How to: Laser Projector inside a Lighter如何:激光投影在一個打火機

The following is a post by Rog8811, our 以下是由Rog8811後,我們的 lasers 激光器 expert. As a designer and engineer I am always looking for ways of converting everyday items into cool gadgets. 專家。作為一個設計師和工程師,我一直在尋找方法,轉化為日常用品到涼爽的小工具。 This iconic lighter, known around the world, is the Zippo flip-top lighter.這標誌性的打火機,為世人所知,是打火機翻蓋打火機。 Having already turned a flip-top ligher into a在已經翻開了翻蓋ligher成 blu-ray laser藍光激光器 lighter I decided that I would see just how much more could be done with one.打火機我決定,我會看到更多的到底有多少可以做一個。

This time round I wanted a laser spirograph projector .這一次我想一圓激光spirograph投影機。 What follows is a tutorial that will show the major parts that are needed.下面是一個教程,將顯示的主要部件,是必要的。 All fliptop lighters are slightly different in size and shape you need to adjust sizes and positions to suit your host. I started off by getting a host lighter engraved.所有fliptop打火機略有不同大小和形狀您需要調整大小和位置,以滿足您的host.Â我開始越來越主機輕刻。

Then followed a number of drawings to see what the options might be.隨之而來的aÂnumber圖紙,看看可能的選項。 There are a lot of parts to get in so everything needs to be as small as possible (obviously)有很多的部分都得到這樣必須盡可能的小(明顯)

繪圖

The only way I could be sure to get everything lined up was to do away with the inner slide and replace it with a machined out block of plastic with all the parts fitted.我唯一可以肯定地得到一切排隊是為了破除內部幻燈片和取代它的機加工出來的塑料塊的所有部件裝配。 To get this as large as possible the plate in the lid that operates the lid closing catch needs to be removed, to do this drill a couple of holes through it then break it off with a pair of pliers.要獲得此盡可能大板塊的蓋子,經營封罐漁獲需要刪除,這樣做的一對夫婦鑽洞,然後通過它打破它關閉了對鉗子。 Remove the rough edges with a small grinding burr in a dremil drill.刪除theÂrough edgesÂwith一個小磨毛刺在dremil演練。

插入

Here are the basic dimensions for the block but, as previously stated, adjust to suit your host.以下是基本尺寸的塊,但如前所述,調整以滿足你的主機。

塊尺寸

The那個 green laser module綠光激光器模塊 was stripped out of a keyring pointer that ate batteries within seconds, so it was no loss.被剝奪了一個鑰匙圈電池指針,吃幾秒鐘內,所以沒有損失。 This would be heavily modified to fit as it is 12mm diameter and too long with the drive circuit attached.這將是重大的修改,以適應,因為它是12毫米直徑過長與驅動電路連接。 (there are smaller green modules available that will fit more easily but I had this one to hand). (有小綠的模塊可用,適合更容易,但我有這樣一個手)。 I turned this one to 10mm diameter….我把這個一個直徑10mm ...。 the thread that holds it together is 10mm diameter and consequently I had to glue the 2 halves together with superglue wheh it fell apart, it may be better to drill out the hole it fits into to 11mm diameter and turn down the module to suit.線程是一起擁有直徑10mm,因此我不得不膠2半連同強力膠wheh解體,可以更好地鑽出來的洞,它安裝到直徑為11毫米和拒絕的模塊來滿足。

模塊

For a spirograph pattern to be produced a minimum of 2 rotating mirrors are required.對於spirograph模式產生的最低2旋轉鏡子是必需的。 These were cut from an acylic mirror tile, it is important to get the hole dead centre, to do this I drilled a 0.5mm hole into a piece of 7mm diameter brass, stuck the back of the acrylic to this and turned to size in a lathe, (once stuck to a mandrel you can carve the mirror to size with a craft knife).這些被切斷從丙烯酸鏡子瓦,重要的是讓死者中心孔,這樣做我鑽0.5mm的洞到一塊直徑7mm的黃銅,堅持後面的丙烯酸這種做法,轉向在規模車床,(一旦堅持一芯棒可以雕刻鏡子的大小與工藝刀)。 Then use a pin chuck to drill into the acrylic from the back.然後用針鑽夾頭到丙烯酸從後面。

鏡心軸

mirros

The mirrors are driven by vibro該鏡子驅動振動 motors馬達 from mobile phones.移動電話。 The ones used were 5mm diameter once the rubber cover was removed.所用的那些直徑5mm的橡膠蓋一旦被刪除。

馬達

The motors and mirrors were mounted in brass shrouds to protect them from damage.馬達和反射鏡是安裝在銅罩,以保護他們免受傷害。 The motors are held in lpace with a dab of superglue.該發動機被關押在lpace與民建聯強力膠。
The mirror must be stuck on at a very slight angle so that when a laser is reflected from the spinning mirror the beam describes a small circle.鏡子必須停留在一個非常小的角度,以便當激光反射鏡旋轉光束描述了一個小圈子。

The laser and the激光與 motor馬達 assemblies were pressed into holes machined into the plastic block, all three parts were wired up to check the output beam, to get good patterns you may have to reverse the direction of one of the motors.組合後,壓入孔加工成塑料塊,這三個部分是有線,以檢查輸出光束,獲得良好的模式,你可能必須扭轉方向之一電機。

零件裝配

A Battery housing with positive and negative contacts was machined to house a阿電池房屋正面和負面的接觸是加工的房子 rechargable 3.6v battery 3.6V的充電電池 then wiring was started.然後接線啟動。

電池匣

The driver for the laser and the switch were located with super glue and wired.該驅動程序的激光和開關所在超glueÂand有線。 If only people spent more time making cool gadgets like these instead of playing online games or spending money in an只要人們花費更多的時間使酷工具,而不是像這樣玩在線遊戲,或在花錢 online casino網上賭場 , we would have much more to offer. ,我們將有更多提供。 The lighter projector is great example of what can be done when you put your time and mind to it.投影較輕很好的例子可以做些什麼時,你把你的時間和精神給它。

佈線

The other battery contact and laser module wired.其他電池的接觸和激光模塊有線。 (it is important to remember that green laser modules are positive ground) I soldered the battery contact to the module to stiffen it up, this connects the positive directly to the module which is no bad thing. (重要的是要記住,綠色激光模塊是積極地)我接觸的電池焊接到模塊的僵硬起來,這是積極的,直接連接到模塊這也不是壞事。

有線模塊

This is what the finished item looks like.這就是完成項目的模樣。 The piece of metal on the top is a magnet from the lens focus assembly of a PS3 sled, it takes the place of the lid closing catch that disapeared with the inner slide of the lighter.金屬件的頂部是一個magnetÂfrom鏡頭的焦點assemblyÂof PS3的雪橇,它需要的地方的封罐趕上這disapeared與內部幻燈片的打火機。

完成

This is what it does….這是它...。 (my camera is not fast enough to capture the patterns produced by the projector). (我的相機是不夠快捕獲模式製作的投影機)。

A longer view gives a slightly better idea of the output.較長的觀點給出了略好主意的輸出。

I imagine that if you varied the speed of one of the motors it would create different patterns.我想,如果你不同的速度,其中一個電動機會產生不同的圖案。 Perhaps you could make the position of the lighter cap control a variable resistor to do that.也許你可以做的立場較輕的上限控制可變電阻這樣做。
