Abstract:
A cooling module for use with a DMD module of a projection apparatus is provided. The cooling module comprises a heat conduction device, at least one heat pipe, and at least one fin. Heat accumulating on the DMD module can be released from the heat conduction device to the fins through the heat pipe. Meanwhile, the fins partially overlap along the direction of the light coming from the light source. Thus, the fins can also prevent the unused light in the casing of the projection apparatus from leakage.
Abstract:
A temperature controlling system adapted for a projection apparatus is provided. The projection apparatus comprises at least a heat generating element, while the temperature controlling system comprises a liquid flow system, a heat generating device, and a heat transferring device. The liquid flow system is disposed along the heat generating element. The heat generating device produces heat with a positive value (endothermic) or a negative value (exothermic) in response to an environment dependent on the location of the projection apparatus. The heat transferring device transfers the heat generated by the heat generating device along the liquid flow system. The present invention maintains the operation of the projection apparatus under the desired working temperature and enables a thermal equilibrium of the projection apparatus without being influenced by the over-temperature or under-temperature of the external environment.

Abstract:
An overheat prevention device comprises an inclination angle detector, a cooling module, and a control circuitry. The inclination detector is adapted to detect a first inclination angle and a second inclination angle, which an light source module is subject to relative to a reference plane, and transmit a first inclination signal and a second inclination signal, respectively. In response to the first inclination signal, the control circuitry alters the cooling module from a first operation mode to a second operation mode. In response to the second inclination signal, the control circuitry alters a projection apparatus from the first operation mode to the second operation mode.
Abstract:
A projection device is provided. The projection device comprises a heat source, a housing, and a cooling system. The cooling system is disposed inside the housing of the projection device. The housing comprises at least one outlet and at least one inlet. The cooling system comprises a first cooling device and a second cooling device, wherein the first cooling device is adapted to guide the air outside the housing from the inlet to the outlet, while the second cooling device is disposed adjacent to the outlet and inhales the air outside the housing through the outlet to cooperatively dissipate the heat generated by the heat source of the projection device.
Abstract:
A guiding device and a projector comprising the same are provided. The projector comprises a blower and a bulb. The blower is used for cooling the bulb. The guiding device is disposed between the blower and the bulb, and comprises a body and a flapper. The body of the guiding device is formed with a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet and the second outlet are adapted to guide the blower to form a first airflow and a second airflow, respectively. The flapper is disposed in the second outlet and moves along a direction of gravity to partially cover the second outlet to force the second airflow to flow towards a portion of the bulb away from the direction of gravity.

Abstract:
The present invention is a cooling apparatus for use in lighting that comprises a reflector. The cooling apparatus comprises an airflow guiding module and a fan wherein the guiding module is circumferentially disposed around the reflector to form a first guiding space between the reflector and the guiding module. The guiding module has an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. The fan is disposed on the outer end of the airflow inlet to guide outside airflow traveling from the airflow inlet to the airflow outlet through the first guiding space. The cooling apparatus of the present invention further comprises a shielding device disposed on the outer end of the airflow outlet to form a second guiding space between the shielding device and the airflow outlet, whereby the reflector is cooled efficiently while shielding light.
