DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the exploded structure of the knob adjustment mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the main structure of a focus adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the top view of the focus adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the figure.

[0028] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the knob adjustment mechanism includes a knob 11 and a connecting rod 13, which is slidably connected to the knob 11 along the axial direction and cannot rotate circumferentially; an elastic telescopic member 17 is provided between the knob 11 and the connecting rod 13, and a transmission gear 14 coaxially arranged with the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 13 away from the knob 11.

[0030] The knob 11 is mounted on the housing of the head mounted device and the transmission gear 14 is meshed with the focus adjustment gear 42 of the focus adjustment device. The knob 11 can rotate relative to the housing. The knob 11 is rotated to drive the focus adjustment gear 42 of the focus adjustment device to rotate through the connecting rod 13 and the transmission gear 14, so as to achieve focus adjustment. When the pupil distance between the lens barrel assembly 22a and the lens barrel assembly 22b is increased, the lens barrel assembly 22a and the lens barrel assembly 22b move outward, and the focus adjustment gear 42 will squeeze the transmission gear 14. Since the transmission gear 14 is fixed on the connecting rod 13, the connecting rod 13 can slide relative to the knob 11 in the axial direction, and an elastic telescopic member 17 is provided between the knob 11 and the connecting rod 13, the transmission gear 14 moves toward the knob 11 and the elastic telescopic member 17 is compressed by the connecting rod 13. Under the elastic force of the elastic telescopic member 17, the transmission gear 14 is always engaged with the focus adjustment gear 42. After the position of the lens barrel assembly is changed, the focal length can still be adjusted by the knob adjustment mechanism; when the pupil distance between the lens barrel assembly 22a and the lens barrel assembly 22b is adjusted to a smaller size, the lens barrel assembly 22a and the lens barrel assembly 22b move inwardly, and under the elastic force of the elastic telescopic member 17, the connecting rod 13 and the transmission gear 14 are pushed to move toward the lens barrel assembly on the corresponding side, so that the transmission gear 14 is always engaged with the focus adjustment gear 42. After the position of the lens barrel assembly is changed, the focal length can still be adjusted by the knob adjustment mechanism; the knob adjustment mechanism solves the problem that the existing adjustment knob cannot be used on the dynamic connection structure. After the position of the lens barrel assembly is adjusted, the focal length can still be adjusted, and it is very convenient to use.

[0033] In this embodiment, the knob 11 includes a rotating part and a sleeve 12 fixedly connected to the rotating part. The sleeve 12 is coaxially arranged with the rotating part. Usually, the sleeve 12 of the knob 11 is rotatably connected to the outer shell through a thin-walled bearing, a bushing, etc.; the connecting rod 13 is inserted into the sleeve 12, and a sliding structure is provided between the connecting rod 13 and the sleeve 12. The elastic telescopic part 17 is arranged between the bottom of the sleeve 12 and the end of the connecting rod 13, and a limit part is provided at the end of the sleeve 12 away from the rotating part.

[0034] Specifically, the limiting member is a buckle cover 16. Since the transmission gear 14, the connecting rod 13, and the sliding structure are usually an integrated structure, in order to facilitate the connecting rod 13 to pass through the buckle cover 16, a notch extending from the side to the center is provided on the buckle cover 16 to facilitate the connecting rod 13 to be stuck on the buckle cover 16 and pass through the buckle cover 16.

[0035] Specifically, the sliding structure includes at least two ribs 131 arranged on the outer surface of the connecting rod 13 and extending circumferentially along the connecting rod 13, and a slide groove 121 is respectively arranged on the inner side wall of the sleeve 12 corresponding to each rib 131, and each rib 131 is respectively inserted into the corresponding slide groove 121. In order to facilitate the sliding between the connecting rod 13 and the sleeve 12, a flexible strip 32 made of rubber, silicone, etc. is arranged on the side of the rib 131 away from the connecting rod 131, and the elasticity of the flexible strip 32 can make the connecting rod 13 and the sleeve 12 coaxially arranged. Usually, a plurality of ribs 131 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13, and a flexible strip 32 is respectively arranged on the side of each rib 131 away from the connecting rod 131, and a slide groove 121 is respectively arranged on the inner side wall of the sleeve 12 corresponding to each rib 131.

[0036] In this embodiment, the transmission gear 14 is a crown gear, and the focus adjustment gear 42 is a spur gear. Of course, the transmission gear 14 can also be set as a bevel gear, and the corresponding focus adjustment gear 42 should also be set as a bevel gear.

The rotation of the knob 12 can drive the threaded rod 41 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 41 is rotationally connected to the lens barrel assembly and transmission-connected to the display assembly, when at least two threaded rods 41 between the lens barrel assembly and the display assembly rotate, the display assembly slides along the threaded rod 41 to achieve focal length adjustment; after the pupil distance is adjusted, the position of the lens barrel assembly changes. , moves toward the direction approaching the knob adjustment mechanism or away from the knob adjustment mechanism, the distance between the lens barrel assembly and the knob adjustment mechanism changes, since the transmission gear 14 is fixed on the connecting rod 13, the connecting rod 13 can slide relative to the knob 11 along the axial direction, and an elastic telescopic member 17 is provided between the knob 11 and the connecting rod 13, under the elastic force of the elastic telescopic member 17, the transmission gear 14 is always engaged with the focal length adjustment gear 42, and after the position of the lens barrel assembly is changed, the focal length can still be adjusted by the knob adjustment mechanism, which solves the problem that the existing adjustment knob cannot be used for a dynamic connection structure, and is very convenient to use.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the transmission structure is a gear belt 43. Since three focus adjustment gears 42 are respectively arranged at the upper part, the lower part and the outer part of the lens barrel assembly, it is necessary to respectively arrange a belt steering structure between the focus adjustment gear 42 at the upper part and the focus adjustment gear 42 at the outer part, and between the focus adjustment gear 42 at the lower part and the focus adjustment gear 42 at the outer part. The belt steering structure comprises an outer steering member 223 and an inner steering member 224 arranged on the lens barrel assembly. The outer belt body of the gear belt 43 is wound around the outer steering member 223, and the inner belt body is wound around the inner steering member 224. Specifically, the outer steering member 223 is an arc plate, and the inner steering member 224 is a cylinder. Of course, the transmission structure can also be provided with a plurality of intermediate gears between two adjacent focus adjustment gears 42 for transmission.

[0044] In order to ensure that the three focal length adjustment gears 42 can rotate simultaneously, gear belts 43 are respectively provided between the outer focal length adjustment gear 42 and the upper focal length adjustment gear 42, and between the outer focal length adjustment gear 42 and the lower focal length adjustment gear 42; the outer focal length adjustment gear 42 is a step gear, and the two gear belts 43 are wrapped around the small outer diameter wheel body part of the step gear.
