Abstract

A light source module adapted to a projecting device including a light bulb, a fan, and an air tunnel structure is provided. The fan is located by the light bulb for cooling the light bulb. The air tunnel structure is located respective to the location of the light bulb, for removing the heat generated by the light bulb. The air tunnel structure has a curved inner wall, a plurality of fins, and a tank. The curved inner wall is located inside the air tunnel structure respective to the location of the light bulb. The fins are formed on the curved inner wall for blocking the fragments generated by the explosion of the light bulb. The tank is located by a side of the curved inner wall for carrying the fragments clashing the fins.

Claims (23)

1. A light source module, adapted to a projecting device, comprising:

a light bulb;

a fan, located by the light bulb for cooling the light bulb; and

an air tunnel structure, respective to the location of the light bulb, for removing the heat generated by the light bulb, the air tunnel structure comprising:

a curved inner wall, located inside the air tunnel structure and corresponding to the location of the light bulb;

a plurality of fins, formed on the curved inner wall for blocking fragments generated by the explosion of the light bulb; and

at least one tank, located by a side of the curved inner wall for carrying the fragments clashing the fins.

2. The light source module of claim 1 , wherein a front edge of the curved inner wall is connected to a side edge of an inlet of the air tunnel structure.

3. The light source module of claim 1 , wherein the fins are substantially vertical to an air route in the air tunnel structure.

4. The light source module of claim 1 , wherein the fins are arranged side by side on a surface of the curved inner wall.

5. The light source module of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tank are two tanks, disposed by two opposite sides of the curved inner wall respectively.

6. The light source module of claim 5 , wherein each of the tanks has an opening on a side thereof facing the light bulb.

7. The light source module of claim 1 , wherein the air tunnel structure shows a rectangular-pipe structure.

8. An air tunnel structure, capable of removing heat generated by a light bulb of a projecting device, comprising:

a curved inner wall, located inside an air tunnel structure respective to the location of the light bulb;

a plurality of fins, formed on the curved inner wall for blocking fragments generated by the explosion of the light bulb; and

at least one tank, located by a side of the curved inner wall for carrying the fragments clashing the fins.

9. The air tunnel structure of claim 8 , wherein a front edge of the curved inner wall is connected to a side edge of an inlet of the air tunnel structure.

10. The air tunnel structure of claim 8 , wherein the fins are substantially vertical to an air route in the air tunnel structure.

11. The air tunnel structure of claim 8 , wherein the fins are arranged side by side on a surface of the curved inner wall.

12. The air tunnel structure of claim 8 , wherein the at least one tank are two tanks, disposed by two opposite sides of the curved inner wall respectively.

13. The air tunnel structure of claim 12 , wherein each of the tanks has an opening on a side thereof facing the light bulb.

14. The air tunnel structure of claim 8 , wherein the air tunnel structure shows a rectangular-pipe structure.
