Provided is a projection device, including a casing, a light source module, an optical engine module, a projection lens, and a fan. The casing includes a right cover plate and a baffle opposite to each other, and a lower cover plate adjacent to the right cover plate. The baffle divides the casing into first and second areas. The right and lower cover plates respectively have first and second air outlets adjacent to each other and located in the second area. The light source module, the optical engine module, located on a light transmission path of the light source module, the projection lens, connected to the optical engine module, and the fan, adjacent to the baffle, are disposed in the first area of the casing. The projection device is placed in a first or second state, and hot airflow therein flows out from the first or second air outlet.

Projection device having casing with baffle

A projector including a casing, at least one fan, a light source module, a light valve module and a projection lens is provided. The casing has a first air inlet, a second air inlet and an air outlet. The fan is disposed in the casing and adjacent to the air outlet. The light source module is disposed in the casing and adapted to provide an illumination light beam. The light valve module is disposed in the casing and adjacent to the second air inlet, and is adapted to convert the illumination light beam into an image light beam. The light source module and the light valve module at least partially overlap with each other along a first direction perpendicular to an opening of the first air inlet. The projection lens is disposed on the casing and adapted to project the image light beam out of the projector.

Projector

A projection apparatus and a heat dissipation control method thereof are provided. The projection apparatus includes a light valve module, a light source, a brightness sensor, a cooling element, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor and a controller. The controller determines a specified temperature of the cooling element according to the brightness of an illumination beam provided by the light source, and calculates a dew point temperature according to the ambient temperature. The controller adjusts the operating power of the cooling element according to the dew point temperature, the specified temperature and the cold end temperature of the cold end surface of the cooling element. The operating power of the cooling element is flexibly adjusted based on the brightness provided by the light source to avoid a dew formation phenomenon on the cooling element and the light valve module.

Projection apparatus and heat dissipation control method thereof

A light source module includes a light source having an optical axis, a fan for providing a cooling airflow and a deflector disposed between the light source and the fan and directing a flowing direction of the cooling airflow. The deflector includes a first air duct connected between a first side of the light source and an air outlet of the fan, a second air duct connected between a second side of the light source and the air outlet of the fan, and a first airflow control assembly controlling the first air duct in a communicating state or a non-communicating state and having a first control shaft and a first airflow passing portion rotating about the first control shaft. The first control shaft is inclined to the optical axis so that a first angle is formed therebetween. The first angle is between 0 and 90 degrees.

Projector and light source module

A light source module of a projector includes a light source having a lamp axis, a fan for providing a cooling airflow, and a flow guide device disposed between the light source and the fan and for guiding the cooling airflow. The flow guide device includes a first air channel connected between a side of the light source and an air outlet of the fan, a second air channel connected between another side of the light source and the air outlet of the fan, and a first airflow control assembly disposed in the first air channel and for controlling the first air channel either in communication or non-communication states via gravity. The first airflow control assembly has a first control rotating shaft inclined relative to the lamp axis and a first included angle between the first control rotating shaft and the lamp axis is less than 90 degrees.
