The guide roller is disposed at a position where the second end of the lifting mechanism is proximate to the rolling mechanism, and the guide roller is configured to press the optical curtain.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A projection screen, comprising:
a base; a rolling mechanism disposed on the base, and the rolling mechanism including a reel; a lifting mechanism, a first end of the lifting mechanism being fixedly connected to the base; an optical curtain, a first end of the optical curtain being fixedly connected to the rolling mechanism, and a second end of the optical curtain being fixedly connected to a second end of the lifting mechanism, the optical curtain including an optical film, a first end of the optical film being fixedly connected to the reel; and a guide roller disposed at a position where the second end of the lifting mechanism is proximate to the rolling mechanism, each end of the guide roller being connected to a side wall of the base, and the guide roller being configured to press the optical curtain; wherein the end of the guide roller is movably connected to the side wall of the base; the side wall of the base is provided with a guide groove, and the end of the guide 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 optical curtain proximate to or away from the lifting mechanism.

2 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the optical film includes:
a body portion; and a first connecting portion connected to the body portion; wherein the first end of the optical film is fixedly connected to the reel through the first connecting portion.

3 . The projection screen according to claim 2 , wherein the lifting mechanism includes:
a beam, a second end of the optical film being fixedly connected to the beam.

4 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the optical film further includes:
a second connecting portion connected to the body portion, the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion being arranged at an interval; wherein the second end of the optical film is fixedly connected to the beam through the second connecting portion.

5 . The projection screen according to claim 3 , wherein the guide roller is located between the beam and the reel.

6 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the optical curtain includes a first surface and a second surface, the second surface of the optical curtain being provided with at least one stiffener;
wherein a surface of the optical curtain away from the lifting mechanism is the first surface, and a surface of the optical curtain proximate to the lifting mechanism is the second surface.

7 . The projection screen according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one stiffener satisfies one of the following:
the at least one stiffener extends laterally along the optical curtain; and the at least one stiffener is constructed as a strengthening bar or strip extending laterally along the optical film.

8 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the guide roller further satisfies one of the following:
each end of the guide roller is provided with one fixing nut, the one fixing nut being arranged on the side wall of the base away from the side of the guide roller; or each end of the guide roller is provided with two fixing nuts, the two fixing nuts being arranged on both sides of the side wall of the guide roller.

9 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the guide roller includes two sub-guide rollers, the two sub-guide rollers being arranged at an interval, and a gap is formed between the two sub-guide rollers for the optical curtain to pass through, each end of either of the two sub-guide rollers being fixedly connected to the side wall of the base.

10 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the lifting mechanism includes:
a beam, a second end of the optical film being fixedly connected to the beam; and a first supporting rod and a second supporting rod, wherein 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.

11 . The projection screen according to claim 10 , 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.

12 . The projection screen according to claim 11 , further comprising two groups of lifting mechanisms, wherein the two groups of lifting mechanisms are arranged at each end of the rolling mechanism, and either of the two groups of lifting mechanisms expand the optical screen through two ends of a side of the optical curtain.

13 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , further satisfies at least one of the following:
the base further includes: a lubricating member disposed in the guide groove and fixedly connected to the guide roller, so as to reduce a friction between the guide roller and the guide groove; or the guide 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.

14 . The projection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the rolling mechanism includes:
a rolling motor fixedly connected to the base; the reel, an output shaft of the rolling motor being fixedly connected to an end of the reel; and a rolling controller electrically connected to the rolling motor to control a start and stop of the rolling motor.

15 . A projection apparatus, comprising:
the projection screen according to claim 1 configured to display a projection image; and an optical engine configured to emit light beams to the projection screen, and the optical engine being an ultra-short-focus optical engine.

16 . A projection apparatus, comprising:
