  • Patent number: 11966153
    Abstract: A wavelength conversion module includes a driving element, a wavelength conversion wheel, and at least one flow guide. The wavelength conversion wheel includes a rotary disc and at least one wavelength conversion layer. The driving element is connected to the rotary disc to drive the wavelength conversion wheel to rotate along an axis of the driving element as a central axis. The flow guide is disposed beside the wavelength conversion wheel at intervals along the axis, and at least one airflow channel is formed between the flow guide and the wavelength conversion wheel. The flow guide and the driving element are disposed at intervals, and the flow guide does not contact the rotary disc and the driving element. An orthographic projection of the flow guide on the rotary disc overlaps the wavelength conversion layer. When the wavelength conversion wheel rotates, the wavelength conversion wheel and the flow guide move relatively.
