2 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein
the tensioning mechanism includes a tensioning assembly, a first end of the tensioning assembly is fixedly connected to the rolling mechanism, and a second end of the tensioning mechanism is fixedly connected to the second end of the lifting mechanism.

3 . The projection screen according to claim 2 , wherein
the tensioning mechanism further includes an auxiliary roller, each end of the auxiliary roller is connected to a side wall of the base, and the auxiliary roller is configured to press the tensioning assembly.

4 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the end of the auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the side wall of the base.

5 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the end of the auxiliary roller is movably connected to the side wall of the base.

6 . The projection screen according to claim 5 , wherein
the side wall of the base is provided with a guide groove, and the end of the auxiliary roller passes through the guide groove and is movable in a length direction of the guide groove; the length direction is a direction of the tensioning assembly proximate to or away from the optical curtain.

7 . The projection screen according to claim 6 , wherein the base further includes:
a lubricating member disposed in the guide groove and fixedly connected to the auxiliary roller, so as to reduce a friction between the auxiliary roller and the guide groove.

8 . The projection screen according to claim 6 , further comprising a control mechanism connected to the auxiliary roller, the control mechanism being configured to drive the auxiliary roller to move in the length direction of the guide groove;
wherein, the control mechanism includes:
a controlling motor fixedly connected to the base;
a transmission component connected to an output shaft of the controlling motor;
an adjustment nut, an end of the adjustment nut away from the auxiliary roller being threadedly connected to the transmission component, another end of the adjustment nut proximate to the auxiliary roller being fixedly connected to the auxiliary roll; and
an adjustment controller electrically connected to the controlling motor to control a start and stop of the controlling motor.

9 . The projection screen according to claim 8 , wherein the transmission component includes:
a first gear, the controlling motor being coaxially connected to the first gear, so as to drive the first gear to rotate; a second gear engaging with the first gear; and a lead screw, an end of the lead screw being connected to the second gear, and another end of the lead screw being threadly connected to the adjustment nut.

10 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary roller includes:
a central shaft, each end of the central shaft being connected to the side wall of the base; and a drum rotatably sleeved on an outside of the central shaft, and the drum pressing on the tensioning assembly.

11 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary roller further includes:
a first lubricating coating disposed on an outer surface of the auxiliary roller, so as to reduce a friction between the auxiliary roller and the tensioning assembly.

12 . The projection screen according to claim 2 , wherein the tensioning assembly includes at least one of a cloth or a rope.

13 . The projection screen according to claim 2 , wherein the rolling mechanism includes a first sub-rolling mechanism and a second sub-rolling mechanism;
the first end of the optical curtain is fixedly connected to the first sub-rolling mechanism; the first end of the tensioning assembly is fixedly connected to the second sub-rolling mechanism.

14 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the lifting mechanism includes:
a beam, the second end of the optical curtain being fixedly connected to the beam.

15 . The projection screen according to claim 14 , wherein
the lifting mechanism further includes a first supporting rod and a second supporting rod; a first end of the first supporting rod is rotatably connected to the base, a second end of the first supporting rod is rotatably connected to a first end of the second supporting rod, and a second end of the second supporting rod is rotatably connected to the beam.

16 . The projection screen according to claim 15 , wherein the lifting mechanism further includes:
a lifting motor, the lifting motor being fixed on the base, an output shaft of the lifting motor being connected to the first end of the first supporting rod; and a lifting controller electrically connected to the lifting motor to control a start and stop of the lifting motor.
