Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of optical imaging technology. More specifically, the embodiments of the present application relate to an optical module and a wearable device. Background Art
[0002] Virtual reality (VR) technology integrates computer, electronic information, and simulation technologies. Its fundamental implementation involves computer-simulated virtual environments, creating a sense of immersion. With the continuous advancement of social productivity and science and technology, demand for VR technology is growing rapidly across all industries. In recent years, consumer expectations for VR products and user experience have become increasingly demanding, and demand is expanding across a growing number of consumer groups. These groups include those who wear glasses for myopia and those who don't. To cater to these diverse consumer groups, VR products must cater to their specific needs.
[0003] Traditional VR products lack the ability to accommodate myopia lenses. Wearing VR products can be uncomfortable for myopic users, and there's even the possibility that the frames of their glasses will interfere with the inner frame of the VR product, preventing them from wearing the product. If myopic users don't wear glasses and instead wear VR products, the image clarity they see will decrease, preventing them from experiencing the immersive VR experience. This also results in a poor user experience and a failure to meet the needs of different consumer groups. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.
[0063] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.
[0064] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0065] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0066] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0067] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an optical module is provided, which is suitable for use in a wearable device. The wearable device, for example, includes a head-mounted display (HMD). The head-mounted display device, for example, includes a VR headset. VR headsets, for example, include VR glasses or VR helmets, and are not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
[0068] The optical module provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2The optical module includes: a lens barrel 6, an imaging lens group 5, an eye tracking component 1 and a myopia lens 2. The imaging lens group 5 is arranged in the lens barrel 6. The edge of the eye tracking component 1 includes a trimming section 102 and a non-trimming section 103, and the non-trimming section 103 is in an arc shape. The eye tracking component 1 is arranged at one end of the lens barrel 6. The middle part of the eye tracking component 1 is hollowed out to form a lens assembly area 104, and a sinking surface 105 is provided on the eye tracking component 1 along the circumference. The sinking surface 105 includes a first sinking portion and a second sinking portion; wherein the second sinking portion has a target height H, and the height J of the eye tracking component 1 and the target height H satisfy the following relationship: J=3H. The myopic lens 2 is arranged in the lens assembly area 104, the edge portion of the myopic lens 2 overlaps the first resting portion, the side portion of the myopic lens 2 rests on the second resting portion, and a magnetic connection is set between the myopic lens 2 and the eye tracking component 1, so that the myopic lens 2 can be installed and switched with the optical module by magnetic attraction.
[0069] The optical module provided in the above-described embodiment of the present application incorporates a replaceable myopia lens 2. By replacing the myopia lens 2, the user's vision can be matched to the target user's vision. The myopia lens 2 can be conveniently and quickly attached to the optical module using a magnetic attachment method. Specifically, the myopia lens 2 is detachably mounted on the eye-tracking assembly 1 disposed at one end of the lens barrel 6.
[0070] For example, if the first target user has 500-degree myopia, a 500-degree myopia lens 2 can be selected and magnetically mounted on the optical module. The first target user can wear the optical module directly without wearing his own myopia glasses.
[0071] For another example, if the second target user has a myopia degree of 700 degrees, the user can choose to remove the 500-degree myopia lens 2 from the optical module and magnetically mount the 700-degree myopia lens 2 on the optical module. In this way, the degree of the myopia lens 2 is switched, so as to match the second target user with a 700-degree requirement. On this basis, the second target user can also use the optical module directly without wearing his own myopia glasses.
[0072] The present embodiment provides an optical module with a myopia lens that can be freely switched based on the needs of the target user. Switching between lenses requires only replacing the lens itself, eliminating the need for installing other accessories. The myopia lens 2 is easy and quick to install and switch, enhancing the user experience.
[0073] According to the optical module provided in the embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The eye tracking assembly 1 is disposed at one end of the lens barrel 6. Specifically, when the optical module is in use, the eye tracking assembly 1 should be positioned close to the user's eyes. In this embodiment, the edge of the eye tracking assembly 1 is designed to have a trimming section 102 and a non-trimming section 103. The non-trimming section 103 is curved, while the trimming section 102 is straight. The trimming section 102 is designed to avoid areas such as the bridge of the nose and brow bone. This design improves user comfort when wearing the product.
[0074] The optical module proposed in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to, for example, VR devices. Specifically, in order to achieve specific functions, VR devices may need to track the user's eyes. When performing eye tracking, an image containing the user's eyes can be captured by a camera with a large field of view to further track the target user's eyes.
[0075] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the eye tracking component 1 and the myopic lens 2 are arranged at the end of the lens barrel 6 close to the human eye, so that the eye tracking component 1 can be as close to the target user's eyes as possible, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of eye tracking.
[0076] The eye tracking assembly 1 includes, for example, a support and an eye tracking device (such as a camera) disposed on the support. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support member is annular and includes an arc-shaped non-cutting edge segment and a straight-edge cutting edge segment. The eye tracking device includes, for example, an infrared light source and an eye tracking camera. The eye tracking device can be disposed on the cutting edge segment.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the myopia lens 2 is combined with the eye tracking assembly 1. On the one hand, both are suitable for being placed close to the human eye, and therefore are very suitable for being combined together. On the other hand, space can be formed in the eye tracking assembly 1 to install the lens, which does not increase the size of the optical module. Figure 3 The middle of the eye tracking component 1 is hollowed out to form a lens assembly area 104. The myopia lens 2 can be arranged in the lens assembly area 104.
[0078] In the examples of this application, see Figure 6 The eye tracking component 1 is provided with a circle of sinking surface 105 along the circumference, and the sinking surface 105 includes, for example, two parts, namely a first sinking part and a second sinking part. Figure 4The second resting portion is designed to have a target height H, which can accommodate / adapt to the height and thickness of the myopic lens 2. The height J of the eye tracking assembly 1 and the target height H are designed to satisfy: J = 3H. With this dimension design, the thickness of the myopic lens 2 is ensured not to be exposed above the height surface of the eye tracking assembly 1.
[0079] For example, see Figure 4 Regarding the resting surface 105, the first resting portion is designed to have a target width G, which can be used to support the edge of the myopic lens 2. The target width G is designed to be, for example, 1.5 mm. The second resting portion is designed to have a target height H, which is designed to be, for example, 1.55 mm. This size can accommodate myopic lenses 2 of various thicknesses. Within the above-mentioned size limits, the first and second resting portions can stably support myopic lenses 2 suitable for most myopic users.
[0080] Specifically, the higher the degree of myopia lenses, the thicker and heavier they are. The size of the above-mentioned sinking surface 105 is limited to support myopia lenses of 700 degrees or even higher, which can meet the usage needs of most users.
[0081] The embodiment of the present application provides an optical module, wherein an eye tracking assembly 1 is provided at the end of the lens barrel 6 close to the human eye, and the myopic lens 2 is provided on the eye tracking assembly 1. The myopic lens 2 can be installed and switched between the optical module in a simple manner. During the switching process, only the myopic lens 2 itself needs to be replaced, without the need to install other accessories. Installation and switching are convenient and quick, and removing the myopic lens 2 will not affect the appearance of the optical module at all. The entire optical module is applicable to a wide range of consumer groups, including those who wear myopic glasses and those who do not.
[0082] In some examples of this application, see Figure 7 A plurality of positioning posts 101 are circumferentially arranged on the non-cutting section 103 (ie, the arc section) of the eye tracking component 1, and the plurality of positioning posts 101 are distributed according to target angles.
[0083] The eye tracking component 1 needs to be connected to one end of the lens barrel 6 . In order to ensure smooth assembly of the eye tracking component 1 and the lens barrel 6 , a plurality of positioning posts 101 are provided on the eye tracking component 1 .
[0084] According to the above example of the present application, the positioning post 101 is located on the non-trimming section 103. This is because the camera of the eye tracking assembly 1 is located on the trimming section 102, and in order to avoid interference with the camera, the positioning post 101 is not located on the trimming section 102.
[0085] It should be noted that the shape of the positioning column 101 can be Figure 5 The inverted trapezoid (longitudinal section) shown in the figure may also be other shapes such as a triangle or a semicircle, as long as it can play a positioning role and is small in size. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0086] Optionally, when the number of the positioning posts 101 is set to three, see Figure 7 The three positioning posts 101 are respectively distributed on the non-cutting section 103 at an angle of 80°, 140°, and 140°, or the three positioning posts 101 are evenly distributed on the non-cutting section 103 at an angle of 120°.
[0087] Providing three positioning posts 101 on the eye tracking assembly 1 does not increase the manufacturing cost or the volume of the eye tracking assembly 1 , and is convenient for positioning, thereby facilitating smooth assembly of the eye tracking assembly 1 and the lens barrel 6 .
[0088] In some examples of this application, see Figures 8 to 10 A positioning hole 601 is provided at one end of the lens barrel 6 to which the eye tracking component 1 is connected, and the positioning hole 601 and the positioning column 101 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; when the eye tracking component 1 is connected to the lens barrel 6, the positioning column 101 on the eye tracking component 1 is correspondingly inserted into the positioning hole 601 on the lens barrel 6.
[0089] A positioning post 101 is provided on the eye tracking assembly 1. In order to ensure smooth assembly of the eye tracking assembly 1 and the lens barrel 6, a positioning hole 601 is designed at a corresponding position on one end surface of the lens barrel 6. Figure 8 It should be noted that the number of the positioning holes 601 is the same as the number of the positioning posts 101 , and the distribution angles are also the same.
[0090] For example, a plurality of positioning posts 101 are provided on the eye tracking assembly 1, see Figure 4 , considering the lightweight of the entire optical module, the volume of the module is minimized as much as possible. In the embodiment of this application, see Figure 5 The diameter B of the positioning post 101 is designed to be 0.8 mm, and the height C of the positioning post 101 is designed to be 0.6 mm.
[0091] In addition, considering the assembly accuracy and processing error, the size of the aperture E of the positioning hole 601 on the lens barrel 6 is designed to be 0.9 mm, and the size of the depth F of the positioning hole 601 is designed to be 0.65 mm, for example. Figure 10 As shown, to ensure that the positioning post 101 on the eye tracking assembly 1 can be smoothly installed into the positioning hole 601, the diameter of the positioning hole 601 is generally set to be 0.05mm-0.01mm larger than the diameter of the positioning post 101 during design. In some embodiments of the present application, the diameter of the positioning hole 601 is designed to be 0.1mm larger than the diameter of the positioning post 101, for example.
[0092] In some examples of this application, see Figures 11 to 13 The eye tracking assembly 1 is fixed to one end of the lens barrel 6 by a third double-sided adhesive tape 11. The third double-sided adhesive tape 11 is provided with an escape hole 1101 for circumventing the positioning column 101. Figure 4 There is a first contact width A between the non-trimming section 103 and the lens barrel 6, and there is a second contact width D between the trimming section 102 and the lens barrel 6, and the first contact width A is greater than the second contact width D.
[0093] By controlling the alignment of the positioning posts 101 on the eye-tracking assembly 1 and the positioning holes 601 on the lens barrel 6, precise positioning and a basic connection between the eye-tracking assembly 1 and the lens barrel 6 are achieved. Furthermore, the eye-tracking assembly 1 and the lens barrel 6 can be sealed and fixed together, for example, by gluing.
[0094] In the above example of the present application, the eye tracking component 1 and the lens barrel 6 can be fixed by double-sided tape. Specifically, the third double-sided tape 11 is introduced and pasted between the eye tracking component 1 and the lens barrel 6, see Figure 12 In addition, a hole 1101 is provided on the third double-sided adhesive tape 11 to avoid the positioning column 101, see Figure 13 , thus not affecting the positioning and assembly function between the positioning column 101 and the corresponding positioning hole 601.
[0095] In order to ensure that the eye tracking component 1 and the lens barrel 6 are firmly bonded and reliably stable, the contact area between the third double-sided tape 11 and the bonding surface of the eye tracking component 1 is as large as possible.
[0096] For example, in consideration of ensuring effective adhesion as much as possible and considering the lightweight of the module, the effective contact surface width left in the non-cut edge section 103 of the eye tracking component 1, that is, the first contact width A mentioned above, can be designed to be 1.7 mm. Figure 4The second contact width D on the trimming section 102 can be designed to be 0.95 mm, see Figure 7 .
[0097] In some examples of this application, see Figure 15 The edge of the myopic lens 2 is provided with a positioning notch 202; see Figure 14 The back side of the myopia lens 2 is provided with a first mounting groove 201 along the edge; Figure 16 and Figure 17 A first magnetic component 3 is fixedly installed in the first installation groove 201 . The first magnetic component 3 is annular and has an opening portion 301 that matches the positioning notch 202 .
[0098] In the solution provided in the embodiment of this application, see Figure 14 A circular groove, namely the aforementioned first mounting groove 201, is machined on the back of the myopic lens 2, and a first magnetic member 3 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 201. In other words, the design of embedding the first magnetic member 3 on the back of the myopic lens 2 does not increase the thickness of the myopic lens 2. Moreover, since the first magnetic member 3 is installed on the edge of the myopic lens 2, it does not affect the optical performance of the myopic lens 2 at all.
[0099] The first magnetic component 3 is, for example, an iron ring.
[0100] Alternatively, see Figure 16 and Figure 17 The first magnetic member 3 is fixed in the first mounting groove 201 by means of the first double-sided adhesive tape 4; Figure 18 The shape of the first double-sided tape 4 matches the shape of the first magnetic member 3. Figure 14 , the first mounting groove 201 has a first height K1, see Figure 18 and Figure 19 The first double-sided tape has a first thickness H1, the first magnetic member 3 has a second thickness H2, and the first height K1, the first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2 satisfy: K1 = 6×(H1+H2).
[0101] The back of the myopic lens 2 can be fixed to the first magnetic member 3 (such as an iron ring) by, for example, using double-sided tape (that is, the first double-sided tape 4 mentioned above). This fixing connection method is simple, low-cost and has good connection strength.
[0102] See also Figure 15The myopic lens 2 is designed with a positioning notch 202, which can be used for the installation and positioning of the first double-sided tape 4 and the first magnetic member 3. At the same time, it can also avoid the camera in the eye tracking component 1 to avoid interference.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the depth of the first mounting slot 201, i.e., height K1, is designed. Within the aforementioned dimensional limits, this ensures that the first magnetic member 3 does not protrude from the first mounting slot 201, ensuring good magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 3 and the eye tracking assembly 1. Furthermore, the thickness of the first magnetic member 3 and the first double-sided tape 4 can be adjusted appropriately to avoid increasing the weight and size of the entire module.
[0104] For example, a first mounting groove 201 is processed on the back of the myopia lens 2, see Figure 14 The width I of the first installation groove 201 is 1.5 mm, and the height K of the first installation groove 201 is 2.1 mm. The first installation groove 201 is used to install the first double-sided tape 4 and the first magnetic member 3. Figure 18 The thickness H1 of the first double-sided tape 4 is, for example, 0.1 mm, the thickness H2 of the first magnetic member 3 is, for example, designed to be 0.3 mm, and the width P1 is, for example, designed to be 1.5 mm, to ensure light weight and easy processing.
[0105] In some examples of this application, see Figure 20 The back of the eye tracking assembly 1 is provided with a second mounting groove 106, which is located on the non-cutting section 103 and arranged along the circumference. A second magnetic member 9 is fixedly provided in the second mounting groove 106, see Figure 22 The second magnetic member 9 is adapted to the shape of the first magnetic member 3 , and the magnetism of the second magnetic member 9 is opposite to that of the first magnetic member 3 .
[0106] The second mounting groove 106 can be used to mount the second magnetic member 9. The second magnetic member 9 and the first magnetic member 3 on the myopia lens 2 can form a magnetic attraction, thereby enabling the myopia lens 2 to be installed and switched by magnetic attraction.
