具体实施方式
本申请提供了一种投影模组及交通工具,通过在投影模组中增加反射单元,并通过转动部件调整反射单元的位置,从而改变光束的投射位置。通过在投影模组中增加反射单元,并通过转动部件调整反射单元的位置,从而改变光束的投射位置。可以减少空间的要求。此外,可以降低电机扭矩,驱动电流规格,功耗和成本及二氧化碳排放得以降低。
应理解,本申请中使用的“第一”、“第二”等仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。另外,为了简明和清楚,本申请实施例多个附图中重复参考编号和/或字母。重复并不表明各种实施例和/或配置之间存在严格的限定关系。
目前,在某些投影场景下(例如,交通工具的照明系统、其他空间受限的投影场景等),电机推动边缘绕支点转动整个照明单元俯仰倾斜,随着坡道和路面起伏自适应改变出光角度和光束在地面的位置。即通过支架和照明单元总成上下俯仰,以实现迎宾成像或前方照明。然而,上述方案中的转动过程需要较大的空间,而汽车大灯的边界往往受限。
为此,本申请提供了一种投影模组。可以应用于交通工具的照明系统、其他空间受限的投影场景等场景。本申请实施例仅以应用于交通工具的汽车大灯为例进行示例性描述,当然也可以应用于交通工具的尾灯、刹车灯等。该投影模组包括:光源器件、镜头组、反射单元以及与反射单元相连接的转动部件。光源器件的出射光经过镜头组后形成光束,光束被投射到交通工具的外面(例如,交通工具的前方或侧方)。反射单元用于改变光束的传输方向。转动部件用于调整反射单元的位置,从而改变光束的投射位置。通过调整反射单元位置进行不同距离的投影,替代电机旋转整个模组的方案。一方面,反射镜的位置调整对于空间的要求较小,可以减少摄像模组所占的空间。另一方面,转动部件不用转动整个模组,而是投影模组中的反射镜。从而降低电机扭矩,驱动电流规格,功耗和成本及二氧化碳排放得以降低。另一方面,在迎宾模式下,相较于电机旋转整个模组的方案。投影模组通过转动部件调整反射镜的位置,可以使得光束投射至相距交通工具距离更近的地面上进行成像。
其中,反射单元的数量可以是一个、两个、或两个以上。另外,根据转动部件调整反射单元的位置不同,该投影模组所应用的交通工具可以应用于迎宾模式或行进模式等。
可以理解的是,反射单元具有改变光束投影位置/传播方向的功能。在反射单元使用过程中,可以有部分时间段(例如迎宾模式、行进模式)改变光路的方向,也可以有部分时间离开光束的传播路径(或者理解为不对光束进行反射)。只要有一段时间,通过转动件改变反射单元的位置,从而改变了光束投射位置,就在本申请的保护范围之内。
本申请实施例中,光源器件可以包括以下至少一种:光源与投影元件。光源包括发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED)和激光二极管(laser diode,LD)等中的至少一个。投影元件包括:液晶显示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)、硅基液晶(liquid crystal on  silicon,LCOS)、数字微镜器件(digital micro-mirror device,DMD)等中的至少一个。在光源器件包括光源,不包括投影元件的情况下,投影模组主要用于交通工具的远光灯与近光灯之间的切换。在光源器件还包括投影元件的情况下,该投影模组还用于在交通工具外面进行成像。
光源器件用于向镜头组输出原始光束。镜头组可以包括以下至少一项:透镜(例如,凸透镜、凹透镜等)、反射镜、棱镜或菲涅尔镜等。另外,镜头组中镜头的数量可以是一个或多个,具体此处不做限定。反射镜可以是具有一定曲率的曲面(例如,曲面半径在1000毫米至100000毫米之间),也可以自由曲面、还可以是球面等。在反射镜具有曲率的曲面时,可以修正光焦度,提升投影效果。转动部件可以包括转轴以及转轴的驱动电机/电磁阀等。转动部件用于控制反射镜调整镜头组射出光束的投影角度,进而实现交通工具的迎宾模式或行进模式。
其中,行进模式可以理解为是交通工具在行进过程中、需要远距离投影或者不需要近距离投影的场景。该行进模式下,投影模组将光束投射至与交通工具相距第二距离范围的地面上进行成像。或者,投影模组将光束投射至交通工具前方进行成像。迎宾模式可以理解为是交通工具在不行进过程中、在行进过程中但需要近距离投影、或者不需要远距离投影的场景。该迎宾模式下,投影模组将光束投射至与交通工具相距第二距离范围的地面上进行成像。第二距离范围大于第一距离范围。可以理解的是,投射至交通工具前方进行成像中的前方可以包括墙面或地面等。
可选地,上述的行进模式可以理解为投影模组的远光模式,迎宾模式可以理解为投影模组的近光模式。具体的,转动部件可以通过接收控制信号来调整反射单元的位置,进而实现投影模组在近光模式与远光模式之间的切换其中,该控制信号可以是交通工具基于环境变化或用户操作生成的。
当然,为了固定投影模组中的各器件,可以为反射镜、镜头组、光源器件配置相应的支架或壳体。
下面根据反射单元数量以及交通工具所处模式的不同对本申请实施例提供的投影模组分别进行描述。
在反射单元为一个反射镜,交通工具在迎宾模式的情况下,图1为本申请实施例提供的投影模组的一个结构示意图。如图1所示,投影模组包括:光源器件101、镜头组102、反射镜103以及与反射镜103相连接的转动部件104。镜头组102的主光轴与交通工具底盘所在平面呈非零角度。光源器件101的出射光经过镜头组102后形成光束。转动部件104用于调整反射镜103的位置,从而改变光束的投射位置。例如,将光束投射至与交通工具相距第一距离范围的地面上进行成像。或者理解为,转动部件104用于调整反射镜103的位置,从而使得反射镜103输出不同传输方向的光束。
在图1中,光源器件101的主光线和X轴重合。镜头组102的光轴和X轴重合。因此,光源器件101的主光线和镜头组102的光轴重合。转动部件104用于控制反射镜103调整镜头组102射出光束的投影角度(或者理解为,控制反射单元的位置或将镜头组102射出光束的方向进行调整),进而实现交通工具的迎宾模式或行进模式。在迎宾模式的情况下,反射镜103接收到镜头组102射出的光束,并将该光束的光路调整为第一下倾光路后,投射至与交通工具相距第一距离范围的地面上进行成像。例如,交通工具底盘所在平面与第一下倾光路 的角度为第一角度(例如,第一角度位于9度至30度之间)。第一距离范围为3米-6米。可以理解的是,图1中的第一角度与第一距离范围只是示例,在实际应用中,可以根据需要设置,具体此处不做限定。
可选地,为了减少反射镜103未反射完全带来的漏光。如图2所示,投影模组还可以包括挡板105,挡板105位于反射镜103与镜头组102之间(例如,挡板105位于反射镜103所在的支架上,或位于镜头组12所在支架上等);挡板105用于阻挡部分光。例如,在迎宾模式下,镜头组102射出的光束可能有一部分光束经过反射镜103进行反射,另一部分光未经过反射镜103反射。挡板105用于防止另一部分光投射出去。
可选地,为了简化分担镜头组102的成像设计,同时适配整灯更多差异化的造型需求。如图2所示,投影模组还可以包括拓展镜106,反射镜103射出的光束经过拓展镜106投射至与交通工具相距第一距离范围的地面上进行成像。其中,该拓展镜106可以是具有一定曲率的球面透镜、自由曲面透镜(曲率半径在1000毫米至100000毫米之间)或平面透镜等。另外,拓展镜106可以参与成像计算也可以不参与成像计算,具体此处不做限定。
在反射单元为一个反射镜,交通工具在行进模式的情况下,图3为本申请实施例提供的投影模组的另一个结构示意图。如图3所示,投影模组包括:光源器件101、镜头组102、反射镜103以及与反射镜103相连接的转动部件104。光源器件101的出射光经过镜头组102后形成光束。转动部件104用于调整反射镜103的位置(例如,反射镜103的调整角度),以使得光束投射至与交通工具相距第二距离范围的地面上进行成像。可以看出,图1与图3不同之处在于反射镜103的位置,或者理解为反射镜103镜面与水平光轴的角度。对于相同部分,此处不再赘述。
在图3中,在行进模式的情况下,反射镜103接收到镜头组102射出的光束,并将该光束的光路调整为第二下倾光路后,投射至与交通工具相距第二距离范围的地面上进行成像。例如,交通工具底盘所在平面(或与交通工具底盘所在平面平行的平面)与第二下倾光路的角度为第二角度(例如,第二角度位于9度至30度之间)。第二距离范围为8米-10米。可以理解的是,图2中的第二角度与第二距离范围只是示例,在实际应用中,可以根据需要设置,具体此处不做限定。另外,一般情况下,第一角度大于第二角度。即迎宾模式下投影模组对光束的调整角度大于行进模式下投影模组对光束的调整角度。
可选地,与前述图2类似,投影模组还可以包括挡板105,和/或拓展镜106。如图4所示,投影模组还可以包括挡板105,挡板105位于反射镜103与镜头组102连接的一侧;在迎宾模式下,挡板105用于防止反射镜103未反射的部分光束投射出去。反射镜103射出的光束经过拓展镜106投射至与交通工具相距第二距离范围的地面上进行成像。其中,挡板105与拓展镜106的描述可以参考图2的描述,此处不再赘述。
可选地,图4所示的挡板105的位置可以相较于图2所示的挡板105的位置更远离地面,或者理解为,在迎宾模式切换为行进模式后,不仅反射镜103的位置进行了调整,挡板105的位置也可以进行相应调整。另外,为了反射镜103射出的光束都可以经过拓展镜106,可以在反射镜103的射出方向上设置一个或多个拓展镜106。
结合图1至图4可以看出,第一角度大于第二角度。第一距离范围小于第二距离范围。即投影模组在迎宾模式下的投影距离小于投影模组在行进模式下的投影距离。
可以理解的是,图1至图4所示的投影模组是以上倾状态为例。在实际应用中,投影模 组也可以是下倾状态等,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,通过在投影模组中增加反射镜103,并通过转动部件104调整反射镜103的位置,以使得光束投射至与交通工具相距较近范围(即第一距离范围)或较远范围(即第二距离范围)的地面上进行成像。通过调整反射镜103位置进行不同距离的投影,替代电机旋转整个模组的方案。一方面,反射镜103的位置反射镜的位置调整对于空间的要求较小,可以减少摄像模组所占的空间。另一方面,转动部件104不用转动整个模组,而是投影模组中的反射镜。从而降低电机扭矩,驱动电流规格,功耗和成本及二氧化碳排放得以降低。另一方面,相较于电机旋转整个模组的方案。投影模组通过转动部件104调整反射镜103的位置,可以使得光束投射至相距交通工具距离更近或更远的地面上进行成像。
上面对反射单元包括一个反射镜的情况进行了描述,下面对反射单元包括多个反射镜的情况进行描述,本申请实施例仅以多个反射镜为两个反射镜为例进行示例性描述。
在反射单元包括两个反射镜,交通工具在迎宾模式的情况下。例如,上反射镜和下反射镜分别按画幅1/2角度差值布置以满足近处投影的画幅需求。可以在投影场景切换时可以实现焦面调节的功能,达到较佳的地面投影效果。可以理解的是,按画幅1/2角度差值布置只是较优的方案,在实际应用中,也可以使用其他布置方式,具体此处不做限定。
另外,基于两个反射镜与转动部件的连接情况,可以分为多种情况,下面分别进行描述。
第一种,反射单元中的第二反射镜与转动部件连接。
该种情况下,转动部件用于调整第二反射镜的位置,使得第二反射镜接收到镜头组的射出光束,并将光束反射至第一反射镜后投射出去。

在图5中,光源器件101的主光线和X轴重合。镜头组102的光轴和X轴重合。因此,光源器件101的主光线和镜头组102的光轴重合。转动部件104用于控制第二反射镜1032调整镜头组102射出光束的投影角度(或者理解为,控制第二反射镜1032的位置),使得第二反射镜1032射出的光线可以经过第一反射镜1031反射至地面进行成像,或投射至与交通工具相距第一距离范围的地面上进行成像。例如,交通工具底盘所在平面与第一下倾光路的角度为第一角度,第一下倾光路为迎宾模式下第一反射镜1031的射出光束的光路。第一距离范围为3米-6米。可以理解的是,图5中的第一角度与第一距离范围只是示例,在实际应用中,可以根据需要设置,具体此处不做限定。

图12B为本申请实施例提供的投影模组的另一个结构示意图。如图12B所示,投影模组包括:光源器件101、镜头组102、第一反射镜1031、第二反射镜1032、与第一反射镜1031连接的第一转动部件104、挡板105以及与第二反射镜1032相连接的转动部件107。第一转动部件104与挡板105连接,第一反射镜1031设置在镜头组102的一侧。第二反射镜1032与第二转动部件107连接,第二反射镜1032通过第二转动部件107设置在镜头组102的另一侧。
具体的,在行进模式下,第一转动部件104用于调整挡板105与第一反射镜1031的位置,一方面使得挡板105向上运动,进而减少挡板105对于镜头组103的投射光线的遮挡。另一方面将第一反射镜1031调整到接收不到来自第二反射镜1032反射光线的位置。第二转动部件107用于调整第二反射镜1032的位置(例如,图12B中第二反射镜1032的调整角度),以使得第二反射镜1032接收不到镜头组102发出的光束(或者理解为使得第二反射镜1032离开光束的传输路径),进而使得镜头组102的射出光束投射出去。
在迎宾模式下,第一转动部件104用于调整挡板105与第一反射镜1031的位置,一方面使得挡板105向下运动,进而防止镜头组102反射出的光线未经过反射单元反射出去。另一方面,将第一反射镜1031调整到可以接收来自第二反射镜1032反射光线的位置。第二转动部件107用于调整第二反射镜1032的位置,以使得第二反射镜1032接收到镜头组102发出的光束,并通过第一反射镜1031将光束投射到地面。
可选地,投影模组还可以包括拓展镜106。其中,拓展镜106的描述可以参考前面的描述,此处不再赘述。
进一步的,第一转动部件104可以包括第一转轴齿轮与第一电机齿轮,且第一转轴齿轮啮合第一电机齿轮。第一转轴齿轮分别与第一反射镜1031、挡板105连接,第一电机齿轮对应的电机接收到信号后,通过第一电机齿轮带动第一转轴齿轮从而驱动第一反射镜1031与挡板105运动。第二转动部件107可以包括第二转轴齿轮与第二电机齿轮,且第二转轴齿轮啮合第二电机齿轮。第二转轴齿轮与第二反射镜1032连接,第二电机齿轮对应的电机接收到信号后,通过第二电机齿轮带动第二转轴齿轮从而驱动第二反射镜1032转动。
上述第一转轴齿轮与第二转轴齿轮的参数(例如包括以下至少一项:齿轮模数、齿数等)不同,因此两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),第二反射镜1032还能实现行车时较远路面(例如8米至50米的动态光毯等)的画面投射。
该种情况可以理解为,第一反射镜1031固定在固定位置或者被第一转动部件104带动旋转至预设位置,当两个电机收到车端信号后,同时分别驱动挡板105和第二反射镜1032向上翻转至终不同状态。不同状态对应近场迎宾与远场投影(较远路面8米到50米的实时投影,例如动态光毯等)。
另外,在投影模组包括挡板的情况下,除了上述使用两个电机分别对挡板与第二反射镜进行控制之外,也可以通过一个电机对挡板与第二反射镜进行控制,下面分别进行描述。
第一种,电机通过齿条副同时控制挡板与第二反射镜的位置。
该种情况也可以理解为是通过一个齿条副同时连接第一转动部件与第二转动部件。进而 可以通过一个电机控制齿条副实现第一转动部件与第二转动部件的同时转动,第一转动部件与挡板连接,第一反射镜设置在镜头组的一侧,第二反射镜通过第二转动部件设置在镜头组的另一侧。即投影膜组相较于前述图1至图11的投影模组,结构上还包括被电机控制的齿条副,齿条副分别与第一转动部件以及第二转动部件连接。

具体的,在行进模式下,第一转动部件104用于调整挡板105位置,使得挡板105向上运动,进而减少挡板105对于镜头组103的投射光线的遮挡。第二转动部件107用于调整第二反射镜1032的位置,以使得第二反射镜1032接收不到镜头组102发出的光束(或者理解为使得第二反射镜1032离开光束的传输路径),进而使得镜头组102的射出光束投射出去。
在迎宾模式下,第一转动部件104用于调整挡板105的位置,使得挡板105向下运动,进而防止镜头组102反射出的光线未经过反射单元反射出去。第二转动部件107用于调整第二反射镜1032的位置,以使得第二反射镜1032接收到镜头组102发出的光束,并通过第一反射镜1031将光束投射到地面。

上述第一转轴齿轮与第二转轴齿轮的参数(例如包括以下至少一项:齿轮模数、齿数等)不同,因此一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。从而同时调整挡板与第二反射镜的位置,进而除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),还能实现行车时较远路面(例如8米至50米的动态光毯等)的画面投射。
该种情况可以理解为,第一反射镜1031固定在固定位置或者被第一转动部件104带动旋转至预设位置,当一个电机收到车端信号后,通过齿条副同时驱动挡板105与第二反射镜1032移动,由于挡板105与第二反射镜1032对应齿轮的参数不同,因此一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。从而同时调整挡板与第二反射镜的位置,进而除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),还能实现行车时较远路面(例如8米至50米的动态光毯等)的画面投射。
第二种,电机通过多组齿轮同时控制挡板与第二反射镜的位置。
该种情况下,也可以理解为是通过多组齿轮的一端连接第一转动部件,并通过多组齿轮的另一端连接第二转动部件。进而可以通过一个电机控制多组齿轮实现第一转动部件与第二转动部件的同时转动,第一转动部件与挡板连接,第一反射镜设置在镜头组的一侧,第二反射镜通过第二转动部件设置在镜头组的另一侧。具体的,投影膜组相较于前述图1至图11的投影模组,结构上还包括被电机控制的齿条副,齿条副分别与第一转动部件以及第二转动部件连接。
图12D为本申请实施例提供的投影模组的另一个结构示意图。如图12D所示,投影模组包括:光源器件101、镜头组102、第一反射镜1031、第二反射镜1032、第一转动部件104、与第一转动部件104连接的挡板105、与第二反射镜1032相连接的转动部件107以及多组齿轮109。多组齿轮109分别与第一转动部件104以及第二转动部件107连接。第一反射镜1031设置在镜头组102的一侧。第二反射镜1032与第二转动部件107连接,第二反射镜1032通过第二转动部件107设置在镜头组102的另一侧。
其中,关于行进模式与迎宾模式的描述可以参考前述第一种的描述,此处不再赘述。具体与第一种情况的不同点主要在于一个电机的连接对象。即第一种情况是一个电机通过齿条副同时控制第一转动部件与第二转动部件,该种情况是一个电机通过多组齿轮同时控制第一转动部件与第二转动部件
可选地,第一转动部件104还可以用于调整第一反射镜1031的位置以满足上述行进模式与迎宾模式。

一种可能实现的方式中,上述第一转轴齿轮与第二转轴齿轮的参数(例如包括以下至少一项:齿轮模数、齿数等)不同,因此一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。从而同时调整挡板与第二反射镜的位置,进而除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),还能实现行车时较远路面(例如8米至50米的动态光毯等)的画面投射。即图12D中第一转动部件104的参数与第二转动部件107的参数不同。
另一种可能实现的方式中,上述多组齿轮中与第一转轴齿轮相啮合的齿轮与多组齿轮中与第二转轴齿轮相啮合的齿轮参数不同,因此一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。从而同时调整挡板与第二反射镜的位置,进而除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),还能实现行车时较远路面(例如8米至50米的动态光毯等)的画面投射。即图12D中多组齿轮109中上方齿轮(即多组齿轮109中与第一转动部件连接的齿轮)与下方齿轮(即 多组齿轮109中与第二转动部件连接的齿轮)的参数不同。
可以理解的是,上述两种可能实现的方式只是举例,在实际应用中,还可以通过其他方式使得一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度不相同,具体此处不做限定。
该种情况可以理解为,第一反射镜1031固定在固定位置或者被第一转动部件104带动旋转至预设位置,当一个电机收到车端信号后,通过多组齿轮同时驱动挡板105与第二反射镜1032移动,由于挡板105与第二反射镜1032对应齿轮的参数不同,因此一个电机带动的两个齿轮转至终状态的角度各不相同。从而同时调整挡板与第二反射镜的位置,进而除了能实现近场迎宾以外(例如3米至6米),还能根据需要实现行车时较远路面8米到50米的实时投影,例如动态光毯等。
可以理解的是,上述只是以齿条副、多组齿轮为例进行的描述,在实际应用中,还可以是通过其他部件(例如齿轮副)同时连接第一转动部件与第二转动部件,具体此处不做限定。
