[0001] The present application relates to the field of consumer electronic products, and in particular to a rotating shaft mechanism, a frame, glasses and smart glasses. Background Art

[0002] At present, glasses have become a must-have item for some people, especially for people with myopia. With the advancement and development of science and technology, smart glasses have been derived on the basis of traditional glasses. These smart glasses realize intelligence by setting up optical machines to project image information onto the lenses of the glasses or a dedicated display screen.

[0003] In order to facilitate storage, glasses in the related art usually have a hinge mechanism on the frame, so that the arms of the glasses can be folded and stored, and can also be rotated to the angle required by the user for wearing. Since different users have different head shapes, head circumferences, pupil distances, etc., the rotation angles when wearing will vary. The hinge mechanism is required to be able to maintain a hovering state at any rotation angle to meet the wearing needs of different users. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a hinge mechanism, a frame, glasses and smart glasses, which can improve the above-mentioned technical problems and adapt to different users.

[0005] In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a rotating shaft mechanism, which is suitable for being set in glasses, wherein the glasses include a frame and temples, and the rotating shaft mechanism includes a first bracket for connecting to the frame, a second bracket for connecting to the temples, a rotating shaft, and a damping member, wherein the first bracket includes a first connecting portion, the first connecting portion is provided with a card slot, and the second bracket is provided with a second connecting portion. The rotating shaft is passed through the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion so that the second bracket can rotate relative to the first bracket. The damping member is slidably arranged in the card slot, and the damping member is connected to the second bracket, and when the two brackets rotate relative to the first bracket, the damping member is driven to slide in the card slot.

[0006] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a glasses frame, comprising a glasses frame, temples and the above-mentioned rotating shaft mechanism, wherein the first connecting portion is connected to the glasses frame, and the third connecting portion is connected to the temples.

[0007] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a pair of glasses, comprising the above-mentioned frame and lenses, wherein the lenses are mounted on the frame.

[0008] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a pair of smart glasses, comprising the above-mentioned frame, display unit, optical machine and flexible circuit board, wherein the display unit is arranged on the frame, the optical machine is arranged on the temple, one end of the flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the optical machine, and the other end is routed along the temple and the rotating shaft mechanism, and extends to the frame to be electrically connected to the display unit.

[0009] The hinge mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to glasses frames, glasses or smart glasses. By setting a slot on the first bracket, the damping element is set in the slot and connected to the second bracket. When the second bracket rotates relative to the first bracket, the damping element will be driven to rotate. Since the damping element rubs against the inner wall of the slot, a damping effect is formed on the damping element, so that the second bracket connected to the damping element can maintain a hovering posture and can maintain a good hovering effect at any angle, which is suitable for wearing by different users.

[0010] These and other aspects of the present application will become more clearly understood in the description of the following embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In order to facilitate storage, glasses in the related art usually have a rotating shaft mechanism on the frame, so that the temples of the glasses can be folded and stored, and can also be rotated to the angle required by the user for wearing. Due to the differences in head shape, head circumference, pupil distance, etc. of different users, the rotation angle when wearing will be different. It is necessary for the rotating shaft mechanism to be able to maintain a hovering state at any rotation angle to meet the wearing needs of different users. Based on this, the inventors of the present application have proposed the rotating shaft mechanism, frame, glasses and smart glasses of each embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the above-mentioned defects and provide the applicability of the frame of the glasses. The following is a detailed description of each embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a pair of glasses 10, wherein the glasses 10 include a frame 30 and a lens 20, and the lens 20 can be mounted on the frame 30. The lens 20 can be a plain lens, a myopia lens, a presbyopic lens, a filter lens, a color lens, and other types of lenses, which are not limited here. The lens 20 can be made of glass, resin, and other materials, which are not limited here. In some other embodiments, the lens 20 may not be provided, and the glasses 10 can only be used as a decorative tool for the user.

[0027] The frame 30 includes temples 50, a frame 40, and a rotating shaft mechanism 100, wherein the frame 40 is used to mount the lens 20, and the temples 50 are connected to the frame 40 and are used for the user to wear. It should be noted that the frame 40 and the temples 50 can be made of various materials such as metal, plastic, ceramic, etc., which are not limited here. The frame 40 can include two independent frame structures for mounting two separate lenses 20, which correspond to the left eye and the right eye of the user respectively.

[0028] There may be two temples 50, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the frame 40 and connected to the frame 40. The two temples 50 are arranged in a substantially symmetrical structure, and the temples 50 are hinged to the frame 40 through a rotating shaft mechanism 100, so as to store the temples 50. Specifically, the frame 40 is provided with an extension portion 41, which is bent relative to the frame 40, and the rotating shaft mechanism 100 is disposed at one end of the extension portion 41 away from the frame 40, and the temple 50 is connected to the rotating shaft mechanism 100, and one end of the temple 50 away from the rotating shaft mechanism 100 is bent to form an ear hook 55, and the ear hook 55 is suitable for hanging on the ear of the user.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The extension portion 41 forms a first content cavity 42, and a second content cavity 51 is formed in the temple 50. The second content cavity 51 is located at one end of the temple 50 close to the extension portion 41. The first content cavity 42 and the second content cavity 51 are used to assemble the rotating shaft mechanism 100, thereby covering the rotating shaft mechanism 100 and improving the aesthetics of the frame 30.

[0030] See also Figure 4 The rotating shaft mechanism 100 includes a first bracket 110, a second bracket 150, a rotating shaft 190 and a damping member 170, wherein the first bracket 110 is used to connect the lens frame 40, and the second bracket 150 is used to connect the temple 50. The first bracket 110 and the second bracket 150 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 190, so that the second bracket 150 can rotate relative to the first bracket 110. Specifically, the first bracket 110 can at least partially extend into the first inner cavity 42 and be fixed to the lens frame 40 by means of adhesive, screw connection, etc., and the second bracket 150 can at least partially extend into the second inner cavity 51 and be fixed to the temple 50 by means of adhesive, screw connection, etc. The damping member 170 is disposed in the first bracket 110 and connected to the second bracket 150, and is used to provide damping during the rotation of the second bracket 150 relative to the first bracket 110, so that the second bracket 150 can remain suspended during the rotation relative to the first bracket 110.

[0031] For details about this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The first bracket 110 includes a guide plate 111 and two first connecting parts 112 disposed at both ends of the guide plate 111. Each first connecting part 112 is provided with a first axial hole 113. The first axial hole 113 passes through the first connecting part 112, and the first axial holes 113 of the two first connecting parts 112 are coaxially arranged. The first connecting part 112 is used to install the rotating shaft 190. The two first connecting parts 112 are symmetrically distributed relative to the guide plate 111. The guide plate 111 is used to cooperate with the second bracket 150 to form a guide, so that the second bracket 150 maintains a predetermined track during the rotation process relative to the first bracket 110. In this embodiment, the guide plate 111 is configured to be arc-shaped, and the two first connecting parts 112 are located on the inner side of the guide plate 111.

[0032] In one embodiment, the two first connection parts 112 can be configured to be suitable for extending into the first inner cavity 42, so that when installed in the frame 40, the two first connection parts 112 can be embedded in the first inner cavity 42, so that the first bracket 110 can be shielded and the appearance of the frame can be improved. The two first connection parts 112 are arranged with a gap 165 between them, so that an installation space is formed between the two first connection parts 112.

[0033] Please refer again Figure 5Each first connection portion 112 is provided with a slot 114, and the slot 114 is used to set the damping member 170. In this embodiment, the slot 114 has an opening 115, and the opening direction of the opening 115 is toward the extension direction of the guide plate 111, that is, the opening direction of the slot 114 is toward the second bracket 150. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connection portion 112 includes a bottom wall 1141, a first side wall 1142, and a second side wall 1143 that surround the slot 114. The first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to opposite sides of the bottom wall 1141. The first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143 are substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 1141. An opening 115 is formed between one end of the first side wall 1142 away from the bottom wall 1141 and one end of the second side wall 1143 away from the bottom wall 1141. The first shaft hole 113 penetrates the first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143, and the axis direction of the first shaft hole 113 is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143. An assembly opening 116 is provided at one end of the slot 114, and the assembly opening 116 can be used for the damping member 170 to be embedded in the slot 114. In this embodiment, the assembly opening 116 is located at one end of the slot 114 close to the first shaft hole 113. In order to limit the movement of the damping member 170, the first connecting portion 112 may also include a third side wall 1144 that surrounds the slot 114, and the third side wall 1144 is connected to the bottom wall 1141, the first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143, and the third side wall 1144 is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143, and the third side wall 1144 is opposite to the assembly port 116.

[0034] In order to facilitate the subsequent setting of the damping member 170, a first protrusion 117 is provided on the side of the first side wall 1142 facing the second side wall 1143, and the first protrusion 117 is located at the end of the first side wall 1142 away from the bottom wall 1141. A second protrusion 118 is provided on the side of the second side wall 1143 facing the first side wall 1142, and the second protrusion 118 is located at the end of the second side wall 1143 away from the bottom wall 1141, that is, the first protrusion 117 and the second protrusion 118 are both provided at the opening 115, and the first protrusion 117 and the second protrusion 118 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first protrusion 117 and the second protrusion 118 are spaced 165 from each other. By providing the first protrusion 117 and the second protrusion 118, the inner diameter of the opening 115 becomes smaller, and the damping member 170 embedded in the card slot 114 can be restricted from escaping from the opening 115.

[0035] It is understandable that the structures of the two first connecting parts 112 may be the same. Providing two first connecting parts 112 can enhance the stability of the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 150 during the connection process. In some other embodiments, only one first connecting part 112 may be provided, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0036] Please also read Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second bracket 150 is used to connect with the temple 50 and can rotate relative to the first bracket 110. The second bracket 150 is provided with a second connecting portion 155, and the second connecting portion 155 can be embedded between the two first connecting portions 112. The second connecting portion 155 is provided with a second axial hole 156, and the second axial hole 156 can be coaxially arranged with the first axial holes 113 of the first connecting portions 112 on both sides of the second connecting portion 155. The rotating shaft 190 is penetrated through the first axial hole 113 and the second axial hole 156, so that the second bracket 150 can rotate relative to the first bracket 110.

[0037] For more details, please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the second bracket 150 includes an arc plate 151, a first cover plate 152, a second cover plate 153, a second connection portion 155 and a third connection portion 160. The first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the edge of the arc plate 151. In one embodiment, the second connection portion 155 can be directly connected to the inner side of the arc plate 151 and located between the first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153. When assembled, the first bracket 110 is arranged between the first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153, and the two first connection portions 112 are adjacent to the first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 respectively. The first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 can block the first connection portion 112, thereby improving the appearance of the hinge mechanism 100.

[0038] The spacing between the second connection part 155 and the first cover plate 152 and the spacing between the second connection part 155 and the second cover plate 153 are roughly equivalent to the thickness of the first connection part 112, so that the first connection part 112 can be conveniently embedded between the second connection part 155 and the first cover plate 152 / the second cover plate 153, and the compactness of the structure can be maintained. At the same time, the spacing between the two first connection parts 112 is roughly equal to the spacing between the second connection parts 155, so that the second connection part 155 can be conveniently embedded between the two first connection parts 112, and the compactness of the structure can be maintained.

[0039] In a more specific embodiment, the first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 can both be roughly arc-shaped structures and be consistent with the curvature of the arc plate 151. The first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 can be completely opposite to each other and symmetrically distributed on the opposite side edges of the arc plate 151. The guide plate 111 can fit with the arc plate 151, and in the process of the second bracket 150 rotating relative to the first bracket 110, it always slides and fits with the inner side of the arc plate 151, thereby playing a guiding role. The curvature of the guide plate 111 can be configured to be consistent with the curvature of the arc plate 151. Further, the first connecting portion 112 can also be provided with a step, and the first cover plate 152 and the second cover plate 153 can be respectively embedded in the steps of the two first connecting portions 112. By providing the step, a guiding effect can be formed on the second bracket 150, thereby improving the stability of the second bracket 150 when rotating relative to the first bracket 110.

[0040] The third connection portion 160 is connected to the arc plate 151 and is used to connect with the damping member 170, and then drive the damping member 170 to slide in the slot 114 during the rotation of the second bracket 150 relative to the first bracket 110. In this embodiment, the second connection portion 155 is connected to the third connection portion 160, and then fixed relative to the arc plate 151.

[0041] In this embodiment, the damping member 170 can be slidably disposed in the slot 114, and the damping member 170 is connected to the third connecting portion 160. When the damping member 170 slides in the slot 114, sliding friction will occur with the walls that surround the slot 114 (i.e., at least one of the aforementioned bottom wall 1141, the first side wall 1142, and the second side wall 1143), thereby generating a damping force, so that the second bracket 150 cannot rotate independently relative to the first bracket 110. Only when driven by an external force and overcoming the friction resistance between the damping member 170 and the walls that surround the slot 114, can the damping member 170 slide relative to the slot 114, and then the second bracket 150 can rotate relative to the first bracket 110. In this way, the second bracket 150 can hover at any angle relative to the first bracket 110 during the rotation process.

[0042] The damping member 170 can extend directly from the opening 115 to the slot 114 and be connected to the third connecting portion 160. Figure 4 and Figure 7The shaft mechanism 100 may further include a crank 180 and a pivot 185, one end of the crank 180 is rotatably connected to the damping member 170, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third connection portion 160 of the second bracket 150. By setting the crank 180, when the second bracket 150 rotates relative to the first bracket 110, the crank 180 is driven to move, driving the damping member 170 to slide along the extension direction of the slot 114. Since the crank 180 is rotatably connected to the damping member 170 and the third connection portion 160, interference is not likely to occur during the rotation of the second bracket 150 relative to the first bracket 110, and the rotation process is smoother.

[0043] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, the crank 180 is provided with a first through hole 181 and a second through hole 182, both of which pass through the crank 180, and the first through hole 181 and the second through hole 182 are provided at both ends of the length direction of the crank 180, and the axial direction of the first through hole 181 and the axial direction of the second through hole 182 are roughly parallel to each other. The damping member 170 includes a connecting column 171 and a first damping block 172 and a second damping block 173 opposite to each other. The connecting column 171 is connected between the first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173, and the cross-sectional areas of the first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173 are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting column 171. Meanwhile, the cross-sectional areas of the first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173 are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 181. The connecting column 171 is sleeved in the first through hole 181 of the crank 180 and can rotate relative to the crank 180. The first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173 are located outside the crank 180 and on opposite sides of the crank 180, so that the damping member 170 cannot fall out of the crank 180.

[0044] The pivot 185 can be inserted into the second through hole 182 and rotatably connected to the third connecting portion 160, so that the crank 180 can also rotate relative to the second bracket 150. During the rotation of the second bracket 150 relative to the first bracket 110, the second bracket 150 can rotate relative to the crank 180, and the crank 180 is subjected to the traction force of the second bracket 150, which drives the damping member 170 to slide in the slot 114.

[0045] The first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173 are fitted with the wall surrounding the slot 114, specifically, the first damping block 172 is fitted with the first side wall 1142, and the second damping block 173 is fitted with the second side wall 1143. The first damping block 172 is limited by the first protrusion 117, and the second damping block 173 is limited by the second damping block 173, so the damping member 170 will not fall out of the opening 115. In the assembled state, since the rotating shaft 190 is inserted into the first shaft hole 113, the rotating shaft 190 is adjacent to the assembly opening 116, and is blocked by the rotating shaft 190, so the damping member 170 will not fall out of the assembly opening 116, thereby limiting the damping member 170.

[0046] It should be noted that the first damping block 172 and the first side wall 1142 are in hard contact with each other when they are fitted, that is, the first damping block 172 generates pressure on the first side wall 1142, so that when the first damping block 172 slides relative to the first side wall 1142, friction can be generated between the two. Similarly, the second damping block 173 and the second side wall 1143 are in hard contact with each other when they are fitted, that is, the second damping block 173 generates pressure on the second side wall 1143, so that when the second damping block 173 slides relative to the second side wall 1143, friction can be generated between the two. The first damping block 172 and the second damping block 173 can be made of metal, plastic and other materials, which is not limited in this embodiment. In some other embodiments, only the first damping block 172 or the second damping block 173 can be set, and the damping member 170 can also adopt other forms, as long as it is ensured that the damping member 170 can generate sliding friction with the wall surrounding the slot 114.

[0047] In order to increase the friction between the damping member 170 and the wall surrounding the slot 114, the first side wall 1142 and the second side wall 1143 may be set as a rough surface to enhance the friction. At the same time, in one embodiment, the surface of the first damping block 172 and / or the second damping block 173 that contacts the first side wall 1142 or the second side wall 1143 may be provided with mutually matching bite lines, and the bite lines may be, for example, wavy and extended along the extension direction of the slot 114. By providing the bite lines, the contact area between the damping member 170 and the wall surrounding the slot 114 may be increased, the friction may be increased, and at the same time, a guiding effect may be formed for the sliding of the damping member 170.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are two damping members 170, and the two damping members 170 are respectively arranged in the slots 114 of the two first connecting parts 112. Similarly, there are two cranks 180, and the two cranks 180 are respectively connected to one damping member 170, and extend out of the opening 115 of the slot 114, and are rotatably connected to the third connecting part 160 of the second bracket 150.

[0049] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 To facilitate the assembly of the crank 180, the third connecting portion 160 includes a body 161 and a first end 162 and a second end 163 connected to both ends of the body 161. The first end 162 and the second end 163 are connected to the arc plate 151, and the second connecting portion 155 is connected to the body 161. The first end 162 and the second end 163 are provided with a mounting groove 164 facing the first bracket 110. At the same time, the second end 162 and the third end 163 are also provided with a mounting hole 166. The axial direction of the mounting hole 166 is consistent with the axial direction of the pivot 185, and is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the first shaft hole 113 and the axial direction of the second shaft hole 156. The mounting hole 166 provided at the first end 162 can pass through the first end 162, and the mounting hole 166 provided at the third end 163 can pass through the second end 163. One end of the crank 180 with the second through hole 182 is embedded in the mounting groove 164, and the pivot 185 passes through the mounting hole 166 of the first end 162 or the second end 163 and is inserted into the second through hole 183 to form a connection, so that the crank 180 can rotate relative to the second bracket 150, and can be driven by the second bracket 150 to move, thereby driving the damping member 170 to move.

[0050] During the rotation of the second bracket 150 relative to the first bracket 110, there are two states. One is the unfolded state of the frame relative to the frame 40 (eg, Figure 8 One is the folded state of the frame relative to the frame 40 (the inward folded state is as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 In this embodiment, refer to Fig.10 When the temple 50 is in the unfolded state relative to the frame, the damping member 170 is located at one end close to the third side wall 1144. Referring to FIG. 11 , when the temple 50 is folded relative to the frame 40, the second bracket 150 is driven to rotate relative to the first bracket 110. At this time, the damping member 170 slides along the slot 114 driven by the crank 180 and the second bracket 150, slides toward the assembly opening 116, and finally approaches the assembly opening 116.

[0051] When the temple 50 is in the unfolded state relative to the frame, for different users, due to different head shapes, for people with large heads, the temple 50 may be stretched out and then "folded outward" relative to the frame. In this process, if a large outward folding angle is reserved for the second bracket 150, the temple 50 will not be able to clamp the head well when people with small heads use it, causing the frame to fall off easily. Therefore, in this embodiment, please continue to refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11The rotating shaft mechanism 100 may further include an elastic member 195, which is disposed in the slot 114 and is located at an end of the slot 114 away from the rotating shaft 190, that is, the elastic member 195 is disposed in the slot 114 and abuts against the third side wall 1144. When the damping member 170 rotates to a position in contact with the elastic member 195, the temple 50 and the frame 40 are in an unfolded state. When the temple 50 continues to rotate until the second bracket 150 is in an outward folded state, the damping member 170 will press against the elastic member 195. At this time, the elastic member 195 applies an elastic force to the damping member 170, which drives the damping member 170 to move toward the rotating shaft 190, so that the temple 50 clamps the user's head, so that it can adapt to users with different head shapes and improve the adaptability of the frame. The elastic member 195 can be fixed to the third side wall 1144 in the slot 114 by means of adhesive or the like, so as to prevent the elastic member 195 from shaking in the slot 114 .

[0052] The elastic member 195 may be a spring, elastic rubber, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. In one embodiment, the elastic member 195 is a silicone block. The advantage of using a silicone block is that it is easy to process the elastic member 195 into a form that fits the card slot 114, so that the elastic member 195 can be stably assembled in the card slot 114 and is not easy to fall out or deform. At the same time, the elastic deformation ability of silicone is relatively strong, but the elastic force is relatively gentle. When the user folds the temple 50 outward, the elastic force applied by the silicone block to the damping member 170 will not be too large, which is not likely to cause the user to have a strong clamping feeling when wearing it, and the user experience is better. At the same time, silicone is not easy to generate noise during compression or deformation, and can also form a larger contact area with the damping member 170, providing a better buffering effect.

[0053] It is understandable that in some other implementations, the elastic member 195 may also be in other forms. For example, the elastic member 195 may be configured as a tension spring, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] The hinge mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured by setting a slot 114 on the first bracket 110, setting the damping member 170 in the slot 114, and connecting with the second bracket 150. When the second bracket 150 rotates relative to the first bracket 110, the damping member 170 is driven to rotate. Since the damping member 170 rubs against the inner wall of the slot 114, a damping effect is formed on the damping member 170, so that the second bracket 150 connected to the damping member 170 can maintain a hovering posture and can maintain a good hovering effect at any angle, so as to adapt to the wearing of different users.

[0055] Specifically, when the user needs to unfold the folded frame, the temple 50 is driven to rotate relative to the frame 40. At this time, the temple 50 drives the second bracket 150 to rotate, and the second bracket 150 drives the damping member 170 to slide relative to the slot 114 through the crank 180, thereby generating a damping force. When the user cancels the external force at any angle, the temple 50 will not continue to rotate due to the resistance of the damping member 170 and remain in a suspended state. When the temple 50 is fully unfolded and worn on the user's head, the damping member 170 presses against the elastic member 195, and the elastic member 195 provides an elastic force to the damping member 170, and makes the temple 50 have a tendency to move toward the folded state, thereby generating a clamping force to clamp the user's head. Similarly, when the user needs to fold the unfolded frame, the temple 50 is driven to rotate relative to the frame 40. At this time, the temple 50 drives the second bracket 150 to rotate, and the second bracket 150 drives the damping member 170 to slide relative to the slot 114 through the crank 180, thereby generating a damping force. When the user cancels the external force at any angle, the temple 50 will not continue to rotate due to the resistance of the damping member 170 and will remain in a hovering state.

[0056] In another embodiment, Fig.12 As shown, the glasses 10 can also be smart glasses, which may include a frame 30, a display unit 70, an optical engine 60, and a flexible circuit board (not shown). The structure of the frame 30 can be found in the aforementioned content and will not be repeated here.

[0057] The optical machine 60 is arranged on the temple 50 and is used to modulate the image light to project the image on the display unit 70. The optical machine 60 can be various types of optical machine 60 systems, which are not specifically limited here. The optical machine 60 can be one, two, or multiple. In this embodiment, there is one optical machine 60, which is arranged on one temple 50 and loaded on the top of the temple 50. The display unit 70 is arranged on the frame 40, wherein the display unit 70 can be a semi-transparent and semi-reflective lens 20. For example, the display unit 70 can transmit visible light except red light and can reflect red light. The image light modulated by the optical machine 60 can use red light. When the image light is projected onto the display unit 70, it is reflected into the human eye. The user can see the content projected by the optical machine 60. At the same time, the visible light other than red light in the ambient light can enter the human eye through the display unit 70. The user can see the objects in the environment while watching the content projected by the optical machine 60. In another embodiment, a common lens 20 may be disposed on the frame 40, and the display unit 70 is disposed on the frame 40 and located in front of the lens 20, forming a display interface independent of the lens 20. No specific limitation is made herein.

[0058] One end of the flexible printed circuit (FPC) is electrically connected to the optical machine 60, and the other end is electrically connected to the display unit 70 to form a signal transmission path between the optical machine 60 and the display unit 70, wherein the flexible printed circuit can be routed along the temple 50 and pass through the hinge mechanism 100.

[0059] In order to hide the flexible circuit board and protect the flexible circuit board, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The arc plate 151 is provided with a notch 158, and the notch 158 corresponds to the second connecting portion 155. When the second bracket 150 is in an unfolded state relative to the mirror frame 40, a portion of the second bracket 150 extends into the first content cavity 42. At this time, the portion of the arc plate 151 where the notch 158 is provided is located in the first content cavity 42 and is connected to the first content cavity 42.

[0060] At the same time, a gap 165 is formed between the body 161 and the curved plate 151, and the notch 158 corresponds to the gap 165 and is connected to form a channel for the wire harness to pass through. The wire harness may include, for example, the aforementioned flexible circuit board. In addition, the wire harness may also be other cables, optical cables, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment. The gap 165 may be connected to the second inner cavity 51 of the temple 50. When routing, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the direction of the dotted arrow S, the flexible circuit board passes through the second inner cavity 51 and passes through the gap 165 and the gap 158 to enter the first inner cavity 42. Since the gap 158 and the gap 165 can be configured to be larger in size, the channel for the wire harness to pass through is relatively spacious, and more wire harnesses can be set. In addition, the channel will not interfere with the first connecting portion 112, the second connecting portion 155, and the third connecting portion 160, and the wire harness will not be damaged during the folding or unfolding of the temple 50. At the same time, the third connecting portion 160 can also have a certain limiting effect on the wire harness to prevent the wire harness from twisting in the channel.

[0061] It should be noted that the smart glasses 10 provided in this embodiment can be smart glasses 10 based on virtual reality technology (VR), which is a computer simulation system that can create and experience a virtual world. It uses a computer to generate a simulated environment to immerse the user in the environment. Virtual reality technology uses real-life data, electronic signals generated by computer technology, and combines them with various output devices to transform them into phenomena that people can feel. These phenomena can be real objects in reality or substances that are invisible to our naked eyes, which are expressed through three-dimensional models.

[0062] It can also be a smart glasses 10 based on augmented reality (AR) technology, which is a technology that cleverly integrates virtual information with the real world and superimposes virtual display content on the real scene. It generates virtual information such as visual images, sounds, etc. through computer technology; then applies the virtual information to the real world. Virtual reality technology not only displays real-world information, but also can display virtual information at the same time, and the two types of information complement and overlap each other.

[0063] It can also be a smart glasses 10 based on Mixed Reality (MR) technology, which introduces real scene information into the virtual environment, builds an interactive feedback information loop between the virtual world, the real world and the user, so as to enhance the realism of the user experience.

[0064] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
