AI Technical Summary
When the temples of smart glasses are extended outwards, the position and angle accuracy of the camera are affected, and existing designs cannot effectively reduce the transmission of deformation.
The temples are connected to the frame by a rotation, and a deformation gap is set between the crossbeam and the front frame. Deformable elements and elastic components are used to buffer deformation, ensuring that the position and posture of the sensor remain unchanged. The temples can rotate relative to the frame to adapt to different head circumferences.
The improved sensor position and orientation accuracy enhances the user experience. The temples can stably hold the head, adapting to different head circumferences and relative ear-eye heights, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0024] It should be noted that the drawings and the detailed description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the scope of the present application.
[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0027] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pair of glasses, comprising a frame, a temple. The temple is connected to the frame and can rotate relative to the frame. Optionally, the temple can be outwardly unfolded relative to the frame, so that the pair of glasses can be suitable for wearers with different head circumferences.
[0029] In some optional embodiments, the pair of glasses is a smart pair of glasses, and the smart pair of glasses further comprises a sensor 6. Optionally, the sensor 6 comprises a sensor 6 capable of capturing at least one of a position or a pose. For example, it can be a camera or an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The camera can capture images required for SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) for providing vision-based tracking and positioning, which can be used for positioning of the smart pair of glasses and recognition of interactive gestures. The inertial measurement unit can be used to provide motion data. Optionally, the sensor 6 can be disposed on the frame.
[0030] Figure 1 A partial structure explosion diagram of a pair of glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 1 The pair of glasses 100 comprises a frame 3 and a temple 2, and the temple 2 is connected to both sides of the frame 3. The frame 3 comprises a front frame 31 and a crossbeam 32. The crossbeam 32 is connected to the front frame 31, and there is a deformation gap between the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31. The front frame 31 is an appearance part of the pair of glasses 100 and can carry lenses, and the front frame 31 is usually a plastic part and is prone to deformation. The temple 2 is rotationally connected to the crossbeam 32. When the temple 2 is unfolded outwardly, it will cause slight deformation of the crossbeam 32, so that the crossbeam 32 is close to the front frame 31.
[0031] If the front frame 31 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 32 along the length direction, when the crossbeam 32 is deformed, the front frame 31 will also be deformed synchronously, which will affect the appearance of the pair of glasses 100 and easily cause the front frame 31 to crack. By forming a deformation gap between the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 and connecting the temple 2 to the crossbeam 32 only and not to the front frame, when the crossbeam 32 is deformed, the front frame 31 will not be deformed, thereby reducing the influence of the deformation of the crossbeam 32 on the front frame 31.
[0032] Optionally, the frame 3 of the pair of glasses 100 further comprises a rear frame. The front frame 31 and the rear frame are connected and form a containing space therebetween, and the crossbeam 32 is disposed in the containing space. It can be understood that the terms “front frame” and “rear frame” do not mean to limit the positions of the two parts, but are only convenient for distinguishing, and a person skilled in the art can set components and their positions according to working principles to achieve the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the glasses 100 are smart glasses, and the glasses 100 include a sensor 6. The sensor 6 includes a sensor capable of capturing at least one of a position or an attitude. For example, the sensor 6 can be a camera or an inertial measurement unit. The sensor 6 can be arranged on the front frame 31 close to the deformation gap. When the crossbeam 32 deforms, the deformation of the portion of the front frame 31 on which the sensor 6 is arranged is substantially caused, so that the position and the attitude of the sensor 6 are not changed, and the data collected by the sensor 6 is not affected.
[0034] In some possible embodiments, the sensor 6 can include a camera, and the camera is arranged at two ends of the front frame 31. The two ends of the crossbeam 32 can have a deformation gap with the front frame 31, so that the deformation of the two ends of the crossbeam 32 has a smaller influence on the two ends of the front frame 31, and the sensor 6 can be arranged at the two ends of the front frame 31. When the temple 2 is extended outward, the deformation amount of the two ends of the crossbeam 32 is larger, because the two ends of the crossbeam 32 are not in direct contact with the front frame 31, and when the ends of the crossbeam 32 deform, the two ends of the crossbeam 32 do not interfere with the front frame 31, and the front frame 31 does not deform, and the position and the attitude accuracy of the camera are not affected.
[0035] In some possible embodiments, a camera hole 311 can be arranged on the front frame, the camera 6 is located on the inner side of the front frame, and the camera 6 covers the camera hole 311. The front frame can protect the camera 6. The front frame and the camera 6 can be connected and fixed in any one of a bonding structure, a clamping structure, and a fastener connection structure.
[0036] In some possible embodiments, the middle part of the front frame 31 is fixedly connected with the crossbeam 32, and the sensor 6 is arranged at the end part of the front frame 31. The smart glasses 100 further include a cable, and the cable is connected with the sensor 6. The cable extends along the inner wall of the front frame 31 from the end part of the front frame 31 to the middle part of the front frame 31, and extends to the crossbeam 32.
[0037] The cable segment located between the end part of the front frame 31 and the middle part of the front frame 31 extends along the inner wall of the front frame 31. The cable can be connected with the inner wall of the front frame 31, and is connected with the middle part of the crossbeam 32, so that the cable is not moved when the crossbeam 32 deforms, and the camera 6 is not affected.
[0038] In some possible embodiments, the frame 3 includes a deformable element 352, and the deformable element 352 is located in the deformation gap. The deformable element 352 is limitedly matched with at least one of the front frame 31 and the crossbeam 32.
[0039] The deformable element 352 can be an elastic element that can buffer external force when subjected to force and recover deformation after the external force is removed. The elastic element can be, for example, a spring. The deformable element 352 can also be a flexible element that can be deformed when subjected to external force and recover deformation after the external force is removed. The flexible element can be, for example, a flexible gasket or foam that can buffer the effect of the deformation of the crossbeam 32 on the front frame 31. By arranging the deformable element 352 in the deformation gap, the effect of the deformation of the crossbeam 32 on the deformation of the front frame 31 can be absorbed, the deformation of the front frame 31 is reduced, the sensor 6 can maintain an accurate angle, and the user experience is improved.
[0040] It should be noted that the deformable element 352 described above can be limited in cooperation with the crossbeam 32 only. Alternatively, the deformable element 352 described above can also be limited in cooperation with the front frame 31 only. Alternatively, the deformable element 352 described above can be limited in cooperation with both the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31. As for “limiting”, it can be understood that the deformable element 352 is elastically abutted on at least one of the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 to achieve limiting by elastic abutment, or it can be understood that a specific limiting cooperation structure is arranged in the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31, and the deformable element 352 can be connected with the limiting cooperation structure, and the limiting cooperation part limits the deformable element 352 to prevent the deformable element 352 from falling off. The limiting cooperation structure can be any one of a protrusion (such as a limiting column) and a groove. Of course, the limiting cooperation structure can also be other structures, which are not uniquely limited in the present disclosure.
[0041] In some possible embodiments, the spectacle frame 3 includes the deformable element 352 and the side connecting piece 351. The side connecting piece 351 is arranged at the end of the crossbeam 32 in the length direction, and the side connecting piece 351 connects the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31. The deformable element 352 is arranged on the side connecting piece 351.
[0042] Exemplarily, the side connecting piece 351 is at least partially located between the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31, and the side connecting piece 351 can be fixedly connected with the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 respectively by means of adhesion, clamping or fastener connection.
[0043] Exemplarily, the side connecting piece 351 can be a rigid material. For example, the side connecting piece 351 can be a rigid connecting body, and the deformable element 352 can be arranged in the gap formed between the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 and arranged on the rigid connecting body. Alternatively, the rigid connecting body can pass through the deformable element 352 and make it located in the gap formed between the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31. Alternatively, the deformable element 352 can be, for example, a flexible gasket or foam. The rigid connecting body can be, for example, a screw.
[0044] Exemplarily, at least two deformable elements 352 are arranged at each end of the front frame 31, and the deformable elements 352 at each end of the front frame 31 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the front frame 31. The deformable elements 352 have central holes, and each rigid connecting body passes through the central hole of the corresponding deformable element 352 and is connected to the front frame 31.
[0045] In some possible embodiments, the deformable element 352 is made of a material that is capable of being deformed when the two temple pieces 2 are folded inward. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the frame 3 comprises a middle connecting piece 34 arranged at the middle of the length direction of the cross beam 32, and the middle connecting piece 34 connects the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31.
[0046] Optionally, the middle connecting piece 34 can be made of a rigid material. The middle position of the cross beam 32 is farthest from the two ends of the temple pieces 2, and the rotation of the temple pieces 2 has less influence on the middle position of the cross beam 32. Therefore, the middle position of the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 can be connected and fixed by the middle connecting piece 34 made of a rigid material. By rigidly connecting the middle position of the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31, the relative shaking between the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32 can be avoided, so that the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32 have better integrity. The middle connecting piece 34 made of a rigid material can be a screw.
[0047] Optionally, the middle connecting piece 34 can also be made of a deformable material. Although the two temple pieces 2 are connected to the ends of the cross beam 32, when the two temple pieces 2 are folded inward at the same time, the middle of the cross beam 32 will inevitably be deformed to a certain extent, so that the cross beam 32 drives the front frame 31 to deform to a certain extent. The middle connecting piece 34 is at least partially located between the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32, and can buffer and absorb the deformation of the cross beam 32, thereby reducing the influence of the deformation of the cross beam 32 on the front frame 31. The middle connecting piece 34 can be fixedly connected to the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 by means of adhesion, clamping or fastening.
[0048] Optionally, the middle connecting piece 34 can also be formed by a combination of a rigid material and a deformable material. Exemplarily, the middle connecting piece 34 can comprise a deformable element and a rigid connecting body. The deformable element can be arranged between the cross beam and the front frame and on the rigid connecting body. For example, the rigid connecting body can pass through the deformable element, the cross beam and the front frame to connect and fix the three. The deformable element can be a flexible gasket or foam. The rigid connecting body can be a screw.
[0049] Figure 5 Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the connecting mechanism 1 of the glasses 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which connects the frame 3 and the temple pieces 2, Figure 6 Fig. 2 shows a partial structure exploded view of the glasses 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 5 、 6As shown, the smart glasses 100 comprises a frame 3, a temple 2, and a connecting mechanism 1. The temple 2 is connected to the frame 3 through the connecting mechanism 1. The relative rotation between the temple 2 and the frame 3 can be achieved through the connecting mechanism 1, so as to adjust the angle of the temple 2 relative to the frame 3.
[0050] In some alternative embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 、 6 The connecting mechanism 1 comprises a support 11 and a connecting bracket 12. The support 11 is connected to the temple 2. The connecting bracket 12 is connected to the end of the crossbeam 32 along the length direction of the crossbeam 32. The support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 are rotationally connected, so that the temple 2 can rotate relative to the frame 3 around a first axial direction. The first axial direction can be the rotation axial direction of the temple 2 unfolding outwardly around the frame 3. During the rotation of the temple 2 around the first axial direction, the temple 2 is unfolded.
[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 11 is used to connect the temple 2, and the connecting bracket 12 is used to connect the frame 3, so as to realize the connection between the temple and the frame 3. When the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 rotate relative to each other, the temple 2 rotates relative to the frame 3, which can realize the adjustment of the angle between the temple 2 and the frame 3, and can make the glasses 100 suitable for wearers with different head circumferences. In some possible implementation, the sensor 6 is located opposite to the connecting bracket 12 along the thickness direction of the frame 3, and the sensor 6 and the connecting bracket 12 have a deformation gap therebetween.
[0052] It can be understood that the thickness direction of the frame 3 refers to the direction perpendicular to the plane where the front frame 31 is located.
[0053] Alternatively, the connecting bracket 12 and the end of the crossbeam 32 can be fixedly connected by using fasteners. The sensor 6 disposed on the front frame 31 and the connecting bracket 12 have a deformation gap therebetween. During the unfolding of the temple 2, the connecting bracket 12 approaches the front frame 31, but does not contact the sensor 6.
[0054] In some possible implementation, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 10 The support 11 comprises a first extension 111 and a second extension 114, and the first extension 111 and the second extension 114 are connected. Alternatively, the first extension 111 and the second extension 114 can extend along different directions, that is, the first extension 111 and the second extension 114 can have an included angle therebetween. Alternatively, the first extension 111 and the second extension 114 can also extend along a curve, for example, the first extension 111 and the second extension 114 extend along an arc.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the connecting bracket 12 comprises oppositely arranged limiting portions 121. The oppositely arranged limiting portions 121 can accommodate the second extension portion 114 and provide a space for the second extension portion 114 to move. Alternatively, two spaced and oppositely arranged limiting portions 121 can be provided.
[0056] Alternatively, the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 are rotationally connected, and the second extension portion 114 of the support 11 is located between the oppositely arranged limiting portions 121. The second extension portion 114 can rotate about the first axial direction, so that the limit positions of the relative rotation of the second extension portion 114 are defined, i.e., the range of the relative rotation of the second extension portion 114 is limited. Thus, the relative rotation range of the temple and the frame can be limited.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first axial direction can be the rotation axial direction of the temple 2 about the frame 3 to unfold outward. When the second extension portion 114 of the connecting bracket 12 is limited in one of the limiting portions 121, the temple 2 and the frame 3 have a first angle; when the second extension portion 114 is limited in the other limiting portion 121, the temple 2 and the frame 3 have a second angle. Thus, the temple 2 and the frame 3 can be rotated between the first angle and the second angle.
[0058] In some possible embodiments, the extension direction of the first extension portion 111 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the temple 2, and the second extension portion 114 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the cross beam 32 when abutting against one of the limiting portions 121. The first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the angle between the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can be slightly greater than 90 degrees. The angle between the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can be adapted to the required angle between the frame 3 and the temple 2 in the unfolded state of the temple 2. During the rotation of the temple 2 to drive the first extension portion, the second extension portion 114 swings along the thickness direction of the frame 3, and the two limiting portions 121 limit the swing range of the second extension portion 114.
[0059] In some possible embodiments, the second extension portion 114 deforms the cross beam 32 when abutting against one of the limiting portions 121. The two limiting portions 121 are sequentially arranged along the thickness direction of the frame 3, one of which is close to the wearer, and the other is away from the wearer. When the temple 2 is unfolded, the second extension portion 114 abuts against the limiting portion 121 close to the wearer, so that the cross beam 32 deforms toward the side of the wearer's face. When the temple 2 is folded to the limit position, the second extension portion 114 abuts against the limiting portion 121 away from the wearer, so that the cross beam 32 deforms toward the front side of the wearer.
[0060] In some possible embodiments, in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, an elastic member 13 may also be provided inside the connecting mechanism 1. The elastic force of the elastic member 13 can be used as a restoring force for the movement of the support 11 relative to the connecting bracket 12, that is, a damping force for the relative movement between the temple and the frame.
[0061] Optionally, the elastic member 13 provides a damping force to prevent the temples 2 from spreading outward relative to the frame 3. When the glasses are worn on the user's head, the two temples spread outward. The damping force provided by the elastic member 13 allows the two temples 2 to hold the user's head, thereby distributing the pressure of the nose pads and ensuring that the glasses are stably worn on the wearer's head.
[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 6 As shown, the elastic member 13 is located between the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12, providing a restoring force for the first extension 111 to rotate closer to the connecting bracket 12. Under external force, as the temple 2 opens relative to the frame 3, the elastic member 13 located between the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 deforms. After the external force is removed, the elastic member 13 returns to its original shape, causing the temple 2 to retract inwards towards the relative frame 3. The elastic member 13 provides damping force against the outward expansion of the temple 2 relative to the frame 3, allowing the temple 2 to share the pressure of the nose pads and making the glasses 100 less likely to fall off, thus improving wearing comfort.
[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the damping force provided by the elastic member 13 is related to the change in the rotation angle of the temple 2. Optionally, the damping force provided by the elastic member 13 may also be related to the amount of change in the length of the elastic member 13. When the temple 2 rotates, the length of the elastic member 13 changes, thereby providing a restoring force to the temple 2 in the opposite direction. Optionally, the elastic member 13 has a variable angle, and the damping force provided by the elastic member 13 may also be related to the amount of change in the angle of the elastic member 13. When the temple 2 rotates, the angle of the elastic member 13 changes, thereby providing a restoring force to the temple 2 in the opposite direction. Compared to an elastic member with a variable length, an elastic member with a variable angle can provide a greater damping force, thereby providing a greater clamping force to the temple 2 of the eyeglasses 100.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the elastic component 13 is located between the second extension 114 and any one of the limiting portions 121 of the connecting bracket 12, such that when the first extension 111 rotates away from the connecting bracket 12, the second extension 114 acts on the elastic component to cause the elastic component 13 to deform. For example, the second extension 114 can compress or stretch the elastic component 13, such that the elastic component 13 deforms or the deformation amount of the elastic component 13 increases. In this way, the elastic component 13 provides a restoring force for the first extension 111 to rotate towards the connecting bracket 12.
[0065] For example, the two limiting portions 121 of the connecting bracket 12 are arranged along the thickness direction of the frame 3 of the glasses 100 in sequence. The two limiting portions 121 are respectively the two limiting portions 121 arranged on the inner side and the outer side. Alternatively, when the outer legs 2 are unfolded, the elastic component 13 can be compressed by the second extension 114 to provide a reverse restoring force, which can be achieved by arranging the elastic component 13 between the second extension 114 and the limiting portion 121 on the inner side. Alternatively, when the outer legs 2 are unfolded, the elastic component 13 can be stretched by the second extension 114 to provide a reverse restoring force, which can be achieved by arranging the elastic component 13 between the second extension 114 and the limiting portion 121 on the outer side.
[0066] It can be understood that the "limiting portion on the inner side" in the above can be understood as the limiting portion close to the face when the glasses are in the wearing state. The "limiting portion on the outer side" can be understood as the limiting portion away from the face when the glasses are in the wearing state.
[0067] Figures 11 to 13 Three different perspective views of the connecting mechanism are shown. The connecting bracket 12 can include two connecting arms 122, and the two connecting arms 122 and the limiting portions 121 form an accommodation space in which the second extension 114 is accommodated.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, each connecting arm 122 connects two limiting portions 121 respectively. Alternatively, the plane in which the connecting arm 122 is located is substantially perpendicular to the limiting portions 121.
