Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic device technology, specifically relating to a wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous upgrading of technologies such as VR, AR, and XR, head-mounted display devices have become a hot development project for various smart electronic device manufacturers. Currently, display devices based on head-mounted VR glasses have become the mainstream in the market. In order to maintain a high-quality wearing experience during use and ensure that users can continuously immerse themselves in VR content for longer periods of time, VR manufacturers have made various optimizations and improvements to the devices, starting from ergonomics, skin-friendly materials, and heat dissipation structures.
[0003] Currently, most head-mounted display devices feature light shields around the eyes to prevent light leakage and improve the user experience. Existing light shields typically use skin-friendly fabrics and memory elastic materials. The advantage is that the memory elastic material automatically conforms to the shape of the face under pressure, completely blocking light around the eyes, while the skin-friendly fabric reduces discomfort. However, the disadvantage is that after prolonged use, the temperature of the skin area under the shield increases, making it prone to sweating. This can lead to oxygen deficiency, redness, and itching in the pressure-bearing area, affecting user experience and skin health. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application aims to provide a wearable device that at least addresses the problems of existing wearable devices affecting user experience or skin health.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0006] This application provides a wearable device, including a device body and a wearable component. When the wearable device is in a wearable state, the wearable component is attached to the wearer. The wearable component includes at least two protective components. The protective components are movably disposed on the device body between a first state and a second state. When the protective components are in the first state, they are close to the wearer. When the protective components are in the second state, they are far away from the wearer. The at least two protective components can move alternately between the first state and the second state.
[0007] In the embodiments of this application, by providing at least two protective members on the main body of the device that can alternate between a first state and a second state, when one protective member is close to or abuts against the wearer, the other protective member can detach from the wearer, thereby switching the contact position between the wearer and the wearer's skin. This can prevent one protective member from continuously squeezing the skin of a fixed area, thus avoiding affecting the user experience or skin health. Users can relax the pressure on their skin in time, greatly improving the user experience and reducing the impact on skin health.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0038] The wearable device 100 according to an embodiment of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the wearable device 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a device body 10 and a wearable component 20.
[0040] Specifically, when the wearable device is in a wearing state, the wearable component 20 is attached to the wearer. The wearable component 20 includes at least two protective components, which are movably disposed on the device body 10 between a first state and a second state. When the protective components are in the first state, they are close to the wearer, and when the protective components are in the second state, they are away from the wearer. The at least two protective components can move alternately between the first state and the second state.
[0041] In other words, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the wearable device 100 according to an embodiment of this application mainly consists of two parts: a device body 10 and a wearable component 20. The device body 10 constitutes the main body of the wearable device 100, and can be, for example, the structure of an AR, VR, or XR device that can realize the main functions. The device body 10 may have a wearable space to directly accommodate the wearer. The wearable component 20 is disposed on the device body 10 and constitutes an auxiliary structure with auxiliary functions for the device body 10, such as the strap of a watch, the housing of a VR headset, or the case of a watch. When the wearable device 100 is a VR head-mounted display, the wearable component 20 can be a light shield structure that can block light from the device body 10. Depending on the wearer, the wearable device 100 can also be other wearable smart terminal devices that come into contact with the user's skin, such as rings, bracelets, watches, helmets, etc. The structure of the wearable component 20 can be appropriately adjusted according to the function of the corresponding device body 10.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the wearable component 20 includes at least two protective components. In this application, a detailed description is provided using a first protective component 21 and a second protective component 23 as an example. The first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 respectively constitute movable structures capable of contacting or detaching from the skin of the wearer. When the first protective component 21 is in a first state, it can approach the wearer, i.e., it can adhere to the skin, thereby providing protection. When the first protective component 21 is in a second state, it can move away from the wearer, i.e., it can detach from the skin, thereby relieving pressure on the skin. Correspondingly, when the second protective component 23 is in a third state, it can approach the wearer, i.e., it can adhere to the skin, thereby providing protection. When the second protective component 23 is in a fourth state, it can move away from the wearer, i.e., it can detach from the skin, thereby relieving pressure on the skin. The third state of the second protective component 23 corresponds to the first state of the first protective component 21, and the fourth state of the second protective component 23 corresponds to the second state of the first protective component 21.
[0043] Therefore, the wearable device 100 according to the embodiments of this application, by providing a first protective member 21 and a second protective member 23 that can be switched on the device body 10, when one protective member is close to or abuts against the wearer, the other protective member can detach from the wearer, thereby switching the contact position between the wearer 20 and the wearer's skin. This can prevent one protective member from continuously squeezing the skin of a fixed area, which would affect the user experience or skin health. Users can relax the pressure on their skin in time, which greatly improves the user experience and reduces the impact on skin health.
[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, the wearable component 20 further includes a flexible material component 25, which is disposed on the device body 10. The flexible material component 25 has a plurality of protective parts suitable for contacting the wearer, and each protective component corresponds to the position of at least one protective part to drive the corresponding protective part.
[0045] In other words, when the protective component includes a first protective component 21 and a second protective component 23, the flexible material component 25 is provided with a first protective portion 251 and a second protective portion 252 corresponding to the positions of the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23, respectively. The first protective component 21 corresponds to the first protective portion 251 so that the first protective portion 251 can contact or detach from the wearer. When the first protective component 21 is in a first state, the first protective portion 251 contacts the wearer; when the first protective component 21 is in a second state, the first protective portion 251 detaches from the wearer. Similarly, the second protective component 23 corresponds to the second protective portion 252 so that the second protective portion 252 can contact or detach from the wearer. When the second protective component 23 is in a third state, the second protective portion 252 contacts the wearer; when the second protective component 23 is in a fourth state, the second protective portion 252 detaches from the wearer.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wearable component 20 is also provided with a flexible material component 25 that can be elastically deformed. The flexible material component 25 is provided with a first protective part 251 and a second protective part 252 that can respectively contact the skin. The position of the first protective part 251 corresponds to the position of the first protective component 21, and the position of the second protective part 252 corresponds to the position of the second protective component 23.
[0047] In other words, the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 do not come into direct contact with the skin, but rather through the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 to achieve the protective function. The flexible material component 25 can be made of a material suitable for contact with the skin, while the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 can be made of a rigid material with a certain rigidity. The movement of the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 can respectively drive the movement of the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252, thereby achieving contact and separation with the skin.
[0048] Specifically, when the first protective component 21 is in the first state, it is close to the wearer, allowing the first protective part 251 to contact the skin. When the first protective component 21 is in the second state, it is away from the wearer, and the first protective part 251 can return to its initial state under the action of elastic force, thereby detaching from the skin. Correspondingly, when the second protective component 23 is in the third state, it is close to the wearer, allowing the second protective part 252 to contact the skin. When the second protective component 23 is in the fourth state, it is away from the wearer, and the second protective part 252 can return to its initial state under the action of elastic force, thereby detaching from the skin.
[0049] It should also be noted that the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 can be located in different areas of the flexible material part 25, and both can be movable, such as telescopic or movable, so as to provide protection for the main body of the device 10. This allows the device to come into contact with different areas of the skin in different states without affecting the normal use of the wearable device 100.
[0050] Therefore, by providing a flexible material 25 between the first protective element 21 and the second protective element 23 and the skin, direct contact between the first protective element 21 and the second protective element 23 and the skin can be avoided, thus improving the user experience.
[0051] According to some embodiments of this application, the flexible material part 25 is a sheet structure corresponding to the shape of the wearer, each protective part is an annular structure extending circumferentially along the flexible material part, and at least one protective part is located on the outer periphery of another protective part.
[0052] In other words, the shape of the flexible material component 25 can be appropriately adjusted according to the usage scenario of the main body 10 and the wearing part of the wearer, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the wearable device 100 is a VR head-mounted display device, the shape of the flexible material part 25 is designed as a rectangular structure that can fit the user's eye area. Correspondingly, the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 are also formed as ring structures, and the first protective part 251 can be located in the inner ring of the second protective part 252.
[0053] Therefore, the flexible material component 25 of this structure can better adapt to the wearing area of the wearable device 100, thereby improving the user experience while ensuring the protective effect.
[0054] Optionally, in some specific embodiments of this application, the protective member is an annular structure corresponding to the shape of the protective part, and at least one protective member is located on the outer periphery of another protective member.
[0055] In other words, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The shape of the first protective member 21 corresponds to the shape of the first protective part 251, and the shape of the second protective member 23 corresponds to the shape of the second protective part 252, that is, both are formed into a ring structure. This structural design allows the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 to apply pressure evenly to their respective first protective parts 251 and second protective parts 252 when they are in motion, thereby ensuring that the force applied to the first protective parts 251 and the second protective parts 252 is uniform and avoiding local pressure that would compress the skin and affect the user experience.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, the wearable device 20 also includes a drive member that can be connected to the protective device to drive the protective device to move.
[0057] Specifically, when the protective component includes a first protective component 21 and a second protective component 23, the driving component includes a first driving component 22 and a second driving component 24. The first driving component 22 can cooperate with the first protective component 21 to control the movement of the first protective component 21, and the second driving component 24 can cooperate with the second protective component 23 to control the movement of the second protective component 23. The first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 can select appropriate states according to usage needs, thereby switching the contact area between the wearable component 20 and the skin and relaxing the pressure-bearing skin.
[0058] The wearable component 20 also includes a detector 26, which is disposed on the flexible material component 25 and connected to the drive component. The detector 26 detects the contact state between the protective part and the contact part of the wearer and controls the movement of the drive component according to the contact state.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, taking the protective components including the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 as an example, multiple ventilation holes 253 can be provided at corresponding positions on the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252. The ventilation holes 253 can be located at the top corners of the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252, thereby increasing the breathability of the area of the skin under greater pressure. A detector 26 can be provided near the ventilation holes 253 on the flexible material component 25. The detector 26 can also be located at other positions on the flexible material component 25. The detector 26 can detect conditions such as stuffiness and sweating of the skin and promptly feed back the detection information to the first driving component 22 and the second driving component 24. Thus, the first driving component 22 and the second driving component 24 control the movement of the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23, automatically switching the contact between the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 and the skin, relaxing the skin under pressure.
[0060] It should be noted that the detector 26 can be used to sense the temperature, humidity, pressure and other conditions of the area where the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 are in contact with the skin. Multiple detectors 26 are arranged at multiple points. When in use, the detector 26 is close to the skin and can continuously detect the wearing status of the skin, thereby controlling the activity of the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 in a timely manner.
[0061] Therefore, by setting up detector 26, the pressure of the skin pressure area can be detected and fed back in a timely manner, thereby controlling the activity of the first drive component 22 and the second drive component 24 in a timely manner. Without the need for manual adjustment by the user, the wearable component 20 can automatically switch the contact state with the skin, effectively improving the user experience.
[0062] Optionally, in some specific embodiments of this application, the flexible material component 25 includes: a memory material layer 254 and a skin-friendly material layer 255.
[0063] The memory material layer 254 is located on one side close to the first protective member 21 or the second protective member 23, the skin-friendly material layer 255 is located on the side of the memory material layer 254 away from the first protective member 21 or the second protective member 23, and the detector 26 is located between the memory material layer 254 and the skin-friendly material layer 255.
[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the flexible material component 25 is a flexible structure having at least a memory material layer 254 and a skin-friendly material layer 255. The memory material layer 254 automatically conforms to the shape of the wearer's skin after being compressed, ensuring effective skin contact. The skin-friendly material layer 255 directly contacts the skin and can be made of skin-friendly materials, thereby reducing the user's discomfort and improving the user experience. The detection component 26 is located between the memory material layer 254 and the skin-friendly material layer 255. While ensuring the normal use of the flexible material component 25, it is easy to assemble and can be placed as close to the skin as possible, improving detection accuracy.
[0065] According to some embodiments of this application, the wearable component 20 further includes a connector that connects the driving component and the protective component, and the driving component can retract the connector to drive the protective component. When the protective component includes a first protective component 21 and a second protective component 23, the connector includes a first connector 27 and a second connector 28. The first connector 27 connects the first driving component 22 and the first protective component 21, and the first driving component 22 can retract the first connector 27 to drive the first protective component 21. The second connector 28 connects the second driving component 24 and the second protective component 23, and the second driving component 24 can retract the second connector 28 to drive the second protective component 23.
[0066] Specifically, the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 are both located close to the equipment body 10, while the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 are located away from the equipment body 10, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 can be disposed on the side of the wearable part of the wearable device 100 away from the main body 10. The first driving member 22 and the first protective member 21 are connected and driven by the first connector 27, and the second driving member 24 and the second protective member 23 are connected and driven by the second connector 28.
[0067] Therefore, by setting the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 at a position away from the main body 10 of the equipment, the influence of the driving structure on the structure of the main body 10 of the equipment can be reduced, thereby reasonably controlling the volume of the main body 10 of the equipment.
[0068] Optionally, in some specific embodiments of this application, the wearable component 20 further includes a winch connected to a drive member for being driven by the drive member, and a connector wound around the winch for being wound and unwound by the winch. When the connector includes a first connector 27 and a second connector 28, the winch also correspondingly includes a first winch 221 and a second winch 241. Specifically, the first winch 221 is connected to the first drive member 22 for being driven by the first drive member 22, the first connector 27 is wound around the first winch 221 for being wound and unwound by the first winch 221, the second winch 241 is connected to the second drive member 24 for being driven by the second drive member 24, and the second connector 28 is wound around the second winch 2241 for being wound and unwound by the second winch 241.
[0069] In other words, such as Figure 5 As shown, the operation of the first drive unit 22 in raising and lowering the first connecting member 27 can be achieved by the first winch 221, and the operation of the second drive unit 24 in raising and lowering the second connecting member 28 can be achieved by the second winch 241. Figure 6 As shown, when the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 rotates counterclockwise, it can tighten the first connecting member 27 or the second connecting member 28, thereby causing the first protective member 21 or the second protective member 23 to move. Figure 7 As shown, when the first winch 221 rotates counterclockwise, the first connecting member 27 is tightened by the first winch 221, thereby causing the first protective member 21 to press against the first protective part 251 to move and press against the skin. Figure 8 As shown, when the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 rotates clockwise, it can cause the first connecting member 27 or the second connecting member 28 to loosen, so that the first protective member 21 or the second protective member 23 is no longer under the tension of the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 and can freely loosen its contact with the skin.
[0070] Alternatively, the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 can be coupled with the first drive unit 22 or the second drive unit 24 in a manner that combines a motor with the winch, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the first driving component 22 and the second driving component 24 can be motors with gears. The first winch 221 or the second winch 241 meshes with the gears and can be driven by the motor. When the motor stops rotating, the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 can be locked, realizing the self-locking function of the first winch 221 or the second winch 241. When the motor is running, the first winch 221 or the second winch 241 automatically unlocks and moves synchronously with the motor.
[0071] Therefore, by setting up a winch and a drive unit to work together, the wearable part 20 can alternately contact the skin. This structure is reasonably designed, easy to assemble, does not affect the structure and normal use of the main body 10 of the device, and can effectively control the manufacturing cost.
[0072] According to some embodiments of this application, the first connector 27 and the second connector 28 are elastic bands, the two ends of the first connector 27 are respectively connected to the first protective member 21, and the middle part of the first connector 27 is wound around the first winch 221; the two ends of the second connector 28 are respectively connected to the second protective member 23, and the middle part of the second connector 28 is wound around the second winch 241.
[0073] In other words, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first connector 27 and the second connector 28 can each be an elastic band with elastic force, and the two ends of the first connector 27 and the second connector 28 are respectively connected to the corresponding first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23. The middle parts of the first connector 27 and the second connector 28 are respectively wound around the corresponding first winch 221 and the second winch 241. Accordingly, the first winch 221 and the second winch 241 can be respectively located on the side away from the main body 10 of the device. The connection structure of the first connector 27 and the second connector 28 can correspond to the wearing structure of the wearable device 100, so that the usage state of the wearable device 20 can be switched without affecting the normal wearing of the user. This not only does not affect the shape of the wearable device 100 and reduces the space occupied in the internal space of the main body 10 of the device, but also effectively controls the manufacturing cost of the product.
[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in some specific embodiments of this application, the wearable component 20 further includes an elastic component. The elastic component is disposed between the protective component and the device body 10, with its first end connected to the protective component and its second end connected to the device body 10. When the connecting component includes a first connecting component 27 and a second connecting component 28, the elastic component also correspondingly includes a first elastic component 271 and a second elastic component 281. Specifically, the first elastic component 271 is disposed between the first protective component 21 and the device body 10, with its first end connected to the first protective component 21 and its second end connected to the device body 10. The second elastic component 281 is disposed between the second protective component 23 and the device body 10, with its first end connected to the first protective component 21 and its second end connected to the device body 10.
[0075] In other words, a first elastic element 271 is connected between the first protective element 21 and the equipment body 10, and a second elastic element 281 is connected between the second protective element 23 and the equipment body 10. Taking the first elastic element 271 as an example, the first elastic element 271 can be stretched when the first protective element 21 is driven by the first driving element 22, and when the first driving element 22 releases the force exerted on the first protective element 21, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the first elastic member 271 can pull the first protective member 21, so that the corresponding first protective part 251 is freed from the pressure on the skin.
[0076] Therefore, by setting an elastic structure between the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 and the main body of the equipment 10, the first protective member 21 or the second protective member 23 can be automatically pulled back without the force of the first driving member 22 or the second driving member 24, thus achieving separation from the skin.
[0077] In some other specific embodiments of this application, the protective member is provided with a rack extending in a first direction, and the driving member is provided with a gear, which meshes with the rack to drive the protective member. When the protective member includes a first protective member 21 and a second protective member 23, the rack correspondingly includes a first rack 211 and a second rack 231, that is, the first protective member 21 is provided with a first rack 211 extending in the first direction, the second protective member 23 is provided with a second rack 231 extending in the first direction, the first driving member 22 is provided with a first gear, which meshes with the first rack to drive the first protective member 21, and the second driving member 24 is provided with a second gear, which meshes with the second rack to drive the second protective member 23.
[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 are respectively provided with a linkage structure adapted to the driving structure. That is, the first protective member 21 is provided with a first rack 211, and the second protective member 23 is provided with a second rack 231. The first rack 211 and the second rack 231 extend along a first direction. The first direction can be the direction of movement of the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 squeezing and detaching from the skin. The first rack 211 and the second rack 231 are respectively provided with a plurality of teeth spaced apart along the first direction. The first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 are respectively provided with corresponding gear structures. Each gear can cooperate with the corresponding teeth to drive the corresponding first rack 211 and the second rack 231 to move along the first direction, so as to realize the contact and detachment of the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 from the skin.
[0079] Optionally, the first rack 211 and the second rack 231 can be movably extended into the main body 10 of the equipment, and the first drive member 22 and the second drive member 24 are respectively disposed on the main body 10 of the equipment.
[0080] In other words, one end of the first rack 211 and the second rack 231 are respectively connected to the corresponding first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23, and the other end of the first rack 211 and the second rack 231 extend into the equipment body 10. The equipment body 10 is provided with receiving grooves corresponding to the positions of the first rack 211 and the second rack 231, and is also provided with a structure for installing the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24.
[0081] Therefore, by simultaneously setting the first rack 211 and the second rack 231 structure, and cooperating with the first drive member 22 and the second drive member 24 with gears, precise control of the position of the first protective member 21 and the second protective member 23 can be achieved, and the switching process of the two positions is more stable.
[0082] It should also be noted that the switching of the movable positions of the first protective component 21 and the second protective component 23 can be achieved by motor drive, or by other means such as pneumatic, hydraulic, or linkage, which will not be described in detail here.
[0083] The following is combined Figures 11 to 13 The working process of a wearable device 100 according to an embodiment of this application is described in detail.
[0084] Taking wearable device 100 as a head-mounted display device as an example, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the wearable display device 100 is in its initial state, the second protective member 23 is closer to the head, and the first protective part 21 is relatively farther away from the head, thereby squeezing the second protective part 252 of the outer ring of the flexible protective part 25 to fit against the skin. At this time, the area where the flexible protective part 25 fits against the skin is as follows: Figure 11The area shown by the black frame on the right side of the middle section can achieve a light leakage prevention effect.
[0085] When the detection element 26 detects that the temperature, pressure, or humidity at the skin contact point of the second protective part 252 exceeds a set parameter, the detection element 26 controls the first driving element 22 to start operating, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the first driving member 22 drives the first winch 221 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby tightening the first connecting member 27, causing the first protective member 21 to move towards the skin. The first protective member 21 presses against the first protective part 251, causing the first protective part 251 to press firmly against the skin. At this time, as... Figure 12 As shown in the image on the right, the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252 simultaneously compress the skin.
[0086] Next, the second drive member 24 drives the second winch 241 to rotate clockwise, thereby releasing the second connecting member 28. After the tension of the second winch 241 decreases, the second elastic member 281 pulls the second connecting member 28 along... Figure 12 As the middle arrow points, the second connector 28 moves the second protective member 23 away from the skin, thereby reducing the force exerted on the second protective part 252 by the second protective member 23. Under the action of elastic force, the second protective part 252 returns to its initial position, thus detaching from contact with the skin. At this time, as... Figure 12 As shown, even when only the first protective part 251 comes into contact with the skin, it can still achieve the effect of preventing light leakage.
[0087] When it is necessary to switch the usage status of the first protective part 251 and the second protective part 252, the first driving member 22 and the second driving member 24 can be controlled to perform reverse operation according to the above process, which will not be described in detail here.
[0088] In summary, the wearable device 100 according to the embodiments of this application, by providing a first protective member 21 and a second protective member 23 that can be switched on the device body 10, allows the other protective member to detach from the wearer when one protective member is close to or abuts against the wearer, thereby switching the contact position between the wearer 20 and the wearer's skin. This avoids one protective member continuously squeezing the skin of a fixed area, which could affect the user experience or skin health. Users can relax the pressure on their skin in time, greatly improving the user experience and reducing the impact on skin health.
