Implementation Method

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1: Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, a VR head-mounted device includes a shell assembly 100, which includes a first shell 110 and a second shell 120. The first shell 110 includes a first front panel 111, two first side panels 112 arranged on the left and right, and a first magnetic component 113 is provided on the first side panel 112; the second shell 120 is located on the rear side of the first shell 110, and includes a second front panel 121, two second side panels 122 arranged on the left and right, and a second magnetic component 123 is provided on the second side panel 122; the first front panel 111 is located in front of the second front panel 121, and the first side panel 112 is located on the outside of the second side panel 122. The first magnetic component 113 and the second magnetic component 123 are attracted to each other to achieve a detachable connection between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120.

[0031] Specifically, the first shell 110 is equivalent to the front shell of the VR head-mounted device, and the second shell 120 is equivalent to the back shell of the VR head-mounted device. The two are directly connected in a detachable manner through the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic component 113 and the second magnetic component 123, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first shell 110 relative to the second shell 120, thereby facilitating the disassembly, maintenance or replacement of the first shell 110. Consumers can replace different first shells 110 according to their own preferences, which not only reduces the cost of after-sales maintenance of the product, but also improves the user experience and the market competitiveness of the product.

[0032] Furthermore, the first housing 110 can slide relative to the second housing 120. A first guide portion 114 is formed on the first side plate 112, and a second guide portion 124 is formed on the second side plate 122. The first guide portion 114 and the second guide portion 124 are slidably guided to cooperate with each other to achieve sliding assembly of the first housing 110 relative to the second housing 120. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the first guide portion 114 is a strip-shaped protrusion extending along the height direction of the first shell 110, and the second guide portion 124 is a strip-shaped groove extending along the height direction of the second shell 120. When the first shell 110 is slidably installed, the first shell 110 is placed above the second shell 120, and the first guide portion 114 and the second guide portion 124 are aligned. The first shell 110 is pushed downward so that the first guide portion 114 is embedded in the second guide portion 124 and the first shell 110 slides downward until the first magnetic component 113 and the second magnetic component 123 are attracted, and the first shell 110 is slidably assembled into place relative to the second shell 120.

[0033] In order to improve the stability of the first shell 110, the bottom end of the second guide part 124 has a stop boss 125. When the first shell 110 is slid and assembled into place relative to the second shell 120, the bottom end of the first guide part 114 is just supported on the stop boss 125, so that in addition to being magnetically connected to the second shell 120, the first shell 110 is also stopped in the front and rear directions by the first guide part 114 and the second guide part 124, and at the same time supported and stopped by the stop boss 125, thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic connection between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first magnetic component 113 is located on the first guide portion 114, and the second magnetic component 123 is located on the second guide portion 124. A plurality of first magnetic components 113 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first guide portion 114, and correspondingly, a plurality of second magnetic components 123 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second guide portion 124 to further improve the reliability of the magnetic connection.

[0035] Furthermore, a positioning groove 126 is formed on the second guide portion 124, and the second magnetic component 123 is arranged in the positioning groove 126, specifically on the bottom surface of the groove. The first magnetic component 113 protrudes from the first guide portion 114. When it is attracted to the second magnetic component 123, the first magnetic component 113 is embedded in the positioning groove 126, so that the positioning groove 126 can also play a positioning and limiting role on the first magnetic component 113, further improving the reliability of the magnetic connection.

[0036] The specific installation process of the first magnetic component 113 and the second magnetic component 123 is as follows: first apply instant glue to the positioning groove 126, then place the second magnetic component 123 and let it bond instantly; fix the first magnetic component 113 on the first guide part 114 with PUR glue and heat and press for 7-10 minutes at a temperature of 130±10° to allow the glue to completely melt and bond.

[0037] Second magnetic member 123 is conical in shape, engaging with first magnetic member 113 at its larger end. This conical shape maximizes the surface area of ​​attraction when the larger end of second magnetic member 123 is attached to first magnetic member 113, enhancing its robustness. Furthermore, this conical shape also reduces weight. First magnetic member 113 may be a magnetic sheet or ring, and may be flush with the bottom surface of positioning slot 126.

[0038] Example 2: Different from Example 1, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first shell 110 is an integral injection-molded structure made of infrared-transparent resin, and its thickness is inconsistent at at least some positions, that is, the thickness of the first shell 110 is smaller at some positions and larger at other positions, and is not uniform.

[0039] Since the first shell 110 is an integral injection-molded structure made of infrared-transparent resin material, and the thickness of at least some parts thereof is inconsistent, the refraction angles of light for each part with inconsistent thickness are different, and the corresponding displayed colors are different. In this embodiment, the first shell 110 is integrally molded with infrared-transparent resin material, and the thickness of at least some parts thereof is inconsistent, so that the effect of different colors of at least some parts of the first shell 110 can be achieved, thereby improving the diversity of product appearance, improving recognition and market competitiveness, and eliminating the need to make the first shell 110 color-changing through spraying, printing, electroplating or in-film injection molding, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency, reducing production costs and mold costs, and is pollution-free to the environment, which is beneficial to energy saving. At the same time, the first shell 110 is injection-molded, has strong integrity, and is beneficial to improving service life.

[0040] Specifically, the material of the first shell 110 can be PA, PP or ABS, etc., and its thickness presents a red effect within 1.5mm, a green effect within 1.5mm-3mm, and other low-saturation dark colors above 3mm, so that at least part of the first shell 110 displays different colors.

[0041] Because the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are detachably connected via magnetic attraction according to the first embodiment, the first shell 110 can be easily removed for repair or replacement. Furthermore, combined with the structure of the first shell 110 described in the second embodiment, multiple first shells 110 can be formed, each with different thickness variation trends or patterns. Consequently, the multiple first shells 110 exhibit different appearances and colors, allowing users to customize or replace them according to their preferences, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0042] In this embodiment, the inner side surface 115 of the first shell 110 is uneven, forming a plurality of concave portions and a plurality of convex portions, thereby achieving inconsistent thickness at least in part of the first shell 110. Figure 5 As shown, each convex portion extends along the height direction of the first shell 110, and each concave portion also extends along the height direction of the first shell 110. The concave portions and convex portions are arranged alternately, so that the outer side surface 116 of the first shell 110 presents multiple strip-shaped areas, and adjacent strip-shaped areas have different colors. Figure 4 The vertical dotted line in the middle is the dividing line between adjacent bar areas.

[0043] Furthermore, the outer side surface 116 of the first shell 110 is a curved surface or a flat surface, and is smooth without seams and grooves, or is smooth without seams or grooves, so that the outer side surface 116 of the first shell 110 is not easy to accumulate dust or water, and has good appearance consistency without a sense of separation.

[0044] Example 3: Different from Example 2, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the convex portions on the inner side surface 115 of the first shell 110 are dot-shaped and densely distributed. The cross-sectional shape of the convex portions is star-shaped, and the spaces between adjacent convex portions are concave portions. This makes the outer side surface 116 of the first shell 110 present several star-shaped patterns, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0045] Of course, the cross section of the convex portion may also be a square, a triangle or other polygonal shape, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0046] As some other embodiments, for example, the first front panel 111 is set as a double-layer plate structure set in the front and back, and the two layers are hinged. When the two layers are attached, the total thickness of the first front panel 111 is larger, showing the superimposed colors of the front and back side panels. When the front layer is lifted to reveal the rear layer, the thickness of each layer is relatively thin, and each shows its own color.

[0047] Embodiment 4: In this embodiment, in some embodiments of the present application, the second shell 120 is made of infrared-transmissive resin, and a recessed portion 127 is formed on its inner side surface. An infrared sensing element 200 is provided in the recessed portion 127. The recessed portion 127 includes a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall. The bottom wall of the recessed portion 127 is located on the outside of the infrared sensing element 200, and the emitting end of the infrared sensing element 200 faces the bottom wall of the recessed portion 127.

[0048] Specifically, the emitting end face of the infrared sensing element 200 fits snugly against the bottom wall of the recess 127, and the circumferential side surfaces of the infrared sensing element 200 fit snugly against the circumferential side walls of the recess 127. This ensures that the infrared sensing element 200 is accurately and reliably positioned when placed within the recess 127, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the infrared sensing element 200. Specifically, after the infrared sensing element 200 is placed within the recess 127, it can be secured within the recess 127 by dispensing glue around the perimeter. Alternatively, a plurality of clips can be spaced around the mouth of the recess 127 to secure the infrared sensing element 200 within the recess 127.

[0049] The infrared sensing element 200 is installed in the recessed portion 127, which can realize the hidden installation of the infrared sensing element 200 and avoid exposure, effectively preventing the infrared sensing element 200 from being exposed and damaged, thereby improving the waterproof effect and aesthetic appearance; similarly, there is no need to set up additional mounting components and process mounting holes on the second shell 120 to install the infrared sensing element 200, which has good integration effect and high production efficiency; in addition, the setting of the recessed portion 127 can correspondingly reduce the wall thickness of the corresponding part of the second shell 120, and has good light transmittance, which can meet the requirements of infrared penetration and ensure the normal operation of the infrared sensing element 200.

[0050] Furthermore, the recessed portion 127 can be provided on the second front panel 121 or the second side panel 122 of the second housing 120. The bottom wall thickness a of the recessed portion 127 is preferably 0.1-0.5 mm, so as to meet the infrared transmission requirements of the infrared sensing element 200 while ensuring a certain structural strength.
