Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide a heat dissipation controlling method and an apparatus thereof for a laser projection equipment. The method includes: obtaining an ambient temperature and a compensating value of a rotating speed of a fan when a laser projection equipment is currently powered on; determining a first rotating speed value of the fan of the laser projection equipment according to the ambient temperature and first preset rotating speed information; and determining an initial rotating speed value of the fan for the current power on according to the first rotating speed value and the compensating value; taking the initial rotating speed value as a current rotating speed value; and controlling operation of the fan using the current rotating speed value to dissipate heat from the laser projection equipment. The embodiments of the present disclosure can enable promptly satisfying the demand for heat dissipation when the laser projection equipment is powered on.
