Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart wearable device technology, and in particular to a smart pair of glasses. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most smart glasses on the market adopt a highly integrated, fixed structure. The functions and form are completely fixed after the product leaves the factory, making it impossible to reconcile the conflicting demands for lightweight wearability and rich functionality in different application scenarios. Specifically, when numerous functional components such as displays and cameras are built in, the overall weight becomes too large, causing severe pressure on users during prolonged wear. Conversely, sacrificing complex functional components in pursuit of lightweight design results in a lack of corresponding functional support in specific scenarios. Users often have to purchase multiple pairs of glasses with different forms to cope with different situations, leading to extremely high usage costs.

[0003] Current smart glasses use fixed, non-detachable connections between their components, preventing flexible changes in the overall form factor to suit different scenarios. Achieving component replaceability presents a significant physical challenge: components must be securely connected to prevent detachment and ensure stable electrical conduction; yet, they must be easily and effortlessly removed for user convenience. Traditional purely mechanical clips or magnetic closures cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of secure connection and easy disassembly within a confined space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to propose a smart glasses that aims to solve the contradiction between the existing smart glasses' inability to meet the needs of lightweight wear and rich functions in different scenarios, as well as the physical contradiction between the difficulty in achieving both secure component connections and easy disassembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the smart glasses proposed in this application include: The main body of the eyeglass frame is equipped with a control module; A functional module, which is detachably connected to the frame body; A connecting mechanism includes a first docking component and a second docking component, one of which is disposed on the frame body and the other is disposed on the functional module; the first docking component includes a locking member and an electrically controlled drive member, the locking member being movably disposed relative to the frame body or the functional module to have a locked position and an unlocked position; the second docking component includes a mating member; The connecting mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state; In the locked state, the locking member is located in the locked position and limits the mating member, so that the frame body and the functional module are mechanically fixed and electrically connected; In the unlocked state, the control module outputs an unlock signal to the electronically controlled drive component, which then drives the locking component to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby releasing the restriction on the mating component.

[0006] In one embodiment, the electrically controlled drive includes an electromagnetic drive; the first docking assembly includes a base and an elastic member, the base being disposed on the frame body or the functional module, the base having an insertion interface and a cavity communicating with the insertion interface; the locking member is movably disposed in the cavity to have a locked position and an unlocked position; the elastic member is disposed between the base and the locking member, and the elastic member is configured to apply a locking force toward the locking member toward the locked position; The electromagnetic drive component is located on the base and away from the insertion interface; In the locked state, the elastic member applies a locking force to the locking member, so that the locking member is in the locked position and limits the mating member; In the unlocked state, the electromagnetic drive generates a driving force to overcome the locking force of the elastic element, driving the locking element to move to the unlocked position.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the base is provided with a driving portion; the locking member includes a sleeve and at least one locking ball, the sleeve is movably disposed in the cavity, and the side wall of the sleeve is provided with a radially penetrating mounting hole; the locking ball is movably disposed in the mounting hole, and the outer side of the locking ball protrudes from the mounting hole and slides against the driving portion; when the sleeve moves relative to the base, the driving portion forces the locking ball to extend or retract radially into the mounting hole, so that the locking ball switches between the locked position and the unlocked position; the mating member is inserted into the sleeve via the insertion interface; In the locked state, the elastic element applies a locking force to the sleeve, and the driving part forces the locking ball to extend radially out of the mounting hole and engage with the mating part, so that the locking ball is in the locked position; In the unlocked state, the electromagnetic drive holds the sleeve on one side of the unlocked position, and the drive allows the locking ball to retract radially into the mounting hole and disengage from the mating member, so that the locking ball is in the unlocked position.

[0008] In one embodiment, the driving part is a spiral groove formed on the inner wall of the base, the spiral groove extending spirally along the axial direction of the base; the end of the spiral groove near the electromagnetic drive corresponds to the unlocking position, and the end away from the electromagnetic drive corresponds to the locking position; the depth of the spiral groove gradually decreases from the unlocking position to the locking position. The portion of the locking ball protruding from the mounting hole is embedded in the spiral groove; when the sleeve is driven to move axially by the electromagnetic drive, the locking ball slides along the spiral groove and forces the sleeve to rotate. As the sleeve rotates, the bottom wall of the spiral groove, which gradually becomes shallower, presses against the locking ball, thereby forcing the locking ball to extend or retract radially into the mounting hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mating component includes a mating plug, which is inserted into the sleeve via the insertion interface, and the outer wall of the mating plug is provided with an annular groove; in the locked position, the locking ball extends into the annular groove to engage the mating component.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first docking assembly further includes a conductive spring sheet disposed on the base; In the locked state, the conductive spring contacts and the mating member, thus establishing electrical connection.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second docking component further includes a grounding contact and an identification tag, and the control module includes a microcontroller and an identification reader, wherein the microcontroller is electrically connected to the conductive spring, and the identification reader is connected to the microcontroller; In the locked state, the conductive spring contacts the grounding contact and conducts electricity. The microcontroller detects the conduction signal, the control module supplies power to the functional module, and reads the identification tag through the identification reader to confirm the installation of the functional module. In the unlocked state, the conductive spring is disconnected from the grounding contact, the microcontroller detects a disconnection signal, the control module stops supplying power to the functional module and confirms that the functional module has been removed.

[0012] In one embodiment, the base includes a first housing and a second housing detachably connected to the first housing, the first housing and the second housing enclosing the cavity; In this case, at least one of the first housing and the second housing is a magnet.

[0013] In one embodiment, the control module is further configured to: An unlocking signal is output to the electronically controlled drive component to drive the locking component to move to the unlocking position and release the restriction on the mating component; After the locking member releases its restriction on the mating member, the unlocking signal is stopped after a preset delay to allow the locking member to return to the locked position.

[0014] In one embodiment, the functional module includes at least one of a lens module, a temple module, a nose pad module, and a front-mounted module.

[0015] The smart glasses provided in this application, by employing detachable functional modules and a connection mechanism including an electronically controlled drive and a locking component, can resolve the conflicting needs of existing smart glasses in balancing lightweight wearability with rich functionality in different scenarios, as well as the physical contradiction between secure component connection and easy disassembly. Specifically, when the user is in an application scenario requiring rich functionality, the functional module is connected to the frame body. At this time, the connection mechanism is in a locked state, the locking component of the first docking component is in the locked position and limits the mating component of the second docking component, keeping the frame body and the functional module mechanically fixed and electrically connected. When the user is in a scenario requiring lightweight wear or needs to replace the module, the control module on the frame body outputs an unlock signal to the electronically controlled drive of the first docking component. After receiving the signal, the electronically controlled drive drives the locking component to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, releasing the limitation on the mating component. The connection mechanism switches to the unlocked state, and the functional module can be easily disassembled. This design allows users to flexibly add, remove, or replace functional modules according to actual scenarios, balancing the conflicting needs of lightweight wear and rich functionality, and avoiding the high cost of purchasing multiple pairs of glasses. At the same time, in the locked state, the mechanical limit of the locking and mating parts ensures a firm connection and stable electrical conduction. In the unlocked state, the cooperation of the control module and the electronically controlled drive component enables automatic unlocking, making disassembly convenient and labor-saving. Thus, it combines the characteristics of firm connection and easy separation in a small space. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This application proposes a smart glasses 1000.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In one embodiment, the smart glasses 1000 includes: The frame body 100 is equipped with a control module; Functional module 200, which is detachably connected to the frame body 100; A connecting mechanism includes a first docking component 300 and a second docking component 400, one of which is disposed on the frame body 100, and the other is disposed on the functional module 200; the first docking component 300 includes a locking member 31 and an electrically controlled drive member 34, the locking member 31 being movably disposed relative to the frame body 100 or the functional module 200 to have a locked position and an unlocked position; the second docking component 400 includes a mating member 41. The connecting mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state; In the locked state, the locking member 31 is located in the locked position and limits the mating member 41, so that the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 are mechanically fixed and electrically connected; In the unlocked state, the control module outputs an unlock signal to the electronically controlled drive unit 34, and the electronically controlled drive unit 34 drives the locking member 31 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, so as to release the restriction on the mating member 41.

[0025] It should be noted that the smart glasses 1000 provided in this application are in the form of glasses for users to wear on their face. The materials of the smart glasses 1000 typically include lightweight metals such as titanium alloy or aluminum alloy, as well as polymers such as TR90 or nylon, to balance structural strength and ease of wear. They not only have the vision correction or sun protection functions of traditional glasses, but also integrate electronic components to achieve intelligent interaction.

[0026] The frame body 100 forms the basic supporting framework of the entire smart glasses 1000. Its shape is usually a hollow frame or semi-frame structure surrounding the lenses, and it can also extend to form the temples connecting the user's ears. The frame body 100 has a control module inside or on its surface. The control module serves as the computing and control center of the smart glasses 1000, and usually includes electronic components such as a microprocessor, memory, and power management unit packaged on a circuit board. Its material is silicon-based semiconductor and copper foil circuitry, and it is used to issue command signals to coordinate the collaborative work of various electronic components.

[0027] Functional module 200 is an independent component that implements specific extended functions. Its shape is typically a block or shell structure that fits the frame body 100, and the shell material can be plastic or lightweight metal. Internally, functional module 200 can integrate display optical engines, camera modules, audio modules, or sensors, depending on requirements. Functional module 200 is detachably connected to frame body 100, meaning that functional module 200 and frame body 100 are not integrally formed or permanently fixed, but rather physically connected and separated through an interface structure. This allows users to install or remove functional module 200 from frame body 100 at any time according to the needs of the usage scenario.

[0028] The connecting mechanism, serving as the interface between the frame body 100 and the functional module 200, is divided into a first mating component 300 and a second mating component 400 that cooperate with each other. These two parts are structurally separate but couple during mating, jointly fulfilling the dual functions of mechanical fixation and electrical conduction. The first mating component 300 and the second mating component 400 are arranged in a distributed manner, with one located on the frame body 100 and the other correspondingly located on the functional module 200. In a specific structural configuration, the first mating component 300 can be located at the end or surface of the frame body 100, and the second mating component 400 can be located on the mating surface of the functional module 200; or vice versa. This separation ensures that when the functional module 200 approaches the frame body 100, the mating components of both can precisely meet and engage.

[0029] The first docking assembly 300 further includes a locking element 31 and an electrically controlled drive element 34. The locking element 31 is typically a solid structural component made of metal or hard plastic, such as a hook, locking pin, or slider, and is used to provide mechanical limiting force. The electrically controlled drive element 34 is an actuator capable of converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. Its material typically includes electromagnetic coils, permanent magnets, piezoelectric ceramics, or shape memory alloys. When energized, the electrically controlled drive element 34 generates pushing or pulling forces or rotational torque, providing the power source for the movement of the locking element 31. The locking element 31 is not statically fixed but is movable relative to the frame body 100 or functional module 200 it supports. This movement can be sliding along a straight line, rotating about an axis, or translating along a normal direction. Through this movement, the locking element 31 has two specific working positions: a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking element 31 protrudes from or engages with the docking surface; in the unlocked position, the locking element 31 retracts or disengages from the docking surface.

[0030] The second docking assembly 400 includes a mating part 41, which is a structural component that matches the locking part 31. The mating part 41 is also made of metal or hard plastic and its shape is manifested as a slot, pin hole, hook, or baffle. When the functional module 200 docks with the frame body 100, the mating part 41 and the locking part 31 are spatially aligned so that the locking part 31 can limit its movement.

[0031] Based on the above structure, the connecting mechanism has two distinct working states: a locked state and an unlocked state. The switching between these two states determines whether the functional module 200 and the frame body 100 remain connected or are allowed to separate.

[0032] In the locked state, the locking member 31 is in the locked position. At this time, the locking member 31 and the mating member 41 physically interfere with each other, for example, the locking pin inserts into the pin hole or the hook catches the slot, thereby limiting the mating member 41 and preventing it from detaching from the first docking assembly 300. This mechanical limiting ensures that the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 are firmly mechanically fixed together, preventing them from falling off. At the same time, during the limiting engagement of the locking member 31 and the mating member 41, the conductive contacts or conductive springs arranged on or around their surfaces press against each other, thereby conducting the circuit and establishing a stable electrical connection between the control module of the frame body 100 and the functional module 200, realizing the transmission of data and electrical energy.

[0033] In the unlocked state, the control module outputs an unlock signal to the electronically controlled drive unit 34. This unlock signal can be triggered by either a human-machine interface signal or a physical button signal. The human-machine interface signal can be a voice control signal. In this case, the frame body 100 is equipped with a microphone assembly, typically composed of a miniature electret diaphragm or a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) chip, used to collect specific voice commands from the user and convert them into electrical signals. The voice recognition unit in the control module then parses this electrical signal to generate the unlock signal. Alternatively, the human-machine interface signal can be an application output signal from a smart terminal. In this case, the control module integrates a Bluetooth or wireless fidelity communication module to establish a communication connection with the user's mobile phone or other smart terminal. When the user performs an operation on the application interface, the smart terminal issues a wireless control command, which the control module receives and generates the unlock signal. The physical button signal is triggered by a physical button located on the frame body 100. This physical button can be a mechanical press button using elastic silicone or a metal spring as a reset structure, or a capacitive touch button with a conductive sensing layer on its surface. The user presses or touches the button to change its state, generating an electrical signal. The control module recognizes this change in electrical level and generates the unlock signal.

[0034] Upon receiving the unlocking signal, the electronically controlled drive component 34 converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. For example, energizing the internal electromagnetic coil generates electromagnetic attraction to push and pull the armature, or driving a micro-rotary motor to drive the gear and rack structure, thereby applying mechanical driving force to the locking component 31, driving the locking component 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position. During this movement, the locking component 31 disengages from the physical interference with the mating component 41, for example, the locking pin is pulled out of the pin hole or the hook retracts from the slot, thus completely releasing the restriction on the mating component 41. At this time, the connecting mechanism switches to the unlocked state, and the functional module 200 is no longer mechanically constrained. The user only needs minimal force to remove it from the frame body 100, thus achieving both a secure connection and easy disassembly within a confined space.

[0035] The smart glasses 1000 provided in this application, by employing a detachable functional module 200 and a connection mechanism including an electronically controlled drive component 34 and a locking component 31, can solve the contradiction between the existing smart glasses 1000's inability to meet the needs of lightweight wearing and rich functions in different scenarios, as well as the physical contradiction between the difficulty in balancing the connection of components and the ease of disassembly. Specifically, when the user is in an application scenario requiring rich functionality, the functional module 200 is connected to the frame body 100. At this time, the connection mechanism is in a locked state, the locking member 31 of the first docking component 300 is in the locked position and limits the mating member 41 of the second docking component 400, so that the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 are mechanically fixed and electrically connected. When the user is in a scenario requiring lightweight wear or needs to replace the module, the control module on the frame body 100 outputs an unlocking signal to the electric control drive 34 of the first docking component 300. After receiving the signal, the electric control drive 34 drives the locking member 31 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, releasing the limitation on the mating member 41. The connection mechanism switches to the unlocked state, and the functional module 200 can be easily disassembled. This design allows users to flexibly add, remove, or replace the functional module 200 according to actual scenarios, balancing the conflicting needs of lightweight wear and rich functionality, and avoiding the high cost of purchasing multiple pairs of glasses. At the same time, in the locked state, the mechanical limit of the locking part 31 and the mating part 41 ensures a firm connection and stable electrical conduction. In the unlocked state, the cooperation of the control module and the electronically controlled drive part 34 enables automatic unlocking, making disassembly convenient and labor-saving. Thus, it combines the characteristics of firm connection and convenient separation in a small space.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the electrically controlled drive unit 34 includes an electromagnetic drive unit; the first docking assembly 300 includes a base 32 and an elastic member 33, the base 32 is disposed on the frame body 100 or the functional module 200, the base 32 is provided with an insertion interface 323 and a cavity 324 communicating with the insertion interface 323; the locking member 31 is movably disposed in the cavity 324 to have a locked position and an unlocked position; the elastic member 33 is disposed between the base 32 and the locking member 31, and the elastic member 33 is configured to apply a locking force to the locking member 31 toward the locked position; The electromagnetic drive component is disposed on the base 32 and is located away from the insertion interface 323; In the locked state, the elastic member 33 applies a locking force to the locking member 31 so that the locking member 31 is in the locked position and limits the mating member 41; In the unlocked state, the electromagnetic drive generates a driving force to overcome the locking force of the elastic member 33, driving the locking member 31 to move to the unlocked position.

[0037] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the electronically controlled drive component 34 includes an electromagnetic drive component. The electromagnetic drive component is an actuator that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction. It is usually composed of an electromagnetic coil wound on a magnetic core and a movable armature or iron core. The coil is made of copper enameled wire with good conductivity. The core and the outer magnetic core are usually made of soft magnetic metal materials such as silicon steel or pure iron. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it can generate a magnetic field, which in turn generates a magnetic attraction or repulsion force on the armature.

[0038] The first docking assembly 300 includes a base 32, which serves as the mounting carrier for the first docking assembly 300. The base 32 is typically made of hard plastic or lightweight alloy and formed by injection molding or machining, presenting a block or shell structure with internal accommodating space. The base 32 is fixedly mounted on the frame body 100 or functional module 200, providing a stable support foundation for the internal moving parts. The base 32 is provided with an insertion interface 323, which is typically an opening or groove on the surface of the base 32. Its outline matches the shape of the mating part 41, allowing the mating part 41 to be inserted during docking, providing initial guidance and positioning, enabling the mating part 41 to smoothly enter the interior of the base 32. The base 32 is also provided with a cavity 324 that communicates with the insertion interface 323. The cavity 324 is a hollow structure inside the base 32 for accommodating the movable parts. It is spatially connected to the insertion interface 323, so that the mating part 41 inserted through the insertion interface 323 can extend into or come close to the cavity 324 so as to interact with the movable parts inside the cavity 324.

[0039] Furthermore, the functional module 200 or the frame body 100 of the smart glasses 1000 is provided with a mounting groove. The mounting groove is a receiving space formed by recessing inward from the outer surface of the functional module 200 or the frame body 100. Its shape is usually a rectangular groove, cylindrical groove, or irregular groove that matches the outer contour of the base 32. The inner wall of the mounting groove can be a smooth surface, or it can be locally machined with structures such as snap-fits or through holes for positioning or fastening. The base 32 is set in the mounting groove, that is, the base 32 is embedded in the mounting groove. The fixing method between the base 32 and the mounting groove can be by interference fit pressing, bonding with weather-resistant adhesive, threaded connection of the base 32 through the bottom wall of the mounting groove with fasteners such as micro screws, or interlocking with the groove of the outer shell of the base 32 using the elastic buckle of the side wall of the mounting groove. Through these fixing methods, the base 32 is firmly confined in the internal space of the mounting groove, and the outer wall of the base 32 is close to or adjacent to the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0040] The locking element 31 is movably disposed in the cavity 324. The outer contour of the locking element 31 is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the cavity 324. It is usually in the form of a slider, pin or tongue structure, and the material is usually metal or hard engineering plastic. It can slide or swing in a specific direction in the cavity 324, so that it has two spatial states in the cavity 324: a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0041] The first docking assembly 300 also includes an elastic element 33, which is disposed between the base 32 and the locking element 31. The elastic element 33 is typically a helical compression spring, leaf spring, or elastic claw made of spring steel, phosphor bronze, or elastic polymer material. It utilizes the elastic deformation characteristics of the material itself to continuously accumulate and release elastic restoring force. The elastic element 33 is configured to apply a locking force to the locking element 31 towards the locked position. That is, under normal conditions without interference from other external forces, the elastic element 33 pushes or presses the locking element 31 with its own elastic restoring force, causing the locking element 31 to spontaneously bias and remain in the locked position within the cavity 324, forming a normally closed biased structure.

[0042] The electromagnetic drive component is fixedly mounted on the base 32, and its installation position is far away from the insertion interface 323. This spatial layout separates the insertion area of ​​the electromagnetic drive component and the mating component 41 in physical space, avoiding the electromagnetic drive component from occupying the space of the insertion interface 323 and hindering the insertion of the mating component 41. At the same time, it also allows the electromagnetic driving force to be effectively transmitted through the locking component 31.

[0043] In the locked state, the electromagnetic drive is not energized, and the elastic element 33 applies a locking force to the locking element 31, pushing the locking element 31 to move to or maintain in the locked position. At this time, part of the structure of the locking element 31 protrudes from the cavity 324 or remains blocked on the communication path between the insertion interface 323 and the cavity 324, forming a physical block on the mating part 41 inserted into the insertion interface 323, realizing the function of limiting the mating part 41, so that the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 maintain a stable mechanical fixation and electrical connection.

[0044] In the unlocked state, the control module outputs an unlock signal to energize the electromagnetic drive, and the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field, which in turn generates a driving force. The direction of this driving force is opposite to the locking force of the elastic element 33. As the current increases, the electromagnetic driving force overcomes the locking force of the elastic element 33, pulling or pushing the locking element 31 to move in the opposite direction within the cavity 324, forcing the elastic element 33 to undergo elastic deformation and store force. The locking element 31 then moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, releasing the physical block on the mating part 41 and allowing the mating part 41 to be pulled out from the insertion interface 323.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the elastic element 33 and the electromagnetic drive element forms a safety mechanism that is normally locked and unlocked when powered on. During daily wear when not powered on, the elastic element 33 can continuously provide a reliable mechanical locking force to prevent the functional module 200 from accidentally loosening, ensuring the stability of the connection and the stability of the electrical contact. When disassembly is required, the device can be unlocked simply by generating an instantaneous driving force through electromagnetic energization to overcome the spring force. The operation response is rapid and the external force required by the user is minimal, effectively solving the contradiction between mechanical locking and convenient disassembly in a confined space. At the same time, the connection structure between the insertion interface 323 and the cavity 324 in the base 32 and the layout of the electromagnetic drive element away from the insertion interface 323 ensure that the insertion guide of the mating part 41 and the internal drive transmission do not interfere with each other in space. The structure is compact and reasonable, which is conducive to the overall lightweight and miniaturized design of the smart glasses 1000.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 In one embodiment, the inner wall of the base 32 is provided with a driving part 35; the locking member 31 includes a sleeve 311 and at least one locking ball 312, the sleeve 311 is movably disposed in the cavity 324, and the side wall of the sleeve 311 is provided with a radially penetrating mounting hole; the locking ball 312 is movably disposed in the mounting hole, and the outer side of the locking ball 312 protrudes from the mounting hole and slides against the driving part 35; when the sleeve 311 moves relative to the base 32, the driving part 35 forces the locking ball 312 to extend or retract radially into the mounting hole, so that the locking ball 312 switches between the locked position and the unlocked position; the mating member 41 is inserted into the sleeve 311 via the insertion interface 323; In the locked state, the elastic element 33 applies a locking force to the sleeve 311, and the driving part 35 forces the locking ball 312 to extend radially out of the mounting hole and engage with the mating part 41, so that the locking ball 312 is in the locked position. In the unlocked state, the electromagnetic drive holds the sleeve 311 to one side of the unlocked position, and the drive part 35 allows the locking ball 312 to retract radially into the mounting hole and disengage from the mating member 41, so that the locking ball 312 is in the unlocked position.

[0047] It should be noted that the inner wall of the base 32 is provided with a drive section 35. The drive section 35 is typically a cam profile, inclined surface, or stepped groove structure with varying diameter formed on the inner wall surface of the base 32. Its material is the same as that of the base 32 or is made of wear-resistant metal inlay. The surface shape of the drive section 35 is designed to generate a mechanical pushing force in a specific direction or provide clearance space to the parts in contact with it by changing the height of the profile when the sleeve 311 undergoes axial displacement.

[0048] The locking element 31 includes a sleeve 311 and at least one locking ball 312. The sleeve 311 is typically a hollow cylindrical or tubular shell structure, made of brass, stainless steel, or wear-resistant engineering plastic. The locking ball 312 is a smooth spherical structure, typically made of hard metal such as bearing steel or ceramic to reduce frictional resistance and withstand compressive stress. There can be one or more locking balls 312, distributed around the sleeve 311 to provide uniform clamping force. The sleeve 311 is movably disposed within the cavity 324 and can reciprocate along its central axis within the cavity 324. A radially penetrating mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 311. The mounting hole is typically circular, with its inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the locking ball 312, allowing the locking ball 312 to be placed within it without falling out. The mounting hole also provides a guide channel for the radial movement of the locking ball 312. The locking ball 312 is movably disposed within the mounting hole and can roll or slide along the radial direction of the mounting hole. A portion of the outer surface of the locking ball 312 protrudes outward through the mounting hole, directly forming a sliding contact with the drive portion 35 on the inner wall of the base 32. This contact relationship allows the relative axial movement between the base 32 and the sleeve 311 to be converted into radial movement of the locking ball 312 within the mounting hole through the sliding friction and positional interference between the contour undulation of the drive portion 35 and the locking ball 312.

[0049] When the sleeve 311 moves axially relative to the base 32, the sleeve 311 drives the locking ball 312 to move synchronously. Due to the contour change of the surface of the driving part 35, the driving part 35 forces the locking ball 312 to extend radially out of or retract into the mounting hole through the abutment surface. When the locking ball 312 extends radially, the locking member 31 is in the locked position; when the locking ball 312 retracts radially, the locking member 31 is in the unlocked position, thereby realizing the state switching of the locking member 31 between these two positions.

[0050] The insertion end of the mating part 41 is typically a cylindrical rod-shaped structure, with an annular groove or locking hole on its outer surface corresponding to the locking ball 312. When the mating part 41 is inserted into the sleeve 311, the radial movement of the locking ball 312 directly acts on the outer peripheral wall or locking structure of the mating part 41, thereby achieving the gripping, locking, or releasing of the mating part 41.

[0051] In the locked state, the elastic element 33 applies a locking force to the sleeve 311 toward the locked position, pushing the sleeve 311 to move within the cavity 324. At this time, due to the inward compression of the contour of the drive part 35, the locking ball 312 is forced to extend radially outward from the mounting hole and engage with the groove of the mating part 41 or abut against the stepped surface of the mating part 41, forming a mechanical engagement, so that the locking ball 312 is stably located in the locked position, and the mating part 41 is firmly locked inside the sleeve 311.

[0052] In the unlocked state, the electromagnetic drive unit is energized to generate a driving force that overcomes the locking force of the elastic member 33, keeping the sleeve 311 on the unlocked side. At this time, the sleeve 311 moves so that the locking ball 312 is opposite to the contour of the drive part 35 or the relief groove. The drive part 35 no longer provides inward squeezing force to the locking ball 312, allowing the locking ball 312 to retract radially inward into the mounting hole. The locking ball 312 disengages from the engagement with the mating member 41, so that the locking ball 312 is in the unlocked position, and the mating member 41 can be freely pulled out.

[0053] In this embodiment, the axial driving force is cleverly converted into the radial locking force of the locking ball 312 through the relative movement between the sleeve 311 and the driving part 35 on the inner wall of the base 32. The direction of movement and force transmission are realized by using the inclined plane or cam structure. The spherical structure of the locking ball 312 enables uniform multi-point or ring clamping during engagement, has a self-centering effect, improves the coaxiality and stability of the connection, and the wear caused by the friction of the ball rolling or sliding is small. At the same time, the mating structure of the sleeve 311 and the locking ball 312 occupies very little radial space, which is very suitable for micro-small devices such as smart glasses 1000 that have strict requirements for internal space, and realizes reliable locking and convenient release in a compact layout.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the driving part 35 is a spiral groove formed on the inner wall of the base 32, and the spiral groove extends spirally along the axial direction of the base 32; the end of the spiral groove near the electromagnetic drive corresponds to the unlocking position, and the end away from the electromagnetic drive corresponds to the locking position; the depth of the spiral groove gradually decreases from the unlocking position to the locking position. The portion of the locking ball 312 protruding from the mounting hole is embedded in the spiral groove. When the sleeve 311 is driven to move axially by the electromagnetic drive, the locking ball 312 slides along the spiral groove and forces the sleeve 311 to rotate. As the sleeve 311 rotates, the bottom wall of the spiral groove, which gradually becomes shallower, presses against the locking ball 312, thereby forcing the locking ball 312 to extend or retract radially into the mounting hole.

[0055] It should be noted that the drive unit 35 can be a spiral groove formed on the inner wall of the base 32. The spiral groove is a groove structure that extends around the central axis of the base 32. It is usually formed by milling on the inner wall of the base 32 by CNC machine tool or by injection molding. The inner wall surface of the spiral groove is smooth to reduce sliding friction resistance.

[0056] The spiral groove extends spirally along the axial direction of the base 32. The end of the spiral groove closer to the electromagnetic drive corresponds spatially to the area where the locking member 31 is in the unlocked position, while the end farther from the electromagnetic drive corresponds to the area where the locking member 31 is in the locked position. This positional correspondence matches the axial displacement direction of the sleeve 311 under electromagnetic or elastic force. The depth of the spiral groove refers to the vertical distance from the inner surface of the base 32 inwards to the bottom wall of the spiral groove. Due to the gradual change in depth, the bottom wall of the spiral groove actually forms a continuous spiral inclined surface structure. The groove depth is greatest at the unlocked position, and the bottom wall is furthest outwards, while the groove depth is smallest at the locked position, and the bottom wall is furthest inwards.

[0057] The portion of the locking ball 312 protruding from the mounting hole of the sleeve 311 is embedded in the spiral groove. The locking ball 312 passes through the mounting hole on the side wall of the sleeve 311 and extends partially into the spiral groove on the inner wall of the base 32, so that the sleeve 311, the locking ball 312 and the base 32 form a spatial motion relationship. The locking ball 312 becomes the intermediate medium for transmitting motion and power.

[0058] When the sleeve 311 moves axially under the drive of the electromagnetic actuator or the action of the elastic element 33, the locking ball 312 embedded in the spiral groove is blocked and guided by the sidewall of the spiral groove, and is forced to slide along the curved trajectory of the spiral groove. Because the spiral groove itself has a helical angle around the axis, as the locking ball 312 moves axially with the sleeve 311, its sliding along the spiral trajectory applies a circumferential force to the sleeve 311, thereby forcing the sleeve 311 to rotate within the cavity 324, thus converting the linear axial displacement of the sleeve 311 into its own rotational displacement. As the sleeve 311 rotates, the relative position of the locking ball 312 within the spiral groove changes, and the gradually shallowing bottom wall of the spiral groove gradually squeezes the locking ball 312. When the sleeve 311 rotates towards the locking position, the inward pressure of the bottom wall forces the locking ball 312 to overcome radial resistance and extend radially inward from the mounting hole, thereby locking the mating part 41. When the sleeve 311 rotates towards the unlocking position, the locking ball 312 enters the deeper section of the spiral groove, the pressure of the bottom wall weakens or disappears, allowing the locking ball 312 to retract radially outward from the mounting hole, thereby releasing the mating part 41. This achieves a smooth switching of the locking ball 312 between the locking and unlocking positions.

[0059] In this embodiment, by designing the drive unit 35 as a spiral groove with a gradually varying depth, the spiral surface mechanism is cleverly used to convert the axial linear motion of the sleeve 311 into the rotational motion of the sleeve 311. The radial extension and retraction of the locking ball 312 are simultaneously achieved by the change in groove depth. This motion conversion mechanism makes the locking action present a spiral wedge-in posture. The movement process is smooth and has good self-locking characteristics, which can effectively avoid accidental unlocking caused by external force vibration. At the same time, the spiral groove is distributed on the circumference of the inner wall of the base 32, so that the locking ball 312 can be uniformly supported by the circumferential wall of the base 32 when under force, which improves the stress condition of the locking ball 312 and improves the durability and reliability of the connection mechanism under long-term repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 In one embodiment, the mating member 41 includes a docking plug, which is inserted into the sleeve 311 via the insertion interface 323. The outer wall of the docking plug is provided with an annular groove. In the locked position, the locking ball 312 extends into the annular groove to engage the mating member 41.

[0061] It should be noted that the mating plug is an end structure on the mating part 41 used to extend into the base 32 to achieve a plug-in engagement. Its shape is usually a cylindrical or prismatic rod. The mating plug is inserted into the sleeve 311 through the insertion interface 323. In the plugged state, the mating plug passes through the hollow cavity of the sleeve 311 along the axial direction, so that the outer peripheral wall of the mating plug is close to or fits against the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve 311, providing a precise radial alignment reference for subsequent radial snap-fit.

[0062] The outer wall of the connector has an annular groove, which is a closed groove formed by a concave indentation around the outer circumference of the connector. Its cross-sectional shape can be arc-shaped, V-shaped, or rectangular, with a smooth transition between the groove wall and the bottom wall, forming a continuous circumferential recessed space on the outer surface of the connector. In the locked position, the locking ball 312 extends radially out of the mounting hole and into the annular groove. The local surface of the locking ball 312 physically interferes with and abuts against the groove wall of the annular groove to form a locking engagement, thereby axially restricting the connector from disengaging from the sleeve 311.

[0063] The connector can be configured as a fully conductive structure, meaning that the entire connector is made of a single conductive metal such as copper alloy or stainless steel, and the surface can be plated with gold or nickel to reduce contact resistance. In this case, the connector not only serves as a carrier for mechanical snap-fit, but its outer peripheral wall also serves as a contact surface for electrical connection. In the plugged-in state, it directly abuts against the conductive spring 36 or contact element provided inside the sleeve 311 or on the base 32 to realize the transmission of electrical energy and signals.

[0064] The connector can also be configured as a partially conductive structure, meaning the connector includes an insulating body and at least one conductive terminal embedded in the insulating body. The insulating body is molded from an insulating material such as engineering plastic or ceramic, with an annular groove formed on the insulating body to withstand mechanical locking force; the conductive terminal is usually a metal pin, contact spring, or insert, part of which is embedded and fixed in the insulating body, while the other part protrudes from the outer surface or end of the insulating body, for contacting and conducting with the corresponding independent electrical contacts on the mating side, thereby achieving isolated transmission of multiple signals or power.

[0065] In this embodiment, by designing the docking plug as a fully conductive or partially conductive structure, the connection mechanism can flexibly adapt to electrical connection requirements of varying complexity. The fully conductive structure is simple and compact, suitable for simple power supply or single-channel signal transmission. The partially conductive structure, through the combination of an insulating body and conductive terminals, ensures that the mechanical locking is not interfered with by the electrical structure, while achieving independent and isolated multi-circuit signals, improving the safety and functional expandability of the electrical connection. Moreover, regardless of the conductive method used, the cooperation between the annular groove and the locking ball 312 can provide reliable circumferential uniform limiting, ensuring that the conductive parts always maintain stable and reliable contact pressure in the locked state.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first docking assembly 300 further includes a conductive spring 36, which is disposed on the base 32; In the locked state, the conductive spring 36 is in contact with the mating member 41 and conducts electricity.

[0067] It should be noted that the conductive spring 36 is a contact element with elastic deformation capability and good conductivity. Its material is typically a thin sheet of elastic metal such as beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, or stainless steel, and its surface is usually plated with gold, silver, or nickel to reduce contact resistance and improve corrosion resistance. The conductive spring 36 is usually designed in the shape of a cantilever beam, a U-shaped bend, or an arched protrusion. This structural design allows it to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external pressure and return to its original shape after the external force is removed, thus providing continuous contact pressure.

[0068] The conductive spring 36 is disposed on the base 32. It can be fixed by insert injection molding into the inner wall of the base 32, or by snap-fitting, welding or fasteners into the inner wall of the cavity 324 of the base 32 or a specific slot. One end of the conductive spring 36 is fixed relative to the base 32 and electrically connected to the internal circuit board or wires, while the other end is suspended or slightly protruding from the inner wall surface of the base 32, extending into the movement trajectory of the mating part 41 during insertion, so as to make contact with it when the mating part 41 is inserted.

[0069] In the locked state, the mating part 41 is inserted along the insertion interface 323 and fixed in a predetermined position within the sleeve 311, at which point the locking member 31 mechanically limits the mating part 41. Simultaneously, the suspended end of the conductive spring 36 forms a tight physical contact with the conductive area on the mating part 41, such as the outer wall of the connector or a conductive terminal. Because the position of the mating part 41 is firmly constrained in the locked state, the conductive area of ​​the mating part 41 compresses the conductive spring 36, forcing the conductive spring 36 to undergo elastic deformation. The conductive spring 36 then applies positive contact pressure to the mating part 41 based on its own rebound force, creating a tight electrical contact surface between the two, thereby conducting the circuit and realizing power transmission and signal communication between the frame body 100 and the functional module 200.

[0070] In this embodiment, by adding a conductive spring 36 to the base 32 that is in contact with the mating part 41 in the locked state, the synchronous linkage of mechanical locking and electrical conduction is achieved. When the locking part 31 firmly locks the mating part 41, the conductive spring 36 also establishes a stable electrical connection due to the fixed position of the mating part 41. The mechanical locking force provides positional assurance for the contact pressure of the spring, avoiding poor electrical contact or momentary disconnection caused by shaking. At the same time, the elastic deformation characteristics of the conductive spring 36 can effectively absorb the tolerances brought about by manufacturing and assembly, and compensate for the minor wear of the contact surface during long-term use, maintaining a stable positive contact force and improving the reliability and service life of the electrical connection.

[0071] In one embodiment, the second docking component 400 further includes a grounding contact and an identification tag, and the control module includes a microcontroller and an identification reader, wherein the microcontroller is electrically connected to the conductive spring 36, and the identification reader is connected to the microcontroller; In the locked state, the conductive spring 36 makes contact with the grounding contact and conducts electricity. The microcontroller detects the conduction signal, the control module supplies power to the functional module 200, and reads the identification tag through the identification reader to confirm the installation of the functional module 200. In the unlocked state, the conductive spring 36 is disconnected from the grounding contact, the microcontroller detects a disconnection signal, the control module stops supplying power to the functional module 200 and confirms that the functional module 200 has been removed.

[0072] It should be noted that the grounding contact is a conductive contact part set on the mating part 41. Its material is usually copper alloy and plated with gold or nickel to prevent oxidation. Its shape can be a flat metal surface, a slightly convex hemisphere, or an elastic probe end. The layout of the grounding contact on the mating part 41 corresponds to the conductive spring 36 on the base 32. When the mating part 41 is inserted, it can be precisely aligned with the conductive spring 36 and physically abut against it to provide a grounding circuit or conductive path.

[0073] An identification tag is an electronic carrier that stores the identity information and attribute parameters of a specific functional module 200. It can be a radio frequency identification tag, a near field communication tag, or a contact module with a storage chip. It is usually encapsulated inside the housing of the mating part 41 or embedded on the surface, and is located close to the sensing area of ​​the identification reader. The identification tag contains a unique identification code or module type code, which is used to declare its identity to the external reading device.

[0074] The control module includes a microcontroller and an identification reader. The microcontroller is the core of the smart glasses 1000's computing power, consisting of an integrated circuit chip and its peripheral circuitry. The microcontroller's input pins are electrically connected to conductive contacts 36 on the base 32 via internal wires, enabling real-time monitoring of the voltage level or on / off status of the circuit containing the conductive contacts 36. The identification reader is a read / write circuit capable of sending radio frequency or electrical signals to identification tags and receiving returned data. It includes an antenna coil or electrical contact terminals. The identification reader connects to the microcontroller via a data bus or communication pins, transmitting the read tag data to the microcontroller for analysis and comparison.

[0075] In the locked state, the mating part 41 is fixed by the locking part 31. At this time, the conductive spring 36 is in close contact with the grounding contact, causing the circuit loop connected to the microcontroller to close or the level to flip. The microcontroller detects this conduction signal and determines that the functional module 200 is in place at the physical level. Subsequently, the power management unit of the control module supplies power to the functional module 200. Based on the power supply, the microcontroller activates the identification reader. The reader senses and reads the identification code in the identification tag. The microcontroller compares the read identification code with the preset legitimate module information, confirming that the functional module 200 is a compatible legitimate module, thereby completing the installation confirmation and allowing the system to call the module's functions.

[0076] In the unlocked state, locking member 31 releases mating member 41, and conductive spring 36 and grounding contact disengage as mating member 41 moves, breaking the originally closed circuit loop. The microcontroller detects the disconnection signal and then controls the power management unit to cut off the power supply to the functional module 200 to prevent arcs or surges caused by hot-plugging from damaging the circuit. At the same time, the microcontroller marks the status of the functional module 200 as removed at the system level and stops sending data commands to it.

[0077] In this embodiment, by setting the grounding contact and the conductive spring 36 together as a physical presence detection switch, the microcontroller only supplies power to the functional module 200 after detecting the conduction signal, realizing a safe timing sequence of mechanical positioning before electrical power-on, avoiding the risk of contact burning or circuit short circuit caused by hot plugging and unplugging; at the same time, by combining the identification tag and reader, a dual confirmation mechanism is constructed, which not only prevents unauthorized or incompatible modules from being incorrectly connected and causing system failure, but also enables the control module to automatically load the corresponding driver or adjust the working mode according to the identified module type, realizing hot-plug identification and intelligent adaptive management of the functional module 200, significantly improving the system's compatibility and safety.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the base 32 includes a first housing 321 and a second housing 322 detachably connected to the first housing 321, wherein the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 enclose the cavity 324. Among them, at least one of the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 is a magnet.

[0079] It should be noted that the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 are typically made of rigid polymer or lightweight alloy, and their shapes are generally designed as mutually compatible half-shell or cover structures. The detachable connection can be achieved by screws, snap-fit ​​connections, or pin-hole insertion, allowing the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 to be separated when needed and securely joined during assembly to form a complete base 32 outer shell.

[0080] After the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 are joined together, their internal recessed structures or open cavities are combined to form a cavity 324 for accommodating internal moving parts. Since the base 32 needs to house precision components such as sleeves 311, locking balls 312, electromagnetic drive components, and elastic components 33, the split housing design allows these internal components to be positioned and wired on the open surfaces of the first housing 321 or the second housing 322 during assembly. Then, the other half of the housing is closed, thereby enclosing the internal components within the cavity 324, providing operational space for assembling complex internal structures.

[0081] A magnet is a magnetically conductive structural component that can be attracted by a magnet. It is typically made of soft magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and their alloys, including low-carbon steel or silicon steel. The magnet can be an integral part of the corresponding housing material, meaning the first housing 321 or the second housing 322 can be entirely formed by stamping or injection molding of a magnetically conductive metal; alternatively, it can be a metal block embedded or fixed in the outer wall or internal groove of the first housing 321 or the second housing 322. The magnet's function is to generate magnetic attraction with the permanent magnets on the frame body 100 or functional module 200 of the smart glasses 1000. When the base 32 approaches the installation position, the magnet and the permanent magnet attract each other, achieving magnetic pre-positioning and auxiliary fixation of the base 32.

[0082] In this embodiment, by designing the base 32 as a split structure in which the first housing 321 and the second housing 322 are detachably connected and enclosed to form a cavity 324, the assembly difficulty of the internal precision components is greatly reduced, the problem of the closed housing being unable to accommodate internal parts is solved, and it also facilitates later maintenance, replacement and disassembly inspection. At the same time, by setting at least one housing as a magnet, the base 32 can automatically align and pre-fix when inserted into the mounting slot or mating with the docking component, using the attraction force of the magnet and the external permanent magnet. That is, it provides a preliminary magnetic holding force before the locking member 31 is activated, preventing the components from slipping or shifting during the docking process. This not only improves the convenience and feel of blind operation during user insertion, but also makes mechanical locking and magnetic auxiliary fixing complement each other, further enhancing the overall stability of the connection.

[0083] In one embodiment, the control module is further configured to: An unlocking signal is output to the electronically controlled drive unit 34 to drive the locking member 31 to move to the unlocking position and release the restriction on the mating member 41; After the locking member 31 releases its restriction on the mating member 41, the unlocking signal is stopped after a preset delay, so as to allow the locking member 31 to return to the locking position.

[0084] It should be noted that the control module is also configured to execute specific timing control logic, which is typically implemented through software programs or hardware timing circuits burned into the internal microcontroller. Upon receiving an unlock command, the control module outputs an unlock signal to the electronically controlled drive unit 34. The electronically controlled drive unit 34 is energized to generate driving force, overcoming the resistance of the elastic element 33 and driving the locking element 31 to move to the unlock position, releasing the mechanical constraint on the mating element 41. At this time, the functional module 200 is in a detachable and free state, allowing the user to pull it off the frame body 100. After the locking element 31 releases the constraint on the mating element 41, the control module does not immediately withdraw the unlock signal. Instead, it starts an internal timer or delay program to maintain the output of the unlock signal for a preset time. This preset time is a time threshold set according to the reasonable operating window required for the user to complete the disassembly operation, ensuring that the user has sufficient time to pull it out.

[0085] When the delay reaches the preset time, the control module stops outputting the unlock signal, that is, it cuts off the power supply or excitation source of the electronically controlled drive component 34. At this time, the electronically controlled drive component 34 loses its driving force and stops working. The elastic element 33, which was originally compressed or deformed, releases its stored elastic potential energy and automatically pushes or pulls the locking element 31 back to the locking position, allowing the locking element 31 to reset and prepare for the next insertion and locking of the functional module 200.

[0086] In this embodiment, a delayed reset logic is set in the control module, providing the user with a safe and convenient disassembly operation window. This avoids the locking member 31 from quickly rebounding and jamming before the user pulls out the functional module 200 due to the instantaneous disappearance of the unlocking signal, thus preventing hard impact or interference between the locking member 31 and the mating member 41. At the same time, after the delay ends, the output of the unlocking signal is automatically stopped and the locking member 31 is automatically reset by the elastic member 33. There is no need for the user to manually reset the locking mechanism, so that the connecting mechanism can instantly return to the normally closed and locked standby state after the functional module 200 is pulled out. This saves power and ensures that the next insertion operation can be directly guided and locked, significantly improving the safety and automation of the interaction.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the functional module 200 includes at least one of a lens module 200a, a temple module 200b, a nose pad module 200c, and a front module 200d.

[0088] It should be noted that the functional module 200 is a unit on the smart glasses 1000 that can be independently installed and removed to perform specific functions, and it includes at least one of the lens module 200a, temple module 200b, nose pad module 200c, and front module 200d.

[0089] The lens module 200a may include a lower frame and a lens body. The lower frame is typically a semi-frame or U-shaped structure extending along the lower edge of the lens body, and can be made of lightweight metal or a polymer plastic with a certain degree of toughness, used to wrap and support the lens body from below and the side. The lens body can be made of optical resin, glass, or a diffractive lens with built-in optical waveguide elements. In this structural layout, the frame body 100 acts as the upper frame. During assembly, the first mating component 300 is located at the lower edge of the upper frame (i.e., the frame body 100), and the second mating component 400 is located at the upper edge of the lower frame. The two are interlocked to achieve mechanical locking between the upper and lower frames and to establish electrical conduction when needed. At the same time, a groove is formed along the length of the lower edge of the upper frame. In the assembled state, the upper edge or part of the structure of the lens body is directly embedded in the groove of the upper frame, and the inner wall of the groove wraps and clamps the embedded part of the lens body.

[0090] The temple module 200b is typically a slender, strip-shaped shell structure that houses electronic components such as a battery, speaker, Bluetooth module, or flexible circuit board. The shell is often made of lightweight metal or plastic and serves as the main power storage, communication processing, and audio output unit for the smart glasses 1000. During assembly, the first docking component 300 is located at both ends of the frame body 100 (upper frame), i.e., at the temple connection points, while the second docking component 400 is located at the front connection point of the temple module 200b. The temple module 200b achieves mechanical locking and electrical connection by inserting its front end into the end of the frame body 100 for power supply and data transmission.

[0091] The nose pad module 200c includes a nose pad for contacting the bridge of the nose and a connecting bracket. The nose pad is typically made of flexible silicone or soft plastic to improve wearing comfort, while the connecting bracket is usually made of metal wire core covered with plastic or molded from rigid plastic. During assembly, the first mating component 300 is located below the middle section of the bridge of the frame body 100, and the second mating component 400 is located at the top of the connecting bracket of the nose pad module 200c. It should be noted that when the nose pad module 200c is mated with the frame body 100, it can maintain only a structural mechanical connection, that is, a physical snap-fit ​​fixation is achieved through the locking component 31 and the mating component 41 to provide support for the bridge of the nose. However, the nose pad module 200c does not have conductive terminals or grounding contacts inside, and the corresponding conductive spring 36 on the base 32 is not conductive to it; no electrical connection is established between the two.

[0092] The front-facing module 200d can be a camera module, a fill light module, a bone conduction microphone module, or an environmental sensor module, etc. Its housing is designed with a corresponding package shape according to functional requirements, and integrates optical lenses, light-emitting diodes, or sensor chips internally. During assembly, the first docking component 300 is located at the reserved expansion interface on the main body 100 of the frame (such as the lower or front side of the frame), and the second docking component 400 is located on the housing of the front-facing module 200d. The front-facing module 200d achieves mechanical fixation and electrical connection by inserting into the reserved interface to transmit data and power.

[0093] In this embodiment, by subdividing the functional module 200 into at least one of the following: lens, temple, nose pad, and front module 200d, and clarifying the specific placement positions of the first docking component 300 and the second docking component 400 under each component, the spatial layout of the modular design is made clearer and more reasonable, allowing users to flexibly replace or upgrade corresponding components according to different usage scenarios and vision needs. In particular, the lens module 200a adopts an upper and lower split docking structure, with part of the lens body embedded in the groove of the upper frame, providing precise pre-positioning and guidance when the upper and lower frames are docked, ensuring a tight seam, while the groove clamps... The support of the lower frame ensures stable constraint of the lens body in both vertical directions, significantly enhancing the structural strength and stability of the assembled lens. Simultaneously, it is explicitly stated that the nose pad module 200c can be designed with purely mechanical connections without electrical connections. For basic components that only need to provide physical support, unnecessary conductive contacts and internal wiring structures are rationally eliminated, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost and assembly complexity of such basic modules. Redundant electrical detection logic is avoided, allowing the connection system to accommodate complex electrical expansion while also simplifying and adapting to the needs of purely physical support, thus improving the overall system compatibility and configuration flexibility.

[0094] In one embodiment, one of the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 is provided with at least two first docking components 300, and the other is provided with at least two second docking components 400, with at least two first docking components 300 and at least two second docking components 400 corresponding to each other.

[0095] It should be noted that in the assembly structure of the frame body 100 and the functional module 200, one of the frame body 100 and the functional module 200 is provided with at least two first docking components 300, and the other is provided with at least two second docking components 400. That is, at least two first docking components 300 (such as components including base 32, locking ball 312, electric drive component 34, etc.) can be provided on the frame body 100, and at least two second docking components 400 (such as components including mating part 41, grounding contact, identification tag, etc.) can be provided on the functional module 200; or conversely, at least two first docking components 300 can be provided on the functional module 200, and at least two second docking components 400 can be provided on the frame body 100. The number of first docking components 300 and second docking components 400 is consistent and not less than two.

[0096] During assembly and docking, at least two first docking components 300 and at least two second docking components 400 are paired one-to-one. In terms of spatial layout, these at least two sets of docking components are typically distributed at intervals along the docking direction between the functional module 200 and the frame body 100, for example, respectively located at the left and right ends, top and bottom sides, or diagonal positions of the module. When the functional module 200 is inserted into or attached to the frame body 100, the base 32 of each first docking component 300 and the mating part 41 of the corresponding second docking component 400 are aligned and inserted, and the locking parts 31 at each position act independently or synchronously, locking the multiple mating parts 41 in their respective cavities 324, thereby achieving multi-point mechanical fixation and electrical conduction.

[0097] In this embodiment, firstly, by setting at least two sets of one-to-one mating components, multi-point support and multi-point locking are formed between the functional module 200 and the frame body 100. Compared with single-point connection, multi-point fixing can effectively distribute the force, avoid loosening of the connection or structural breakage due to excessive force at a single point, significantly enhance the overall structural strength and torsional resistance after module assembly, and completely eliminate the warping or swaying phenomenon that is easy to occur when the module is subjected to force on one side. Secondly, the layout of multiple sets of mating components physically constitutes geometric constraints (such as two points determining a straight line, three points determining a plane), enabling the functional module 200 to be inserted... Precise guidance and positioning ensure high-precision docking. Furthermore, in terms of electrical performance, multiple docking components can achieve physical isolation between power supply and data transmission (e.g., one set dedicated to high-current power supply, and another dedicated to high-speed data communication), avoiding signal interference. Alternatively, they can achieve redundant parallel connection of power supply and grounding circuits, reducing the current load on individual contacts and improving the stability and safety of high-power module power supply. In addition, by setting multiple docking components to an asymmetrical distribution (e.g., unequal left and right spacing), it also serves as a foolproof mechanism, preventing incorrect reverse insertion of the functional module 200, ensuring the reliability and convenience of the insertion operation.
