Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of protection equipment, and in particular, to a projection light path with an offset angle and a projector.


BACKGROUND

At present, single-liquid crystal display (LCD) projectors sold on the market basically adopt a 0% offset mode, that is, a display center of an LCD screen, a center of a Fresnel lens, and a center of a projection lens are on the same axis, and a projected image is centrosymmetric with respect to the screen. A lens of the single-LCD projector with the 0 offset is relatively simply designed. However, in an actual projection process, a lower half of a projected picture is easily covered by a desktop, which seriously affects the experience of a customer. In order to eliminate the problem that the lower half of the projected picture is covered by the desktop, many manufacturers adopt methods for increasing a height of a projector, including adding a supporting frame below the projector or making projector upright. The two methods can only solve some of the problems. Therefore, a projection light path with an offset angle and a projector are provided to solve the problem that the lower half of the projected picture of the projector is easily covered by the desktop in the prior art.


SUMMARY

A first objective of the present disclosure is to provide a projection light path with an offset angle and a projector, so as to solve the problem that a lower half of a projected picture of a projector is easily covered by the desktop in the prior art.


The projection light path with an offset angle and the projector of the present disclosure can be achieved by the following technical solutions:


The present disclosure discloses a projection light path with an offset angle, including a light source, a light cone, a first Fresnel lens, a polaroid, a screen, and a second Fresnel lens. Dimensional centers of the six components are on the same axial line, and the dimensional center and optical thread center of the second Fresnel lens do not overlap.


In one implementation, the projection light path with the offset angle of the present disclosure further includes an imaging camera lens; the imaging camera lens is arranged on a side edge of the second Fresnel lens; and the dimensional center of the imaging camera lens and the optical thread center of the second Fresnel lens are on the same axial line.


In one implementation, the light source adopts a light-emitting diode (LED) light source.


In one implementation, the first Fresnel lens is rectangular, and the dimensional center of the first Fresnel lens overlaps the optical thread center.


In one implementation, the screen adopts a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.


In one implementation, the second Fresnel lens is rectangular, and the dimensional center of the second Fresnel lens does not overlap the optical thread center.


In one implementation, the projection light path with the offset angle of the present disclosure further includes an imaging camera lens and a reflector mirror; the imaging camera lens is arranged on a side edge of the second Fresnel lens and forms an angle of 90 degrees from the second Fresnel lens; the reflector mirror is arranged between the second Fresnel lens and the imaging camera lens and forms an angle of 45 degrees from the second Fresnel lens; and dimensional centers of the imaging camera lens and the reflector mirror are on the same axial line.


A projector is provided, including any of the above projection light paths.


Compared with the prior art, the projection light path with the offset angle of the present disclosure has the beneficial effects:


According to the projection light path with the offset angle and the projector of the present disclosure, the light source, the light cone, the first Fresnel lens, the polaroid, the screen, and the second Fresnel lens are arranged in sequence and have the dimensional centers on the same axial line. The second Fresnel lens adopts an eccentric design, and the optical center of the second Fresnel lens and the dimensional center of the imaging camera lens are on the same axial line, so that a whole projected picture is displayed on an upper half of a projection region. Meanwhile, it is not necessary to add a support to the projector or increase the height of the camera lens, so that a function of preventing the projected picture from being covered by the desktop can be achieved.


According to the projection light path with the offset angle and the projector of the present disclosure, the reflector mirror is arranged between the second Fresnel lens and the imaging camera lens, so that a size of the projector can be reduced to a certain extent, which is convenient for transportation and storage of the projector.

An optical thread center 161 of the second Fresnel lens 16 is deviated from the dimensional center of the screen 15. The light source 11 is a light-emitting main body of a projector. The light cone 12 is arranged between the light source 11 and the first Fresnel lens 13. An effect of the light cone 12 is to collect and gather light emitted by the light source 11. The first Fresnel lens 13 corrects the light passing through the light cone 12 from scattered light into parallel light. The polaroid 14 is arranged between the first Fresnel lens 13 and the screen 15. An effect of the polaroid 14 is to filter out P light and transmit effective S light. The screen 15 is a source of images and colors of the projector. The second Fresnel lens 16 is arranged on a side edge of the screen 15, and the dimensional size of the second Fresnel lens does not overlap the optical thread center 161. The second Fresnel lens 16 converges the light transmitted through the screen 15 onto the imaging camera lens 17. The imaging camera lens 17 is arranged on a side edge of the second Fresnel lens 16, and a dimensional size of the imaging camera lens and the optical thread center 161 of the second Fresnel lens 16 are on the same axial line.

The light source 11 is a light-emitting main body of a projector. The light cone 12 is arranged between the light source 11 and the first Fresnel lens 13. An effect of the light cone 12 is to collect and gather light emitted by the light source 11. The first Fresnel lens 13 corrects the light passing through the light cone 12 from scattered light into parallel light. The polaroid 14 is arranged between the first Fresnel lens 13 and the screen 15. An effect of the polaroid 14 is to filter out P light and transmit effective S light.

Dimensional centers of the imaging camera lens 17 and the reflector mirror 18 are on the same axial line. By using an optical method, an image projected by the imaging camera lens 17 is located at an upper half of a projection region 20.


A projector of the present disclosure includes any of the above projection light paths.
