[0026] This application provides a wearable device for wearing on a user's head, which can switch between smart glasses and headphone functions. When using the wearable device, the user can adjust its position according to their functional needs, thereby achieving the functions of smart glasses or headphones.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application. Figures 6 to 9 Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of another wearable device according to an embodiment of this application. As shown, the wearable device may specifically include: a wearing member 10 and two bodies 20. The two bodies 20 are rotatably connected to both ends of the wearing member 10 to achieve switching between a first position and a second position. The body 20 is provided with a display module and a first audio module, and the wearing member 10 is provided with a second audio module. When the body 20 is in the first position, the two bodies 20 and the wearing member 10 surround each other to make the wearable device in glasses wearing mode. The display module is used to display media content, and the second audio module is used to output sound to realize the smart glasses function. When the body 20 is in the second position, the two bodies 20 are arranged opposite each other to make the wearable device in earphone wearing mode. The first audio module is used to output sound to realize the earphone function.

[0028] Specifically, the wearable device's wearing component 10 can be a headband that extends and bends along its length. This headband is elastic to adapt to different user skull shapes. The main body 20 is a shell with a receiving cavity for accommodating various circuit components. In practical applications, the headband can be made of an elastic, deformation-resistant material, the outer shell of the shell can be a rigid plastic shell, and the inner side can have an annular protective pad to simultaneously satisfy the practicality, durability, and comfort of the wearable device. The two ends of the headband are connected to two main bodies 20 to connect the wearable device as a whole. The two main bodies 20 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the headband, allowing the position of the two main bodies 20 relative to the headband to change. When the position of the two main bodies 20 relative to the headband changes, the two main bodies 20 can switch between a first position and a second position, thus making the wearable device suitable for the user to wear on the eyes or ears.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body 20 is equipped with a display module and a first audio module, while the wearable device 10 is equipped with a second audio module. When the main body 20 is in the first position, the two main bodies 20 and the wearable device 10 surround each other, and the wearable device is in glasses-wearing mode. The user can wear the wearable device 10 behind their head, so that the two main bodies 20 are in front of the user's eyes. The display module on the main body 20 and the second audio module on the wearable device 10 work, thus enabling the wearable device to function as smart glasses. When the main body 20 is in the second position, the two main bodies 20 are positioned opposite each other. In practical applications, the user can wear the wearable device on their ears, and the first audio module on the main body 20 works, thus enabling the wearable device to function as headphones. Therefore, the wearable device can switch between different functions by changing the positions of the two main bodies 20, which is convenient to operate, enriches the functionality of the wearable device, and enhances the user experience.

[0030] It should be noted that the display module set on the main body 20 may include one or more of the following: a display screen (not shown in the figure), a lens 24, and a camera 25. The display screen can be used to display images. The lens 24 is an optical module for realizing VR / AR and other technologies. It usually uses lenses to increase the viewing angle, magnify the image, and enhance the sense of depth. The camera 25 can be used to capture external environmental information and transmit the external information to the internal display screen for virtual + reality information synthesis, etc.

[0031] In addition, the wearable device also includes a power module, which can be set in the main body 20 or the wearable part 10. The power module is used to power the wearable device. The wearable part 10 is also provided with a circuit module for connecting the two main bodies so that the two main bodies can transmit data, audio and video signals, etc.

[0032] In this embodiment of the application, the first audio module is a first speaker 26. For example, the first speaker 26 may be a moving iron speaker, a moving coil speaker, or a piezoelectric speaker. The second audio module is a second speaker 27. For example, the second speaker 27 may be a diaphragm speaker or a bone conduction speaker.

[0033] Optionally, when the main body 20 is equipped with a camera 25, the camera 25 can be located on the outside of the housing to capture external information, and one camera 25 can be set on one main body 20. The cameras 25 on two main bodies 20 can be set to different types. For example, the camera 25 can be a camera with a photo-taking function or a camera with a range-measuring function to enrich the functions of the wearable device.

[0034] Furthermore, since the two main bodies 20 of the wearable device have a certain weight, when the user wears it around the eyes or ears, the two main bodies 20 are supported only by the wearing member 10. If the wearing member 10 is not secure enough, the main bodies 20 may slip down, affecting usability. Therefore, the wearing member 10 can be designed as a telescopic structure. By extending or retracting the wearing member 10, the securing force can be adjusted. Locking the wearing member 10 ensures its support and secureness. Alternatively, another auxiliary headband can be provided, connected to both sides of the wearing member 10. When the user wears the wearable device in front of the eyes, this auxiliary headband is positioned on top of the user's head, thus holding the two main bodies 20 in place and effectively preventing them from slipping due to gravity, thus affecting the user experience.

[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the two ends of the wearing member 10 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft 11.

[0036] Specifically, the pivots 11 at both ends of the wearable component 10 allow the two main bodies 20 to rotate freely, enabling switching between a first position and a second position. The pivots 11 connect the two main bodies 20 to the wearable component 10, making operation convenient and allowing users to easily switch the positions of the main bodies 20 to suit different functions. Simultaneously, the pivots 11 also provide deformation capabilities for the wearable device. Users can rotate the two main bodies 20 within the curved wearable component 10 using the pivots 11, resulting in a more compact structure and easier storage or carrying.

[0037] In this embodiment of the application, the body 20 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 disposed opposite to each other. At least a portion of the first end 21 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 11. The two bodies 20 rotate closer to each other to switch to the first position, or the two bodies 20 rotate further apart to switch to the second position.

[0038] Specifically, two bodies 20 are arranged opposite each other, with at least a portion of the first end 21 fitted onto the rotating shaft 11. The bodies 20 can rotate closer to each other or move further apart via the rotating shaft 11. When the two bodies 20 rotate closer to each other, they can switch to a first position for the user to wear on their eyes. When the two bodies 20 rotate further apart, they can switch to a second position for the user to wear on their ears.

[0039] In practical applications, the pivot 11 can be set as a limiting pivot. When the main body 20 switches to the first position or the second position, the limiting pivot can restrict the continued rotation of the main body 20, so that the main body 20 remains in the first position or the second position, thereby allowing the main body 20 to better fit the user's eyes or ears and enhance the user's wearing effect.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 are detachably connected; wherein, when the bodies 20 are in the first position, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 are connected, and when the bodies 20 are in the second position, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 are disconnected.

[0041] Specifically, the second end 22 is located on the body 20 away from the rotating shaft 11. When the bodies 20 rotate closer to each other to switch to the first position, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 also rotate closer. Understandably, the user can adjust the position of the two bodies 20 according to the functional requirements. The second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 are detachably connected. When the user needs to use the smart glasses function and rotates the two bodies 20 to the first position, the user can also connect the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 to ensure a tight connection between them, preventing the two bodies 20 from moving away from each other due to the failure of the limiting rotating shaft 11, and strengthening the connection effect between the two bodies 20.

[0042] In practical applications, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or plug-in to ensure the wearing effect of the wearable device in glasses wearing mode.

[0043] In this embodiment of the application, the second ends 22 of the two bodies 20 are provided with connecting portions 221, and the two bodies 20 are detachably connected through the connecting portions 221.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting portion 221 provided at the second end 22 of the two bodies 20 can be a snap-fit ​​portion or a plug-in portion, and the two bodies 20 are connected by snap-fitting the snap-fit ​​portion or by plug-in portion.

[0045] In this embodiment, one of the two connecting parts 221 is a buckle, and the other of the two connecting parts 221 is a slot. The buckle and the slot are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0046] Specifically, the buckle has a guide surface and a limiting surface. The guide surface is an inclined surface that guides the buckle as it moves into the slot, making it easier for the buckle to move into the slot. After the buckle moves into the slot, the limiting surface of the buckle abuts against the slot, thereby preventing the buckle from falling out of the slot and ensuring the snapping effect between the buckle and the slot.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, one of the two connecting parts 221 is a plug 2213, and the other of the two connecting parts 221 is a socket 2214 adapted to the plug 2213. The plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are detachably connected by plugging.

[0048] Specifically, the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are respectively directly mounted on one body 20. When the body 20 is in the first position, the user only needs to insert the plug 2213 into the socket 2214 to achieve the plug-in connection of the two bodies 20.

[0049] Understandably, this method of detachably connecting the two connecting parts 221 by snapping or plugging is simple and effective, and easy to disassemble. Users can easily connect or disconnect the two connecting parts 221. While facilitating operation, it enhances the connection effect between the two connecting parts 221, which helps the two bodies 20 maintain their position when in the first position, thus ensuring the wearing effect of the wearable device.

[0050] In this embodiment, the main body 20 is further provided with a receiving groove 23, and the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are movably connected to the receiving groove 23. When the main body 20 is in the first position, the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are exposed in the receiving groove 23, and when the main body 20 is in the second position, the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are stored in the receiving groove 23.

[0051] Specifically, the receiving groove 23 is located at a position corresponding to the connecting part 221, and the shape and size of the receiving groove 23 are configured to match the shape of the plug 2213 and the socket 2214. When the main body 20 is in the first position, the wearable device is in glasses wearing mode. Connecting the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 can keep the two main bodies 20 in a suitable state of glasses wearing mode. The plug 2213 and the socket 2214 are exposed in the receiving groove 23, which can facilitate the plugging and connecting of the two. When the main body 20 is in the second position, the wearable device is in earphone wearing mode. There is no need to connect the plug 2213 and the socket 2214. Therefore, storing the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 in the receiving groove 23 improves the overall appearance of the wearable device and helps to enhance the appearance of the wearable device.

[0052] Furthermore, the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 can be slidably connected to the receiving groove 23, or the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 can be rotatably connected to the receiving groove 23.

[0053] For example, the plug 2213 and socket 2214 are positioned at the ends away from the pivot 11. A slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove 23, and the plug 2213 and socket 2214 are correspondingly equipped with sliding parts. This allows the plug 2213 and socket 2214 to slide within the receiving groove 23. The user can slide the plug 2213 and socket 2214 out and expose them in the receiving groove 23 before plugging the plug 2213 into the socket 2214; or, the plug 2213 and socket 2214... The connecting end of the base 2214 is located near the rotating shaft 11. A rotating connector 2212 is provided on the side of the receiving groove 23 away from the rotating shaft 11. The other ends of the plug 2213 and socket 2214 away from the connecting end are rotatably connected to the receiving groove 23 through the rotating connector 2212. The user can rotate the plug 2213 and socket 2214 out and expose the plug 2213 and socket 2214 in the receiving groove 23, and then plug the plug 2213 and socket 2214 into the receiving groove 23.

[0054] In practical applications, when the two main bodies 20 do not need to be connected, the receiving slot 23 can be set up to store the plug 2213 and the socket 2214 without affecting the user's use, and it is beneficial to improve the appearance of the wearable device.

[0055] In addition, when the main body 20 is also equipped with a camera 25, the camera 25 can be placed in the receiving slot 23. When the wearable device is in glasses wearing mode, the plug 2213 and socket 2214 can be slid out or rotated out of the receiving slot 23, so that the camera 25 is exposed in the receiving slot 23, and the camera 25 can be used to collect external information.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the connecting part 221 includes an interface 2211, and the wearable device also includes a connector 2212; wherein, when the main body 20 is in the first position, the two ends of the connector 2212 are respectively connected to the interfaces 2211 of the two main bodies 20.

[0057] Specifically, the interface 2211 is located at the end furthest from the pivot 11. The interfaces 2211 of the two bodies 20 can be of the same shape or different shapes. A technician can choose any one or any two types of interfaces 2211. This application does not specifically limit the shape of the interface 2211; the choice of interface 2211 type is sufficient to allow for the connection of the two bodies 20. Furthermore, the connector 2212 can have insertion ports at both ends that are adapted to the shapes of the interfaces 2211 of the two bodies 20. The user can insert the insertion ports at both ends of the connector 2212 into the interfaces 2211 of the two bodies 20 respectively to achieve the connection between the connecting parts 221 of the two bodies 20.

[0058] In practical applications, this method of setting the interface 2211 on the main body 20 provides better concealment and helps to enhance the appearance of wearable devices.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connecting part 221 is an electrical connecting part 221; when the main body 20 is in the first position, the two main bodies 20 are electrically connected through the electrical connecting part 221.

[0060] Specifically, the electrical connection part 221 can be provided with an electrical connection port 2211 and the two main bodies 20 can be electrically connected through the electrical connection port 2211 of the electrical connection member 2212; or, the electrical connection part 221 can be provided with an electrical plug-in part and the two main bodies 20 can be electrically connected by plugging into the electrical plug-in parts. In practical applications, after the two main bodies 20 are electrically connected, data transmission, audio and video signal transmission, etc. can be performed through the electrical connection between the two electrical connection parts 221.

[0061] For example, the electrical connection port 2211 may include at least one of a micro universal serial bus interface 2211, a Type-B universal serial bus interface 2211, a Type-C universal serial bus interface 2211, and a Lightning interface 2211. The two ends of the electrical connector 2212 are configured as sockets adapted to the types of the electrical connection ports 2211. The length of the data line between the two sockets can be selected based on the distance between the electrical connection ports 2211 of the two bodies 20 in the first position. The length design needs to ensure effective connection between the electrical connection ports 2211 of the two bodies 20. Preferably, a Type-C interface 2211 can be selected. This type of interface 2211 is smaller in size and does not require distinguishing between the front and back. During use, simply align the socket of the electrical connector 2212 with the electrical connection port 2211 and insert it. Furthermore, this type of interface 2211 offers faster and more stable data transmission rates.

[0062] Alternatively, the electrical connection portions 221 of the two bodies 20 can be respectively provided with pins and sockets, or with gold finger connectors, so that the electrical connection between the two bodies 20 can be achieved through the cooperation of pins and sockets or through the cooperation of gold finger connectors.

[0063] In this embodiment, the main body 20 is further provided with a position detector, which is used to detect the position of the main body 20; the wearable device also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the position detector, the display module, the first audio module and the second audio module respectively; when the position detector detects that the main body 20 is in the first position, the controller controls the display module and the second audio module to work to realize the smart glasses function; when the position detector detects that the main body 20 is in the second position, the controller controls the first audio module to work to realize the headphone function.

[0064] Specifically, the position detector is a position sensor that detects the positions of the two main bodies 20 and sends the detection results to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the power module and receives the detection results from the position detector. Based on different detection results, it controls the operation of different working modules of the wearable device. When the position detector detects that the two main bodies 20 are in a first position, it sends the detection result to the controller. The controller receives the detection result that the two main bodies 20 are in the first position and controls the display module and the second audio module to operate, thereby realizing the smart glasses function. When the position detector detects that the two main bodies 20 are in a second position, it sends the detection result to the controller. The controller receives the detection result that the two main bodies 20 are in the second position and controls the first audio module to operate, thereby realizing the headphone function.

[0065] For example, the position detector may include an inductive position sensor, a capacitive position sensor, or a potentiometric position sensor. In practical applications, technicians can choose the type of position detector themselves, and this application does not specifically limit the type of position detector.

[0066] In this embodiment, the main body 20 is provided with a receiving cavity; the display module includes a display screen and an optical module, the display screen is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the optical module covers the display side of the display screen.

[0067] Specifically, the main body 20 includes a shell. The outer side of the shell can be made of a material with high hardness to support and protect the main body 20. The receiving cavity is located inside the shell. An annular protective pad is also fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell. The annular protective pad is supported by sponge. When the user wears the wearable device, the annular protective pad provides a buffering effect on the contact between the user's eyes or ears and the main body 20, thereby improving the user's wearing comfort.

[0068] Furthermore, a VR / AR circuit module for realizing VR / AR technology is provided inside the cavity. This circuit module is electrically connected to and controlled by the controller. The circuit module is also electrically connected to the display module and the second audio module. The display module includes a display screen and an optical module. The display screen is located inside the cavity, and the optical module covers the display side of the display screen and is located at the center of the cavity. The optical module can realize smart glasses technologies such as VR / AR.

[0069] In practical applications, the display screen is used to display images. The lens 24 is usually a lens with a surface design that has plano-convex (aspherical), biconvex, and concave-convex effects. It is thin at the edges and thick at the center. The lens 24 can correct the light source angle of the lens, allowing the human eye to reread the image, thereby increasing the viewing angle, magnifying the image, and enhancing the sense of depth. This gives the user an immersive feeling and improves the user experience. The user's eyes see the content of the display screen through the lens 24.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first audio module is arranged around the optical module.

[0071] Specifically, the first audio module can be a speaker. For example, the first audio module can be a balanced armature speaker, a moving coil speaker, or a piezoelectric speaker. The first audio module is disposed in the receiving cavity of the body 20 and surrounds the lens 24, and is also at least partially exposed outside the body 20. When the user wears the wearable device in the ear, since the first audio module is disposed around the optical module, it can better fit the user's ear canal, which is conducive to providing better sound output.

[0072] In this embodiment, there is a gap between the second audio module on the wearable device 10 and the body 20, so that the second audio module can be opposite the user's ear area in the glasses wearing mode.

[0073] Specifically, the second audio module can be a diaphragm speaker or a bone conduction driver. With the main body 20 in the first position, the wearable device can achieve better audio-visual effects through the cooperation of the display module and the second audio module.

[0074] In summary, in this embodiment, the wearable device includes a wearing component and two main bodies. The two main bodies are rotatably connected to both ends of the wearing component, allowing switching between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the two main bodies surround the wearing component, making the wearable device suitable for the user to wear around the eyes. In the second position, the two main bodies are positioned opposite each other, making the wearable device suitable for the user to wear around the ears. Furthermore, since the main bodies are equipped with a display module and a first audio module, and the wearing component is equipped with a second audio module, when the main bodies are in the first position, the two main bodies are located in front of the eyes, and the display module within the main body and the second audio module within the wearing component operate, enabling the wearable device to function as smart glasses. When the main bodies are in the second position, the two main bodies are located to the sides of the ears, and the first audio module within the main body operates, enabling the wearable device to function as headphones. When users need to use both headphones and smart glasses simultaneously, they only need to carry the wearable device and switch between the two main bodies in the first and second positions. This allows the wearable device to switch between the functions of smart glasses and headphones, enriching the functionality of the wearable device and improving its portability.
