Abstract

A bracket includes a bracket body and an imaging module. The imaging module includes a first light source, a first pattern plate, a second light source, a second pattern plate and an imaging screen. The first light source projects a first illumination light. The first pattern plate having a first transmissive pattern is located on an optical path of the first illumination light, such that the first illumination light passing through the first transmissive pattern becomes a first pattern light. The second light source projects a second illumination light. The second pattern plate having a second transmissive pattern is located on an optical path of the second illumination light, such that the second illumination light passing through the second transmissive pattern becomes a second pattern light. The imaging screen receives the projection of the first and second pattern light.

Claims (47)

1. A bracket, comprising:

a bracket body; and

an imaging module, which is disposed on the bracket body and comprises:

a first light source configured to project a first illumination light;

a first pattern plate, which has a first transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the first illumination light, such that the first illumination light passing through the first transmissive pattern becomes a first pattern light;

a second light source configured to project a second illumination light;

a second pattern plate, which has a second transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the second illumination light, such that the second illumination light passing through the second transmissive pattern becomes a second pattern light; and

an imaging screen configured to receive projection of the first pattern light and the second pattern light;

wherein the bracket further comprises:

a reflective element located on an optical path of the second pattern light and configured to reflect the second pattern light to the imaging screen;

wherein the first pattern plate faces the imaging screen, and the second pattern plate faces the reflective element.

2. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the optical path of the second pattern light from the second pattern plate to the imaging screen only passes through the reflective element.

3. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the optical path of the first pattern light from the first pattern plate to the imaging screen does not pass through any physical element.

4. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket body comprises a containing box in which the first light source, the first pattern plate, the second light source and the second pattern plate are disposed.

5. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective element is connected to the first pattern plate and the imaging screen.

6. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein a reflective surface of the reflective element and an imaging surface of the imaging screen are perpendicular to each other.

7. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective element comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion is connected to the first pattern plate, and the second connecting portion is connected to the imaging screen; an acute angle is formed between the reflective element and the second pattern plate, and the second connecting portion is far away from the second pattern plate than the first connecting portion.

8. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein the acute angle is in a range of 35° to 40°.

9. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern plate and the second pattern plate are perpendicular to each other.

10. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the projection of the first pattern light on the imaging screen overlaps projection of the second pattern light on the imaging screen.

11. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the light color of the first illumination light is different from that of the second illumination light.

12. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern is different from the second pattern.

13. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket body has a recess in which the imaging module is at least partly embedded, and the imaging screen is exposed from the bracket body.

14. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the angle between the imaging screen and a bottom surface of the bracket body is in a range of 45° and 55°.

15. An electronic device, comprises:

a main body; and

a bracket, connected to the main body and comprising:

a bracket body; and

an imaging module, which is disposed on the bracket body and comprises:

a first light source configured to project a first illumination light;

a first pattern plate, which has a first transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the first illumination light, such that the first illumination light passing through the first transmissive pattern becomes a first pattern light;

a second light source configured to project a second illumination light;

a second pattern plate, which has a second transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the second illumination light, such that the second illumination light passing through the second transmissive pattern becomes a second pattern light; and

an imaging screen configured to receive projection of the first pattern light and the second pattern light;

wherein the bracket further comprises:

a reflective element located on an optical path of the second pattern light and configured to reflect the second pattern light to the imaging screen;

wherein the first pattern plate faces the imaging screen, and the second pattern plate faces the reflective element.

16. A bracket, comprising:

a bracket body having a recess; and

an imaging module, which is at least partly embedded in the recess and comprises:

a first light source configured to project a first illumination light;

a first pattern plate, which has a first transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the first illumination light, such that the first illumination light passing through the first transmissive pattern becomes a first pattern light projected on a surface;

a second light source configured to project a second illumination light;

a second pattern plate, which has a second transmissive pattern and is located on an optical path of the second illumination light, such that the second illumination light passing through the second transmissive pattern becomes a second pattern light; and

a reflective element located on an optical path of the second pattern light and configured to reflect the second pattern light to the surface on which the second pattern light overlaps the first pattern light;

wherein the imaging module further comprises an imaging screen configured to receive projection of the first pattern light and projection of the second pattern light.

17. The bracket according to claim 16 , wherein the first pattern light and the second pattern light are projected on the surface located outside the bracket body.
