One end of the head support structure is connected to the head-mounted main body along its length, and the other end is suspended, with the suspended end of the head support structure extending to the back of the head.

[0005] The top of the headband body is provided with a storage slot, and the suspension end of the head support structure is provided with a placement platform; the battery compartment has at least a first horizontal state in which it is placed horizontally in the storage slot and a second horizontal state in which it is placed horizontally on the placement platform after being rotated 180 degrees.

[0006] The top support structure is provided with an anti-slip track; the connecting structure on one side of the battery compartment is provided with a motion guide, the motion guide is limited to the anti-slip track and can slide or roll along the extension direction of the anti-slip track, the motion guide and the anti-slip track cooperate to allow the battery compartment to switch between the first horizontal state and the second horizontal state.

[0007] Furthermore, the motion guide includes a rotating shaft fixed to the connecting structure and a roller rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft; the roller contacts the bottom surface of the anti-detachment track.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting groove adapted to the roller is provided on the bottom surface of the anti-slip track at the suspension end of the head support structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the head support structure includes a support body with an opening at the top, a sliding groove on the support body, and limiting portions at both ends of the support body along its length. The limiting portions have a first clearance opening that communicates with the sliding groove and is used to avoid the connecting structure. The top of the support body is provided with two limiting cover plates spaced apart to prevent the motion guide from disengaging from the sliding groove. A second clearance opening is formed between the two limiting cover plates to avoid the connecting structure. The sliding groove, the limiting portions, and the limiting cover plates form the anti-disengagement sliding track.

[0010] Furthermore, fixing parts are provided on both sides of one end of the support body, and the fixing parts are fixedly connected to the headgear body.

[0011] Furthermore, the headband body includes a shell and a face-fitting foam structure; the top of the shell is provided with the storage groove, and the side of the shell facing the face is provided with an installation port, one end of the support body is located in the installation port, and the fixing part is fixedly connected to the shell on the corresponding side of the installation port; the face-fitting foam structure is provided with an avoidance notch corresponding to the installation port.

[0012] Furthermore, the head support structure includes a first horizontal part, an arc-shaped support part adapted to the top of the head, and a second horizontal part connected in sequence;

[0013] The first horizontal section, the second horizontal section, and the arc-shaped support section are all connected by a circular arc transition; the first horizontal section is connected to the top of the headgear body, and one end of the second horizontal section is provided with the placement platform.

[0014] Furthermore, the battery compartment, which is in the first horizontal state, is rotated backward, and the battery compartment is disengaged from the storage slot;

[0015] A rotation clearance is provided between the battery compartment and the front and rear walls of the storage slot when the battery compartment is in the first horizontal state; or, the front wall of the storage slot is a concave arc guide surface and the rear wall is a convex arc guide surface; the front and rear sides of the battery compartment are respectively adapted to the concave arc guide surface and the convex arc guide surface.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a headband module, with support arms on both sides of the headband body; both ends of the headband module are detachably connected to the corresponding support arms, and the suspension end of the top support structure is located above the headband module.

[0017] Furthermore, the headband module has front and rear extending insertion interfaces at both ends, and one end of the support arm is inserted into the corresponding insertion interface.

[0018] The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above technical solution are as follows:

[0019] The VR headset of this invention includes a headset body, a battery compartment, and a top support structure. One end of the top support structure is connected to the top of the headset body along its length, and the other end is suspended, with the suspended end of the top support structure extending to the back of the head.

The battery compartment has at least a first horizontal state where it is placed horizontally in the storage slot and a second horizontal state where it is placed horizontally on the placement platform after being rotated 180 degrees. The top support structure has an anti-slip track. A motion guide is provided on a connecting structure on one side of the battery compartment. The motion guide is confined within the anti-slip track and can slide or roll along the extension direction of the anti-slip track. The motion guide cooperates with the anti-slip track to allow the battery compartment to switch between the first and second horizontal states.

[0020] When the user wears the device, the battery compartment inside the storage slot is transferred to the placement platform with the help of the motion guide and anti-slip track. This not only reduces the weight of the main body of the headband, but also adds counterweight to the head support structure at the back of the head after the transfer. This effectively reduces the pressure on the head caused by prolonged wear of the VR headband, reduces head fatigue, and improves the user's wearing experience. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Depend on Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, the basic embodiment of the present invention, which demonstrates the main concept, discloses a VR head-mounted device, including a head-mounted main body 1, a battery compartment 4, and a head support structure 2. One end of the head support structure 2 is connected to the head-mounted main body 1 along its length, and the other end is suspended, with the suspended end of the head support structure 2 extending to the back of the head. The top of the head-mounted main body 1 is provided with a storage groove 11, and the suspended end of the head support structure 2 is provided with a placement platform 3. The battery compartment 4 has at least a first horizontal state in which it is placed horizontally in the storage groove 11 and a second horizontal state in which it is placed horizontally on the placement platform 3 after being rotated 180 degrees. The head support structure 2 is provided with an anti-slip track 21. A motion guide 5 is provided on the connecting structure on one side of the battery compartment 4. The motion guide 5 is confined within the anti-slip track 21 and can slide or roll along the extension direction of the anti-slip track 21. The motion guide 5 cooperates with the anti-slip track 21 to allow the battery compartment 4 to switch between the first horizontal state and the second horizontal state.

[0037] When the user wears and uses the device, the movement guide 5 and the anti-slip track 21 work together to transfer the battery compartment 4 in the storage slot 11 onto the placement platform 3 (see [link]). Figure 7 and Figure 10 This not only reduces the weight of the headband 1, but also adds counterweight to the head support structure 2 at the back of the head, effectively reducing the pressure on the head caused by prolonged wear of the VR headset, reducing head fatigue, and improving the user's wearing experience. Furthermore, the head support structure 2 not only supports the headband 1 at the top of the head, but also serves as a track for the movement of the battery compartment 4; one structure performs multiple functions, and expanding the functionality based on the existing structure is beneficial for the development of VR headsets towards lightweight and miniaturized designs.

[0038] The storage slot 11 extends through the headband body 1 on both sides, and the depth of the slot is equal to the thickness of the battery compartment 4. This facilitates the placement and removal of the battery compartment 4 while ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The battery compartment 4 includes a casing and a battery housed within the casing. A conductive wire is provided between the battery and the circuit board inside the headband body 1, and this conductive wire is arranged within the anti-slip track 21.

[0039] One way to remove the battery compartment 4 from the storage slot 11 is by rotation; for example, in some embodiments (such as...). Figure 7 As shown), a rotation clearance gap is provided between the battery compartment 4 in the first horizontal state and the front and rear walls of the storage groove 11; when the battery compartment 4 in the first horizontal state is rotated backward, the battery compartment 4 can detach from the storage groove 11 and can slide or roll on the anti-detachment slide 21 in an inclined or vertical state. Figure 8 and Figure 9(The figure shows the vertical position). In some embodiments (not shown in the figure), the front wall of the storage slot 11 is a concave arc guide surface, and the rear wall is a convex arc guide surface; the front and rear sides of the battery compartment 4 are respectively adapted to contact the concave arc guide surface and the convex arc guide surface; this not only enables the battery compartment 4 to be positioned in the storage slot 11, but also avoids interference when the battery compartment 4 is rotated out of the storage slot 11. In addition, the shape of the storage slot 11 and the battery compartment 4 is not unique, as long as it can ensure that the battery compartment 4, when rotated to the rear and in the first horizontal state, can be separated from the storage slot 11 without interfering with the slot wall surface of the storage slot 11.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the connecting structure includes two spaced-apart connecting ears 41; the motion guide 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 fixed on the two connecting ears 41 and a roller 52 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 51 between the two connecting ears; the roller 52 contacts the bottom surface of the anti-detachment track 21; the rolling method has less friction and smoother operation compared to the sliding method. In another specific embodiment (not shown in the figure), the connecting structure includes one connecting ear, and the motion guide includes a rotating shaft fixed on the connecting ear and two rollers rotatably mounted on the rotating shafts on both sides of the connecting ear.

[0041] In another specific embodiment (not shown in the figure), the connection structure includes a hinge ear and a connecting seat hinged to the hinge ear. A motion guide is disposed on the connecting seat. The motion guide includes a rotating shaft fixed on the connecting seat and a roller rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft. Due to the hinged relationship between the connecting seat and the hinge ear, there is no need for a rotational avoidance design between the storage slot 11 and the battery compartment 4. The battery compartment 4 can be taken out vertically upward from the storage slot 11 (the way the battery compartment 4 is taken out from the storage slot 11 can be changed to vertical removal). Then, it can slide or roll on the anti-detachment slide 21 in an inclined or vertical state.

[0042] In another specific embodiment, the head support structure 2 includes a support body 23 with an opening at the top. The support body 23 is provided with a groove 24. The two ends of the support body 23 along the length direction are respectively provided with limiting parts 25. The limiting parts 25 are provided with a first clearance opening 26 that communicates with the groove 24 and is used to avoid connecting structures (such as connecting ears 41). The top of the support body 23 is provided with two limiting cover plates 27 at intervals to prevent the motion guide 5 from disengaging from the groove 24. A second clearance opening 28 that avoids connecting structures is formed between the two limiting cover plates 27. The groove 24, the limiting parts 25 and the limiting cover plates 27 form an anti-disengagement slide 21.

[0043] The support body 23 has fixing parts 29 on both sides of one end, and the fixing parts 29 are fixedly connected to the headband body 1. The headband body 1 includes a shell 12 and a face-fitting foam structure 13; the top of the shell 12 has a storage groove 11, and the side of the shell 12 facing the face has an installation opening 121. One end of the support body 23 is located in the installation opening 121, and the fixing parts 29 are fixedly connected to the shell 12 on the corresponding side of the installation opening 121 (the fixing parts 29 are located inside the shell 12 and are covered); the face-fitting foam structure 13 has a clearance notch 131 corresponding to the installation opening 121 to avoid the installation of the support body 23.

[0044] The support body 23 includes a first horizontal section, an arc-shaped support section adapted to the top of the head, and a second horizontal section connected in sequence; the first horizontal section, the second horizontal section, and the arc-shaped support section are all connected by a rounded transition; the first horizontal section has fixing parts 29 on both sides, and the second horizontal section has a placement platform 3 at one end. Preferably, the support body 23, the fixing parts, and the placement platform 3 are integrally formed; this arrangement facilitates installation and improves the accuracy after installation.

[0045] Preferably, the bottom surface of the anti-detachment slide 21 (i.e., slide groove 24) at the suspension end of the top support structure 2 is provided with a limiting groove 22 that is adapted to the roller 52; when the roller 52 rolls into the limiting groove 22, the battery compartment 4 is rotated backward to the second horizontal state; this can ensure the accuracy of the placement position of the battery compartment 4 on the placement platform 3, and also ensure the stability and reliability of the battery compartment 4 when it is in the second horizontal state.

[0046] In some embodiments, the VR headset also includes a headband module 7, with support arms 6 on both sides of the headband body 1; both ends of the headband module 7 are detachably connected to the corresponding support arms 6, and the suspension end of the top support structure 2 is located above the headband module 7. In one specific embodiment, both ends of the headband module 7 are provided with first magnetic suction components, and the support arms 6 are provided with second magnetic suction components adapted to the first magnetic suction components. In other embodiments, both ends of the headband module 7 are provided with front-to-back extending insertion interfaces 711, and one end of the support arm 6 is inserted into the corresponding insertion interface 711. This allows for quick installation and removal of the headband module 7, and since the insertion or magnetic connection method requires external force, it ensures the stability and reliability of the headband module 7 after installation, and also facilitates disassembly when storing the headband module 7.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the headband module 7 includes a left headband 72, a right headband 73, and a headband length adjustment device 74; each end of the left headband 72 and the right headband 73 is provided with a connecting arm 71; the connecting arm 71 is provided with an insertion interface 711; the headband length adjustment device 74 includes a housing, a gear rotatably mounted inside the housing, a first rack structure disposed on the left headband 72, a second rack structure disposed on the right headband 73, and an adjustment knob disposed on the housing and fixedly connected to the gear; the first rack structure and the second rack structure extend into the housing and are located above and below the gear and mesh with the gear. By rotating the adjustment knob, the left headband 72 and the right headband 73 can be tightened or loosened to adapt to the heads of different users.

[0048] The working principle is explained below based on the above embodiments:

[0049] Depend on Figures 7 to 10 As shown, when a user wears and uses the VR headset, the battery compartment 4, which is in a first horizontal position, is rotated backward to detach it from the storage slot 11. Then, it rolls vertically (or at an angle) on the anti-detachment track 21 using the rollers 52. When the rollers 52 roll into the limiting groove 22, the battery compartment 4 is released to a second horizontal position (at which point it is supported by the placement platform 3). Conversely, when the VR headset is not in use, the battery compartment 4 can be moved back into the storage slot 11 using the motion guide 5 and the anti-detachment track 21; and the headband module 7 can be removed from the headset body 1 in the front-back direction.

[0050] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive or parallel manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0051] In summary, this invention effectively reduces the pressure on the head caused by prolonged wear of VR headsets, reduces head fatigue, and improves the user's wearing experience; it is also adaptable to different users.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
