[0049] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0050] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or uses.

[0051] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0052] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0053] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0054] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an optical module is provided, and the optical module is suitable for use in a head mounted display (HMD), such as a VR head mounted display. The VR head mounted display device may include VR glasses or a VR helmet, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0055] The present application embodiment provides an optical module, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The optical module includes: a screen module 1, a lens barrel module 2 and an electromagnetic drive assembly 3. The screen module 1 includes a screen 10 and a screen bracket 11, and the screen 10 is arranged on the screen bracket 11; the lens barrel module 2 includes a lens barrel 20; the electromagnetic drive assembly 3 includes a coil 30 and a permanent magnet 31, and the coil 30 is sleeved on the side of the screen bracket 11 close to the lens barrel 20, and the permanent magnet 31 is arranged on the lens barrel 20. The electromagnetic drive assembly 3 is configured to drive the screen module 1 to reciprocate along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2.

[0056] In other words, the optical module mainly includes a screen module 1, a lens barrel module 2 and an electromagnetic drive assembly 3, wherein the screen module 1 is composed of a screen 10 and a screen bracket 11, and the screen 10 is fixed to the screen bracket 11. For example, the screen 10 can be fixed to the screen bracket 11 by a bonding process, or by fastening the screen 10 to the screen bracket 11 by fasteners. For example, the screen 10 has a wide range of types, including but not limited to a smartphone screen 10 and a tablet screen 10.

[0057] The lens barrel module 2 combines the lens barrel 20 with at least one built-in lens 21, ensuring superior optical performance and comfortable visual experience.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that the optical module of the present application introduces an electromagnetic drive component 3. This design abandons the traditional mechanical transmission method and uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve stepless adjustment of the distance between the screen 10 and the lens barrel module 2. This not only reduces the space occupied, but also maintains an extremely low noise level during operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0059] Specifically, the electromagnetic drive assembly 3 includes a coil 30 and a permanent magnet 31, the coil 30 is sleeved on a side of the screen bracket 11 close to the lens barrel 20, and the permanent magnet 31 is installed on the lens barrel 20. Exemplarily, the permanent magnet 31 can be installed on the lens barrel 20 by bonding or embedding. In one example, a mounting groove 202 is provided on the inner wall of the lens barrel 20, and the permanent magnet 31 is arranged in the mounting groove 202. In another example, the permanent magnet 31 is bonded to the inner wall of the lens barrel 20.

[0060] When the coil 30 is energized, a magnetic field is generated around the coil 30 according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. The direction and intensity of this magnetic field depend on the direction and magnitude of the current. The magnetic field generated by the coil 30 interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 31. Due to the magnetic stability of the permanent magnet 31, when the direction and intensity of the magnetic field of the coil 30 change, a relative motion trend is generated with the permanent magnet 31. According to the Lorentz force law, when current passes through the coil 30, an electromagnetic force is generated on the coil 30. This electromagnetic force interacts with the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 31, thereby producing a pushing or pulling effect, driving the screen module 1 to move along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2.

[0061] Exemplarily, when the first current is passed through the coil 30, the screen module 1 reciprocates along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2 under the action of the electromagnetic force. For example, the first current is alternating current, and the direction of the magnetic field around the coil 30 is adjusted by changing the current direction to adjust the force between the permanent magnet 31 and the coil 30.

[0062] In one example, when the direction of the first current flowing through the coil 30 changes, the force between the coil 30 and the permanent magnet 31 can be adjusted from repulsion to attraction, or vice versa.

[0063] When the force between the coil 30 and the permanent magnet 31 is repulsive, the screen module 1 moves away from the lens barrel module 2, and the distance between the screen 10 and the lens barrel module 2 gradually increases. When the force between the coil 30 and the permanent magnet 31 is attractive, the screen module 1 moves toward the lens barrel module 2, and the distance between the screen 10 and the lens barrel module 2 gradually decreases.

[0064] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the distance of the screen 10 is adjusted by the electromagnetic drive component 3, which not only enables the optical module to have the ability to steplessly adjust the position of the screen 10, but also improves the accuracy and stability of the adjustment. At the same time, since the traditional mechanical transmission method is avoided, the noise generated by the electromagnetic drive component 3 during operation is extremely low, which improves the user experience. In addition, the structure of the electromagnetic drive component 3 does not take up too much space in the optical module, which improves the portability of the optical module.

[0065] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the moving direction and speed of the screen module 1 can be controlled by controlling the direction and magnitude of the first current in the coil 30. When the direction of the current changes, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the coil 30 will also change, thereby changing the direction of the interaction force with the permanent magnet 31, and realizing the reciprocating movement of the screen module 1.

[0066] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3-Figure 6 The screen bracket 11 is provided with a first guide portion 12, and the first guide portion 12 extends along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2;

[0067] The inner wall of the lens barrel 20 is provided with a guide groove 201, and the first guide portion 12 is arranged in the guide groove 201;

[0068] The guide groove 201 is provided with a valve assembly 4, and the valve assembly 4 has a first state and a second state;

[0069] When the valve assembly 4 is in the first state, the valve assembly 4 is configured to restrict the first guide portion 12 within the guide groove 201;

[0070] When the valve assembly 4 is in the second state, the valve assembly 4 is configured to unlock the first guide portion 12;

[0071] When the first guide portion 12 is in an unlocked state, the electromagnetic driving assembly 3 is configured to be able to drive the screen module 1 to reciprocate along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2 .

[0072] In this embodiment, a first guide portion 12 is provided on the screen bracket 11 . The first guide portion 12 extends along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2 , and plays a role in guiding the movement of the screen module 1 .

[0073] At the same time, a guide groove 201 is provided on the inner wall of the lens barrel 20, and the first guide portion 12 is arranged inside the guide groove 201. Such a design not only ensures the stability of the screen module 1 during the movement, but also improves the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0074] In particular, a valve assembly 4 is disposed inside the guide groove 201. The valve assembly 4 has two working states: a first state and a second state. When the valve assembly 4 is in the first state, the valve assembly 4 will firmly lock the first guide portion 12 in the guide groove 201, ensuring that the screen module 1 remains stable when it does not need to move. When the valve assembly 4 is switched to the second state, the valve assembly 4 will unlock the first guide portion 12, allowing the screen module 1 to smoothly reciprocate along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2 under the drive of the electromagnetic drive assembly 3.

[0075] Such a design allows the optical module to be flexible in adjusting the position of the screen 10, and also ensures the stability and reliability of the adjustment process. At the same time, due to the design of the valve assembly 4, we can lock or unlock the screen module 1 when needed, providing users with a more convenient and efficient use experience.

[0076] It should be noted that the structure of the valve assembly 4 is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application, as long as the valve assembly 4 can realize the position locking and unlocking of the first guide portion 12. Exemplarily, the valve assembly 4 includes but is not limited to a buckle and a snap ring matching structure. When the buckle and the snap ring match, the valve assembly 4 has a locking function for the first guide portion 12. When the buckle and the snap ring fall off (matching failure), the valve assembly 4 unlocks the first guide portion 12.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3-Figure 6 , the valve assembly 4 comprises:

[0078] Two elastic components 40, the two elastic components 40 are arranged on opposite surfaces of the guide groove 201;

[0079] An electromagnetic component 41 is disposed on a side of each elastic component 40 away from the inner wall of the guide groove 201;

[0080] When the second current is applied to the electromagnetic components 41, the two electromagnetic components 41 move away from each other to unlock the first guide portion 12;

[0081] When no current is supplied to the electromagnetic components 41 , the two electromagnetic components 41 restrict the first guide portion 12 in the guide groove 201 under the elastic force of the elastic component 40 .

[0082] In this specific embodiment, the valve assembly 4 mainly realizes the locking and unlocking functions of the first guide portion 12 through the cooperation of the electromagnetic component 41 and the elastic component 40 .

[0083] Specifically, two elastic components 40 are configured in the valve assembly 4, and the two elastic components 40 are respectively installed on the inner walls of the guide groove 201 on both sides. These elastic components 40 (such as springs) need to have elastic restoring force and can maintain a stable shape and position when not affected by external forces.

[0084] Corresponding to each elastic component 40, an electromagnetic component 41 is respectively arranged on the side thereof away from the inner wall of the guide groove 201. The first guide portion 12 is arranged in the guide groove 201, and the first guide portion 12 is located between the two electromagnetic components 41. Exemplarily, the electromagnetic component 41 can be an electromagnet.

[0085] When a second current (usually a current of a specific direction and magnitude) is passed through the electromagnetic components 41, the two electromagnetic components 41 are acted upon by the magnetic field force and move in opposite directions. For example, when the second current is passed through the two electromagnetic components 41, the polarities of the electromagnetic components 41 are the same, and the two electromagnetic components 41 repel each other.

[0086] When the two electromagnetic components 41 move in opposite directions, the electromagnetic component 41 compresses the elastic component 40, causing the elastic component 40 to deform. At the same time, since the interaction between the electromagnetic component 41 and the first guide portion 12 is weakened or disappears, the first guide portion 12 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the screen module 1 can move freely under the drive of the electromagnetic drive assembly 3.

[0087] When no current flows into the electromagnetic component 41 (i.e., it is in the power-off state), the elastic component 40 will use the elastic restoring force to push the two electromagnetic components 41 back to the initial position. In this process, the electromagnetic component 41 is pressed against the first guide portion 12 by the elastic component 40, and the electromagnetic component 41 and the first guide portion 12 are locked in the guide groove 201 by the friction between the electromagnetic component 41 and the first guide portion 12. This locked state ensures that the screen module 1 can maintain a stable position when it does not need to be moved.

[0088] Furthermore, when the elastic component 40 uses its elastic restoring force to push the two electromagnetic components 41 toward each other, a third current can be passed through the two electromagnetic components 41, so that the two electromagnetic components 41 attract each other, and the first guide portion 12 is further locked in the guide groove 201 by means of the attraction between the two electromagnetic components 41.

[0089] Therefore, in this embodiment, the valve assembly 4 combines the dual advantages of electromagnetic locking and mechanical locking, ensuring the stability and reliability of the screen module 1 during movement. In addition, by controlling the power-on state of the electromagnetic component 41, the locking and unlocking functions of the screen module 1 can be realized, improving the user experience.

[0090] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to enhance the locking force of the electromagnetic component 41 on the first guide portion 12, four elastic components 40 are arranged in the guide groove 201, and each elastic component 40 is provided with an electromagnetic component 41. In this way, the first guide portion 12 is locked by the four electromagnetic components 41, thereby ensuring the firmness of the locking of the first guide portion 12.

[0091] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The guide groove 201 is provided with two second guide portions 42 which are arranged opposite to each other, and the elastic component 40 is correspondingly arranged on the second guide portions 42 .

[0092] In this embodiment, two second guide portions 42 are arranged opposite to each other inside the guide groove 201. The second guide portions 42 provide a basis for the installation of the elastic component 40. In addition, the second guide portions 42 also have a guiding function, ensuring that the elastic component 40 can be deformed along a predetermined direction when compressed or stretched, thereby accurately controlling the locking and unlocking operations of the valve assembly 4 on the first guide portion 12.

[0093] Exemplarily, the number of the second guide portions 42 corresponds to the number of the elastic components 40 .

[0094] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The inner wall of the lens barrel 20 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 202 , and the plurality of mounting grooves 202 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the lens barrel 20 ; the permanent magnet 31 is disposed in each of the mounting grooves 202 .

[0095] In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting grooves 202 are provided inside the lens barrel 20, and the permanent magnets 31 are correspondingly fixed in the mounting grooves 202. This not only ensures that the permanent magnets 31 can be firmly fixed inside the lens barrel 20, but also, through the evenly distributed mounting grooves 202 (the permanent magnets 31 are arranged in the mounting grooves 202), the permanent magnets 31 can more effectively generate a magnetic field, which is more conducive to the electromagnetic drive assembly 3 driving the screen module 1 to reciprocate.

[0096] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a plurality of the first guide portions 12 are provided on the screen bracket 11, and the plurality of the first guide portions 12 are evenly distributed on the screen bracket 11;

[0097] A plurality of valve assemblies 4 are disposed on the inner wall of the lens barrel 20 , and the valve assemblies 4 correspond to the first guide portions 12 one by one.

[0098] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the balance of the movement of the screen module 1, a plurality of first guide portions 12 are provided on the screen bracket 11, and the plurality of first guide portions 12 are evenly distributed on the screen bracket 11. For example, the first guide portions 12 are evenly distributed on the screen bracket 11, ensuring the balance and stability of the structure.

[0099] At the same time, the inner wall of the lens barrel 20 is also provided with a plurality of valve assemblies 4. These valve assemblies 4 form a one-to-one correspondence with the first guide portions 12 on the screen bracket 11, ensuring that each first guide portion 12 can be unlocked and locked by the corresponding valve assembly 4.

[0100] Exemplarily, three first guide portions 12 are disposed on the screen bracket 11 , and correspondingly, three valve assemblies 4 are disposed on the inner wall of the lens barrel 20 , and each valve assembly 4 correspondingly unlocks or locks one of the first guide portions 12 .

[0101] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer wall of the screen bracket 11 is provided with a first limiting groove 13, and the outer wall of the lens barrel 20 is provided with a second limiting groove 203;

A clamp on one side of the dustproof component 5 is in the first limiting groove 13, and a clamp on the other side is in the second limiting groove 203, so as to seal the inside of the optical module. Exemplarily, the dustproof component 5 seals the coil 30 provided on the screen bracket 11, and the permanent magnet 31 and the valve assembly 4 provided inside the lens barrel 20.

[0104] Exemplarily, the dustproof component 5 may be a flexible dustproof sleeve.

When powered on, the coil 30 generates a magnetic field, which interacts with the permanent magnet 31 in the lens barrel 20, thereby generating a driving force, so that the screen module 1 can reciprocate along the optical axis direction of the lens barrel module 2.

[0108] Exemplarily, the first guide portion 12 provided on the screen bracket 11 may be provided on the bracket body 111 and located outside the annular portion 112 .
