Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, the speckle dispersing mechanism provided by the present invention will now be described. The speckle dissipation mechanism comprises a cantilever seat 1 and anoptical piece 3, wherein the cantilever seat 1 elastically supports theoptical piece 3. The cantilever base 1 is provided with amagnetic attraction piece 14, the speckle eliminating mechanism further comprises an electromagnetic driving piece 2 and a controller (not shown), the electromagnetic driving piece 2 and themagnetic attraction piece 14 are matched to drive theoptical piece 3 to vibrate, and the controller is used for controlling the electromagnetic driving piece 2. Through controller control electromagnetic driving piece 2, when the voltage change of controller input to electromagnetic driving piece 2, the electric current in the electromagnetic driving piece changes thereupon, and the magnetic field intensity that electromagnetic driving piece 2 produced changes thereupon, and electromagnetic driving piece 2 changes thereupon to the magnetic force ofmagnetism piece 14, and the effort (including magnetic force and elasticity etc.) that cantilever seat 1 received constantly changes, leads to the elastic deformation displacement constantly change of cantilever seat 1 for the lastoptical member 3 vibration of cantilever seat 1. When theoptical element 3 vibrates, the optical path is changed by theoptical element 3, and the phase of the continuous laser beam passing through theoptical element 3 is changed, so that the laser speckle phenomenon caused by high coherence of the laser is eliminated. The suspension arm seat 1 is driven by the electromagnetic driving piece 2 to drive theoptical piece 3 to vibrate, and the vibration of theoptical piece 3 is controlled through the change of magnetic force, so that the structure of the controller is simplified and reduced, the control precision of the vibration of theoptical piece 3 is improved, and the occupied space of the controller is reduced; and the electromagnetic driving part 2 and the controller have simple structures, and the cost can be reduced.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the electromagnetic driving component 2 is an electromagnetic chuck, and specifically, the electromagnetic chuck includes a magnetic core and a coil, the coil is sleeved on the magnetic core, when a voltage input to the electromagnetic chuck by the controller changes, a current in the coil changes with the voltage, the current in the coil magnetizes the magnetic core, and a change in the current in the coil changes a magnetic field intensity generated by the magnetic core, so that a magnetic force of the magnetic core on themagnetic attraction component 14 changes continuously. The electromagnetic chuck can increase the area of the generated magnetic field, the magnetic core can enhance the magnetic field intensity generated by the coil, and the magnetic force of the electromagnetic chuck on themagnetic suction piece 14 is enhanced. Here, it can be understood that: the electromagnetic chuck enables the controller to form a channel, the current I in the electromagnetic chuck is equal to U/R, and the power W for the electromagnetic chuck to drive theoptical element 3 to vibrate is equal to U × I (where U denotes the voltage input by the controller to the coil, R denotes the resistance of the coil, and the coil resistance R is usually small); for the piezoelectric ceramics, the similarity to capacitance (resistance is extremely large) is equivalent to the circuit breaking of the controller; in order to generate the same vibration effect for theoptical element 3, when the same output power is generated by the electromagnetic chuck and the piezoelectric ceramic, respectively, the voltage applied to the piezoelectric ceramic is much larger than the voltage applied to the coil. The power supply arranged in the laser projection device has relatively low voltage, cannot meet the input voltage requirement of piezoelectric ceramics, but can meet the input voltage requirement of the electromagnetic chuck. Therefore, the voltage of each electronic element in the internal circuit of the controller in the embodiment of the invention is lower, which is beneficial to reducing the size of each electronic element; meanwhile, an electronic element for boosting the input voltage of the controller power supply is not needed, and the controller of the electromagnetic chuck is facilitated to be simplified and reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, electromagnets or the like of other configurations may be employed.
Alternatively, the magneticallyattractive element 14 may be a magnet; alternatively, themagnetic element 14 is a non-magnetic element that can be attracted by a magnet, such as an alloy of iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. When the electromagnetic chuck generates a magnetic field, the electromagnetic chuck can generate a magnetic force on themagnetic attraction piece 14, and when the magnetic force changes, the elastic deformation position of the cantilever base 1 changes, resulting in the change of the position of theoptical piece 3.
In one embodiment, the controller controls the voltage inputted to the electromagnetic chuck to periodically change, so that the magnetic force of the electromagnetic chuck on themagnetic attraction member 14 periodically changes. Therefore, when the voltage input by the electromagnetic chuck changes periodically, the current and the magnetic field of the electromagnetic chuck can generate the same change period, and the magnetic force and the elastic force drive theoptical element 3 to vibrate periodically. Specifically, the controller may input an alternating current to the electromagnetic chuck, such as a sinusoidal alternating current, a sawtooth wave alternating current, a rectangular wave alternating current, and the like.
Optionally, the controller may include a voltage control unit for adjusting the voltage of the electromagnetic chuck and a frequency conversion unit for adjusting the frequency of the voltage variation, so that the magnetic field strength of the electromagnetic chuck can be adjusted, and the frequency of the magnetic field variation of the electromagnetic chuck can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the amplitude and frequency of themagnetic attraction member 14.

Optionally, the supportingseat 11 is a rigid member, which can ensure the stability of the fixing position of theelastic arm 12, reduce the change of the position of theelastic arm 12 along the length direction, and reduce the vibration amplitude of theoptical element 3 along the length direction of theelastic arm 12; meanwhile, the position change of the supportingseat 11 along the light propagation direction can be reduced, and theelastic arm 12 is prevented from swinging back and forth. Alternatively, thesupport 11 and theelastic arm 12 are made of different materials, so as to attenuate resonance and avoid the influence of vibration of thebracket 13 and theoptical element 3 on the external fixing position.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the supportingseat 11 is a rod, and theelastic arm 12 is disposed perpendicular to the length direction of the supportingseat 11, so as to reduce the swing amplitude of the supportingseat 11 when theelastic arm 12 vibrates.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, themagnetic element 14 is connected to a side of thebracket 13 away from the supportingbase 11.

On one hand, themagnetic attraction plate 143 can keep a certain distance from theoptical element 3, so that labor is saved when theoptical element 3 is driven to vibrate, the power of the electromagnetic driving element 2 is reduced, and the sensitivity of the electromagnetic driving element 2 is improved; on the other hand, the rigidity between themagnetic attraction piece 14 and thebracket 13 can be maintained, so that the vibration amplitude and the frequency of theoptical piece 3 can be adjusted conveniently.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, optionally, themagnetic attraction plate 143 is disposed opposite to the electromagnetic driving element 2, and themagnetic attraction plate 143 is opposite to the electromagnetic chuck, so that the acting force of the electromagnetic driving element 2 on themagnetic attraction element 14 is perpendicular to theelastic arm 12, and theelastic arm 12, thebracket 13, and themagnetic attraction element 14 can vibrate in the same plane.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the electromagnetic driving element 2 is mounted on a side of thebracket 13 away from theelastic arm 12, that is: themagnetic attraction 14 is located between theresilient arm 12 and the electromagnetic drive element 2. Therefore, the space on the lower side of thebracket 13 can be fully utilized to install the electromagnetic driving part 2, so that the spot dissipation mechanism is more compact in structure and smaller in size.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, a gap between themagnetic attraction plate 143 and the electromagnetic driving element 2 is smaller than a distance between an end of thebracket 13 away from theelastic arm 12 and a mounting surface where an end of the electromagnetic driving element 2 away from theelastic arm 12 is located, when theoptical element 3 swings downward, theelastic arm 12 deforms into an arc shape with an upward-bent middle portion, so as to prevent theoptical element 3 from moving downward; after theoptical element 3 continues to move downward until themagnetic attraction plate 143 contacts the electromagnetic driving element 2, the electromagnetic driving element 2 blocks themagnetic attraction element 14, so that theoptical element 3 stops moving downward, and the portion of theelastic arm 12 adjacent to thebracket 13 bends downward. Therefore, the phenomenon that theoptical part 3 is damaged or theelastic arm 12 deforms due to the fact that thebracket 13 vibrates and collides with the mounting surface in the transportation process of the spot dissipation mechanism can be avoided.

When the electromagnetic driving element 2 drives theoptical element 3 to vibrate, theelastic arm 12 and themagnetic attraction element 14 connected to thebracket 13 exert acting forces on theoptical element 3, and the two acting forces and theoptical element 3 are located in the same plane, so that theoptical element 3 is constrained in the same plane in the vibration process, and theoptical element 3 is prevented from being twisted in the light incidence or emission direction in the vibration process of theoptical element 3. The electromagnetic driving part 2 is completely separated from theoptical part 3, themagnetic attraction part 14 is rigidly connected with theoptical part 3, the electromagnetic driving part 2 can better control the vibration amplitude and frequency of theoptical part 3 to the acting force of theoptical part 3, and the interference generated by the vibration of theelastic arm 12, theoptical part 3 and the like when theelastic arm 12 vibrates at high frequency is avoided.

The leaf spring has good elasticity, and is not easy to swing towards the front and back directions of theoptical piece 3, so that theoptical piece 3 can vibrate in a vertical plane. Optionally, the leaf spring is made of silicon steel 60Si2Mn (silicon manganese spring steel), and the material can ensure the elasticity of theelastic arm 12 on one hand, and on the other hand, the fatigue resistance is good, so that the leaf spring can be prevented from being broken under high-frequency vibration and has a long service life.

Therefore, the contact area between the supportingseat 11 and the external installation position can be increased, the stability of the supportingseat 11 is kept, the vibration of the supportingseat 11 when theelastic arm 12 vibrates is reduced, and theoptical element 3 is prevented from being inclined to cause light ray shake.

Optionally, theframe 131 is made of a non-magnetic material, such as a material that cannot be attracted by a magnet, such as a hard silica gel, a plastic, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, etc., so as to prevent the magnetism of themagnetic attraction plate 143 from being transmitted to thebracket 13 or theelastic arm 12, and prevent thebracket 13 or theelastic arm 12 from generating magnetism and generating an interaction with other components or external objects, which may interfere with the movement of theoptical element 3.
In one embodiment, theoptical member 3 has an entrance face and an exit face, at least one of which of the entrance face and the exit face of theoptical member 3 is an irregularly undulating surface, namely: theoptical member 3 is a diffusion sheet, and at least one of the incident surface and the exit surface has a structure similar to a ground glass surface and has a certain roughness. Therefore, the light can penetrate through, and random phase change of the light can be caused when the light penetrates through. The irregular fluctuation of the surface of theoptical element 3 can cause the phase of the light beam passing through theoptical element 3 to be changed randomly, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the laser speckle. Optionally, the thickness of theoptical element 3 is greater than four times of the peak-to-valley value of the irregular fluctuation on theoptical element 3, and the thickness of theoptical element 3 is not more than forty times of the peak-to-valley value of the irregular fluctuation on theoptical element 3, so that the processing of the surface of theoptical element 3 can be facilitated on the one hand, and on the other hand, the structural strength of theoptical element 3 can be guaranteed, and theoptical element 3 is prevented from being damaged.

The small irregularities cause a large beam spread angle and thus a large beam divergence, and therefore the irregularities are inversely related to and have a correspondence with the beam spread angle of the diffusion sheet. Namely: the beam spread angle is determined by the size of the irregular undulations in the longitudinal and transverse directions on theoptical member 3, and the beam spread angle can be optimized by controlling the size of the irregular undulations, so that the beam spread angle meets the requirements. Therefore, on one hand, the speckle suppression effect can be prevented from being influenced by the undersize angle of the beam spread angle, and on the other hand, the light emitting effect can be prevented from being influenced by the light energy loss caused by the overlarge angle of the beam spread angle.

Optionally, theoptical piece 3 has a thickness of 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, or the like.
Optionally, one of the incident surface and the exit surface of theoptical element 3 is irregular, and the other surface is a plane, so that on one hand, the effect of eliminating speckles can be achieved, and on the other hand, the weakened intensity of light passing through theoptical element 3 can be reduced, and the exit intensity of the light can be improved.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a laser projection device which comprises a laser source and the spot dissipation mechanism, wherein laser emitted by the laser source is emitted out through theoptical piece 3. When the cantilever base 1 vibrates elastically, theoptical element 3 can be driven to vibrate along with the cantilever base, at the moment, theoptical element 3 enables the light path to change, the phase of continuous laser beams penetrating through theoptical element 3 can generate random irregular change, and the laser speckle phenomenon caused by high coherence of the laser is eliminated.
