Particularly, the abutting members 52 are threaded on the surface of the hole 53, and the rods 51 are also threaded corresponding thereto for secure connection.
    • Fourth Embodiment
  • Referring to FIG. 8, the color wheel has a motor 4 and a color filter assembly including a first carrier 31, a second carrier 41, a securing member 50 and a color filter 32 comprising four filter segments 32 a, 32 b, 32 c and 32 d symmetrically surrounding the central axis 30 and forming an opening 320 at the center of the color filter 32. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the first carrier 31 has a plurality of first holes 70, and the second carrier 41 has a plurality of corresponding second holes 60. The securing member 50 comprises a plurality of threaded rods 51 with integrally formed abutting members 52. As shown in FIG. 9, the rods 51 pass through the second holes 60, the openings 321, and are inserted into the first holes 70 and sequentially tightened. The color filter 32 is thereby firmly secured between the first and second carriers 31, 41.
  • As shown in FIG. 8, the color wheel of the present invention further provides a circuit board 5 connected to the motor 4 for supplying driving power. The motor 4 rotates the first carrier 31, the second carrier 41 and the color filter 32 around the central axis 30.
  • In summary, the present invention provides a color wheel utilized for an optical device such as a DLP projector. The color filter 32 can be fixed to the first carrier 31 by inserting the protrusions 312 into the openings 321 according to FIG. 2. Furthermore, the first and second joining portions 310, 410 are connected such that the color filter 32 is further firmly secured between the first and second carriers 31, 41 thus preventing separation during rotation. As shown in FIG. 6, the aforementioned protrusions 312 can be represented by the rods 51 and the abutting members 52. The rods 51 are sequentially inserted through the second holes 60, the openings 321 and the first holes 70 such that the color filter 32 is firmly secured between the first and second carriers 31, 41. The present invention has simple structure capable of improving balance and stability of rotation.
