Abstract

A light shading device having curved guidance includes a light passing hole for light beams passing therethrough and at least one pair of shading blades arranged opposite one another. Each pair of shading blades respectively have a shading edge for shading light beams at a side close to each other, while the two ends of the side away from each other are respectively connected with a double-link arm which includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod pivoting each other, the other end of the first connecting rod is connected to the corresponding shading blade, and the other end of the second connecting rod is connected to a driving element. A guide element is further provided for limiting a guide point on each shading blade to move along a curved path on the plane where the corresponding shading blade is located.

2 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the curved path (C) is in form of a circular arc.

3 . The light shading device according to claim 2 , wherein a center (O) of the curved path (C) and a center (P 0 ) of the light passing hole ( 110 ) are respectively arranged two sides of the curved path (C).

4 . The light shading device according to claim 2 , wherein the guide element is in form of a guide rod ( 510 ) with one end thereof connected to the guide point ( 220 ) and the other end thereof fixedly pivoted.

5 . The light shading device according to claim 4 , wherein a length of the second connecting rod ( 320 ) is less than a distant between the driving shaft ( 410 ) of the driving element ( 400 ) and the center (O) of the curved path (C).

6 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the guide point ( 220 ) is a connecting point of the shading bade ( 200 ) with the first connecting rod ( 310 ) of the corresponding shading blade ( 200 ).

7 . The light shading device according to claim 2 , wherein a chord length (L) of the curved path (C) in an arrangement direction (A) of the corresponding pair of shading blades ( 200 ) is more than a diameter of the light passing hole ( 110 ).

8 . The light shading device according to claim 2 , wherein a radius (R) of the curved path (C) is more than half of the largest distance between proximal and distal ends of the double-link arm ( 300 ).

9 . The light shading device according to claim 2 , wherein a chord height (H) of the curved path (C) in a direction (B) perpendicular to an arrangement direction (A) of the corresponding pair of shading blades ( 200 ) is less than 1 centimeter.

10 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the second connecting rod ( 320 ) is more than half of a diameter of the light passing hole ( 110 ) and less than a diameter of the light passing hole ( 110 ).

11 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein when the guide point ( 220 ) lies in a middle (M) of the curved path (C) during moving along the curved path (C), the corresponding shading blade 200 is deviated farthest away from the light passing hole ( 110 ) in a direction (B) perpendicular to an arrangement direction (A) of the corresponding pair of shading blades ( 200 ).

12 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting rod ( 310 ) is provided with a curved avoidance portion ( 311 ) to avoid a driving shaft ( 410 ) of the driving element ( 400 ).

13 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the connecting points ( 230 ) of the corresponding first connecting rod ( 310 ) respectively pivoted to two ends of the side away from each other of each pair of shading blades is more than or equal to √{square root over (2)} times a diameter of the light passing hole ( 110 ) and less than or equal to 2 time a diameter of the light passing hole ( 110 ).

14 . The light shading device according to claim 1 , further comprising a separator plate ( 600 ), which is configured to limit motion of each shading blade ( 200 ) in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the corresponding shading blade ( 200 ) is located, wherein the separator plate ( 600 ) is provided with a hollow portion ( 610 ) for the light beams passing therethrough, and a lateral side of the corresponding shading blade ( 200 ) adjacent to the shading edge ( 210 ) thereof is always located outside the hollow portion ( 610 ).
