Publication number: 20230176462Abstract: An optical engine module including a housing, an optical element, a positioning member, and a heat dissipation assembly is provided. The optical element and the positioning member are arranged in the housing. The positioning member abuts and positions the optical element. The heat dissipation assembly is coupled to the positioning member. The heat dissipation assembly absorbs heat generated by the optical element through the positioning member and transmits the heat outside the housing. A projection device is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Coretronic CorporationInventors: Chun-Lung Yen, Wen-Jui Huang, Te-Ying Tsai

Publication number: 20220326506Abstract: A wheel including a substrate, a driving assembly, a fixing bracket, and a damper is provided. The driving assembly is disposed on the substrate to drive the substrate to rotate. The driving assembly and the damper are fixed onto the fixing bracket. The damper is disposed between the driving assembly and the fixing bracket, and the driving assembly is located between the substrate and the damper. The driving assembly has a first diameter, the damper has a second diameter, and the second diameter is greater than or equal to the first diameter. The wheel is disposed in a projector and may effectively reduce vibration and noise generated during the operation of the wheel, so as to mitigate a noise problem of the projector and increase a service life of the wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Applicant: Coretronic CorporationInventor: Chun-Lung Yen

Patent number: 11470291Abstract: A projector including a casing, a control system, an image assembly and at least one electric thermal heater is provided. The image assembly is coupled to and controlled by the control system. The electric thermal heater is coupled to and controlled by the control system. The control system is configured to activate the electric thermal heater to preheat the image assembly, such that the image assembly is warmed up to a cut-off temperature. Then, the control system is configured to switch off the electric thermal heater. Then the focal length of the image assembly is adjusted. A focal length adjusting method for the projector is further provided. The projector and the method may be used to avoid the thermal expansion of various elements, so as to avoid focal length shift.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Coretronic CorporationInventors: Te-Tang Chen, Chun-Lung Yen, Wen-Yen Chung, Tung-Chou Hu

Patent number: 11340519Abstract: A light source heat-dissipating device is disposed in a projection apparatus having a casing with an air inlet. The light source heat-dissipating device has a heat-dissipating fin assembly disposed in the casing and having an air intake side, and first and second heat-dissipating fin assemblies, a first air duct, and a fan adjacent to the first and second heat-dissipating fin assemblies. The second heat-dissipating fin assembly is stacked on the first one. The first heat-dissipating fin assembly is between the second one and the air inlet. The first air duct is adjacently-disposed at the air intake side, has a first entrance end connected with the air inlet and a first exit end opposite to the first entrance. The light source heat-dissipating device and projection apparatus improve temperature and life consistency between light source modules. The heat dissipation performances of the first and second heat-dissipating fin assemblies tend to be consistent.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Coretronic CorporationInventors: Chun-Lung Yen, Te-Tang Chen, Wen-Jui Huang, Tsung-Ching Lin

Patent number: 11044828Abstract: A projector includes a fan, a fan frame, a first casing, a second casing and a projection lens. The fan is sleeved in the fan frame, wherein the fan frame comprises a first fixing portion having a first through hole, and two slits located at two opposite sides of the first fixing portion, an extension direction of the two slits is parallel to an extension direction of the first through hole, and a length of each of the two slits is greater than a depth of the first through hole. The first casing is fixed to the fan frame, wherein a first screw passes through the first through hole and is fixed to the first casing. The second casing is fixed to the first casing. The projection lens is fixed to the second casing.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Coretronic CorporationInventor: Chun-Lung Yen
