plane 8 presents a rolling dynamic effect; likewise, when the light source 1 or the projection film 2 is moved along the radial direction of the lens 3, two beams of light passing through the same position of the projection film 2 successively within a certain time can be allowed to irradiate on different positions on the projection plane 8, so that a dynamic three-dimensional image is formed on the projection plane 8.
