Wheel member
A wheel member including a wheel plate which transmits or reflects light and which is used in a rotating state, wherein the wheel plate has a center-of-gravity adjuster between flat surfaces of front and back surfaces of the wheel plate.
1. A wheel member comprising:
a diffusion plate; and
a wheel plate which has a rotation central hole and an opening, the rotation central hole being a hole into which a rotation shaft is inserted, and the opening being provided to open over a predetermined angle range with respect to the rotation central hole and housing the diffusion plate,
wherein an outer circumference shape of the wheel plate is formed to be an exact circle on a side opposite to a side where the opening is located with respect to the rotation central hole, and the outer circumference shape of the wheel plate is formed to be an oval on the side where the opening is located, and
wherein a region which is formed to be the oval in the wheel plate is formed as a center-of-gravity adjuster.
2. The wheel member according to claim 1 , wherein the center-of-gravity adjuster is located farther from a rotation center than another portion in an outer circumference of the wheel plate.
3. The wheel member according to claim 1 , wherein the wheel plate transmits or reflects light.
4. The wheel member according to claim 1 , wherein the wheel plate is used in a rotating state.
5. The wheel member according to claim 1 , wherein the center-of-gravity adjuster is provided as a part of a housing frame which forms the opening and houses the diffusion plate.
6. A projector comprising:
a diffusion plate;
a wheel plate which has a rotation central hole and an opening, the rotation central hole being a hole into which a rotation shaft is inserted, and the opening being provided to open over a predetermined angle range with respect to the rotation central hole and housing the diffusion plate; and
a light source which emits excitation light to be emitted to the wheel plate,
wherein an outer circumference shape of the wheel plate is formed to be an exact circle on a side opposite to a side where the opening is located with respect to the rotation central hole, and the outer circumference shape of the wheel plate is formed to be an oval on the side where the opening is located, and
wherein a region which is formed to be the oval in the wheel plate is formed as a center-of-gravity adjuster.
