Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dustproof and glasses, and in particular to a dustproof structure and AR glasses. Background Art

[0002] The coupling components used together are usually set to a fixed and non-detachable structure. For example, the light engine and the corresponding optical waveguide lens are fixed to one end of the frame of the AR glasses. In this way, the shaft of the folding temple must be installed at the back, which affects the appearance when worn and takes up a lot of space when stored. In this regard, a possible improvement is to design the light engine and the corresponding optical waveguide lens to be decoupled.

[0003] However, when adjacent coupling components are decoupled and separated, a new problem of contamination by foreign matter such as dust may arise. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a dustproof structure. Summary of the invention

[0009] Preferably, the dustproof structure further comprises a second hatch and a second elastic element;

[0010] When the temples are in a fully folded state, the second hatch is normally closed by the second elastic element to cover the second coupling module inside the frame, and the second coupling module is used in conjunction with the first coupling module;

[0011] During the process of rotating the temple to a fully open state, the second hatch is held against by the first hatch, gradually opens by overcoming the elastic force of the second elastic element, so as to deliver the second coupling module into the interior of the frame.

[0012] Preferably, the first coupling module is a light engine module.

[0013] Preferably, the second coupling module is an optical waveguide module.

[0014] Preferably, the optical waveguide module is a geometric or diffraction optical waveguide module.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application provide a dustproof structure and AR glasses to solve the technical problem that dust and other foreign matter may be generated when adjacent coupling components are decoupled and separated, thereby achieving decoupling of the two.

[0031] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention is based on the premise that the coupling components used in conjunction are set to be decoupled, recognizing that when adjacent coupling components are decoupled and separated, new problems such as dust and other foreign matter pollution may occur. Based on this, a dustproof structure and AR glasses are proposed.

[0033] The dustproof structure can be applied to but not limited to AR glasses, and at least includes a first hatch and a first elastic element. When the temples are in a fully folded state, the first hatch is normally closed by the first elastic element to cover the first coupling module; when the temples are rotated to a fully open state, the first hatch gradually opens to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element to expose the first coupling module. In this way, the first coupling module is prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter such as dust during decoupling and separation.

[0034] Furthermore, the dustproof structure also includes a second hatch and a second elastic element. When the temple is in a fully folded state, the second hatch is normally closed by the second elastic element to cover the second coupling module inside the frame; when the temple is rotated to a fully open state, the second hatch is held against by the first hatch, and gradually opens to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic element, so as to send the second coupling module into the frame. Therefore, when decoupling and separating, the second coupling component used in conjunction with the first coupling module is also prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter such as dust.

[0035] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dustproof structure, which is applied to glasses, including a first hatch 11, a first elastic element 12, a second hatch 21 and a second elastic element 22; wherein the first hatch 11 and the first elastic element 12 are arranged at one end of the temple 1, and the second hatch 21 and the second elastic element 22 are arranged at one end of the frame 2.

[0038] When the temple 1 is in the fully folded state: Figures 1-2 As shown, the first hatch 11 is normally closed by the first elastic element 12 to cover the first coupling module 10; and Figures 1-2 As shown, the second hatch 21 is normally closed by the second elastic element 22 to cover the second coupling module 20 inside the frame 2 , and the second coupling module 20 is used in conjunction with the first coupling module 10 .

[0039] During the process of rotating the temple 1 to the fully opened state: Figures 3-4 As shown, the first hatch 11 gradually opens to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element 12 to expose the first coupling module 10; and Figures 3-4 As shown, the second hatch 21 is held against by the first hatch 11 , and gradually opens by overcoming the elastic force of the second elastic element 12 , so as to deliver the second coupling module 20 into the interior of the frame 2 .

[0040] Finally, when the temple 1 is in a fully opened state: Figures 5-6 As shown, the first hatch 11 and the second hatch 21 are both fully opened, and the first coupling module 10 reaches a preset working position inside the frame 2 and couples with the second coupling module 20 .

[0041] It is noted that the dustproof structure can be applied to but not limited to AR glasses. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can understand that the first coupling module 10 and the second coupling module 20 used in conjunction are not limited to a specific combination.

[0042] Based on the above principles, in an optional embodiment, when the dust-proof structure is applied to AR glasses, the first coupling module 10 may be a light engine module, and the second coupling module 20 may be an optical waveguide module used therewith, such as a geometric or diffraction optical waveguide module; and in other optional embodiments, when the dust-proof structure is applied to other types of glasses, the first coupling module 10 may be a camera module or a projection module, etc., and the second coupling module 20 may be a display module used therewith, etc.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 , 4 , 6 as shown ( Figure 6 The first door 11 is a component in the form of mirror-images opened in the upper and lower parts, and the first elastic element 12 matched therewith is a spring.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 6, the second hatch 21 is a component that opens in a mirror-image manner up and down, and the second elastic element 22 matched therewith is a torsion spring.

[0045] In order to help better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the working principle thereof is briefly described below:

[0046] When the temple 1 is in a fully folded state, the spring relies on its own elastic force to press the two components of the first hatch 11 against the surface of the first coupling module 10, thereby completely covering the first coupling module 10; the torsion spring relies on its own elastic force to press the two components of the second hatch 21 against the preset hole of the frame 2, thereby completely covering the second coupling module 20.

[0047] During use, when the temple 1 is rotated to a partially folded state, the first hatch 11 is pushed open by the edge of the frame 2 on the same side, and its two components respectively rotate upward and downward around the axis to open by overcoming the elastic force of the spring; the temple 1 continues to be rotated, and the two partially opened components of the first hatch 11 then contact the second hatch 21, and overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring to drive the two components of the second hatch 21 to rotate upward and downward around the axis to open.

[0048] When the temple 1 is rotated to a fully open state, the two components of the first hatch 11 are pushed to a parallel state, and the two components of the second hatch 21 are also pushed to a parallel state. At this time, the first coupling module 10 reaches a preset working position inside the frame 2 and is smoothly coupled with the second coupling module 20.

[0049] After use, the temple 1 is rotated from the fully opened state to the fully folded state, and the above process is performed in reverse, the first coupling module 10 and the second coupling module 20 are decoupled and are covered by the corresponding doors respectively.

[0050] Embodiment 2:

[0051] An embodiment of the present invention provides an AR glasses, including the dust-proof structure as described in Embodiment 1.

[0052] It is understandable that since the AR glasses provided by the embodiment of the present invention include the above-mentioned dust-proof structure, the explanations, examples and beneficial effects of other related contents can refer to the corresponding parts in the dust-proof structure and will not be repeated here.

[0053] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0054] 1. The dustproof structure provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to but not limited to AR glasses, and at least includes a first hatch and a first elastic element. When the temples are in a fully folded state, the first hatch is normally closed by the first elastic element to cover the first coupling module; when the temples are rotated to a fully open state, the first hatch gradually opens to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element to expose the first coupling module. In this way, the first coupling module is prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter such as dust during decoupling and separation.

[0055] 2. The dustproof structure provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a second hatch and a second elastic element. When the temple is in a fully folded state, the second hatch is normally closed by the second elastic element to cover the second coupling module inside the frame; when the temple is rotated to a fully open state, the second hatch is held against the first hatch, and gradually opens to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic element, so as to send the second coupling module into the frame. Therefore, when decoupling and separating, the second coupling component used in conjunction with the first coupling module is also prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter such as dust.

[0056] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
