DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The present invention relates to a variable-focus mirror, comprising a mirror frame 100, a lens 300 and a pump member 500.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the frame 100 can be assembled by an upper frame body 101 and a lower frame body 102. A transparent plate 200 is installed on the frame 100. The transparent plate 200 is made of a transparent material, that is, the other side can be seen through the transparent plate 200 from one side of the transparent plate 200. Exemplarily, the transparent plate 200 can be made of transparent glass material, or transparent plastic material, etc. The lens 300 is a soft lens, and the lens 300 can be formed by electroplating chrome on one or both sides of an ABS plastic sheet with a thickness of 1 mm. The lens 300 can be circular, oval, rectangular, etc. In this embodiment, the lens 300 is set to be circular, and correspondingly, the transparent plate 200 is also set to be circular, and the basic shape of the frame 100 is also set to be circular. The lens 300 is installed in the frame 100. In the direction shown in the figure, one side (front side) of the lens 300 faces the transparent plate 200, and the lens 300 and the transparent plate 200 define an airtight first space 401 in the frame 100. The other side (rear side) of the lens 300 faces the back of the frame 100, and the rear side of the lens 300 and the rear inner wall of the frame 100 define an airtight second space 402. The lens 300 will deform in the frame 100, and the deformation state of the lens 300 includes at least a plane state and a concave state. When the lens 300 is in a plane state, the lens 300 is in the shape of a plane mirror; when the lens 300 is deformed from the plane state to the concave state, the lens 300 is concave from its center to the back of the frame 100, so that the lens 300 is in the shape of a concave mirror as a whole. The volume of the first space 401 and the volume of the second space 402 will change with the deformation of the lens 300. The pump 500 is connected to the frame 100, and one end of the pump 500 can be connected to the first space 401 through an air pipe, and the other end can be connected to the second space 402 through another air pipe. The pump component 500 can work in both forward and reverse directions. The pump component 500 can pump the fluid in the first space 401 to the second space 402, and can also pump the fluid in the second space 402 to the first space 401. The pump component 500 can be an air pump or a liquid pump. When the pump component 500 is an air pump, the fluid in the first space 401 and the second space 402 is a gas, such as air or an inert gas. When the pump component 500 is a liquid pump, the fluid in the first space 401 and the second space 402 is a liquid, such as pure water. The pump component 500 preferably adopts an air pump. When in use, Figure 3 As shown, when the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the first space 401 to the second space 402, a pressure difference appears on both sides of the lens 300. The pressure in the first space 401 gradually decreases and the volume also decreases, while the pressure in the second space 402 gradually increases and the volume increases, and the lens 300 gradually deforms to a flat state. The user uses the lens 300 as a plane mirror through the transparent plate 200. Figure 4As shown, when the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the second space 402 to the first space 401, a pressure difference appears on both sides of the lens 300, the pressure in the second space 402 gradually decreases and the volume also decreases, the pressure in the first space 401 gradually increases and the volume increases, and the lens 300 gradually deforms to a concave state. The user uses the lens 300 as a concave magnifying glass through the transparent plate 200. It is very convenient to quickly switch the use state of the zoom mirror by controlling the forward and reverse air pumping of the pump 500; and the fluid capacity between the first space 401 and the second space 402 can be basically constant, ensuring the stability of the deformation process of the lens 300.

[0035] The present invention also relates to a wardrobe, and the wardrobe is applied with a variable-focus mirror of any embodiment. The variable-focus mirror can be fixedly installed on the wardrobe, and can be switched between the functional states of a plane mirror and a magnifying mirror, without swinging or flipping the variable-focus mirror to switch to a different mirror surface, thereby saving space.

[0036] In one embodiment, the surface of the transparent plate 200 facing the lens 300 is a flat surface. It is understandable that the transparent plate 200 can be a flat structure as a whole, and the two side surfaces of the transparent plate 200 are both flat surfaces. When the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the first space 401 to the second space 402, the lens 300 deforms toward the transparent plate 200, and the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the first space 401 to a vacuum or near-vacuum state. The lens 300 is deformed to be attached to the rear flat surface of the transparent plate 200, and the deformation of the lens 300 is positioned. At this time, the lens 300 is also deformed to a planar state. The flatness of the lens 300 in a planar state is limited by the transparent plate 200.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting member 600 is installed in the second space 402. The limiting member 600 is used to position the lens 300 when it is deformed toward a concave state. When the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the second space 402 to the first space 401, the lens 300 gradually sinks backward until the rear side of the lens 300 abuts against the limiting member 600, and the lens 300 is positioned at the current deformation position as the final concave state position. Exemplarily, the limiting member 600 can be a concave mesh, plate, etc.

[0038] Based on the above embodiment, the stopper 600 is a plate. The side of the stopper 600 facing the lens 300 is in an arc shape, and the arc surface is concave in the direction away from the lens 300. It can be understood that the stopper 600 can be an arc plate as a whole, and the front and rear sides of the stopper 600 are both in an arc shape. It is also possible that the stopper 600 is only in an arc shape on one side facing the lens 300, and the other side can be a plane or other shapes. A plurality of first through holes 610 are provided on the stopper 600. When the pump 500 pumps the fluid in the second space 402 to the first space 401, the fluid between the lens 300 and the limiting member 600 can flow to the other side of the limiting member 600 through the first through hole 610. The lens 300 abuts against the limiting member 600, and the concave surface of the limiting member 600 increases the contact surface with the lens 300, which can make the lens 300 positioned in a concave state and receive uniform force at all locations when deformed, thereby making the image of the lens 300 uniform after forming a concave mirror, without the problem of local convexity and concavity.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the periphery of the lens 300 is clamped between the transparent plate 200 and the stopper 600. When the lens 300 is deformed, the periphery is fastened by the transparent plate 200 and the stopper 600. A first flow channel 110 is provided on the frame 100, and a plurality of second through holes 210 are opened in the circumferential direction on the transparent plate 200. It is understandable that two, three or more second through holes 210 can be provided. The plurality of second through holes 210 can be distributed at equal intervals. There is a certain interval between the periphery of the transparent plate 200 and the inner wall of the frame 100, and a third space 403 is formed at the interval. The first flow channel 110, the third space 403, the second through holes 210 and the first space 401 are connected in sequence. One end of the pump member 500 can be connected to the first flow channel 110 through an air pipe. The third space 403 is equivalent to being arranged along the circumference of the lens 300, and in combination with the arrangement of the plurality of second through holes 210, the fluid can be quickly and evenly transported between the third space 403 and the first space 401. When switching to the plane state, the fluid in the first space 401 can be exhausted as much as possible to form a vacuum, ensuring clear imaging without deformation when used as a plane mirror.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, a convex edge 620 protruding in the axial direction is provided on the side of the stopper 600 facing the transparent plate 200. The convex edge 620 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the stopper 600. The ring shape of the convex edge 620 is adapted to the peripheral contour shape of the lens 300. A sealing ring 700 is installed at the circumferential inner wall of the convex edge 620. The sealing ring 700 abuts on the transparent plate 200, and the periphery of the lens 300 abuts on the sealing ring 700. In this way, the airtightness of the first space 401 is ensured, and the first space 401 is connected to the third space 403 only through each second through hole 210 to transport the fluid.

[0041] Furthermore, the frame 100 is provided with a second flow channel 120. The second flow channel 120 is communicated with the second space 402. One end of the pump 500 can be communicated with the second flow channel 120 through an air pipe.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a laser emitting module 810 and a laser receiving module 820. The laser emitting module 810 and the laser receiving module 820 are installed in the second space 402. Among them, the pump member 500, the laser emitting module 810 and the laser receiving module 820 can be electrically connected to the same control circuit board 830 through a wire, and the control circuit board 830 can be installed in the second space 402 or outside the frame 100. A reflector 310 is provided on the side of the lens 300 facing the second space 402. Among them, the reflector 310 can be set at the center of the lens 300. The laser emitting module 810, the laser receiving module 820 and the reflector 310 are used in combination. Specifically, when the lens 300 is deformed to a planar state, the rays generated by the laser emitting module 810 when working can be reflected to the laser receiving module 820 through the reflector 310. The laser receiving module 820 receives the radiation to form a first closing signal, and knows that the lens 300 has been switched to the position. The laser receiving module 820 feeds back the first closing signal to the control circuit board 830, and the control circuit board 830 controls the pump 500 to stop working. When the lens 300 deforms from the planar state to the concave state, it drives the reflector 310 to move backward, and the reflector 310 leaves the radiation path of the laser emitting module 810. The radiation of the laser emitting module 810 cannot be obtained by the laser receiving module 820. The laser emitting module 810 forms a second closing signal and feeds back to the control circuit board 830, and the control circuit board 830 controls the pump 500 to stop working.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a boss 130 is provided on the inner wall of the frame 100 in the second space 402. A light hole 131 is provided on the boss 130. The rays generated by the laser emitting module 810 pass through the light hole 131 and irradiate the reflective sheet 310. A groove body that avoids the projection path of the rays can also be provided on the limiter 600. During production and assembly, it can be determined whether the laser emitting module 810 is installed in place by detecting whether the rays can pass through the light hole 131 according to the relative position of the laser emitting module 810 and the light hole 131.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, the pump 500 can be controlled by installing a control button on the mirror frame 100 to select the plane mirror function and the magnifying glass function through the control case. Alternatively, a remote control module such as a Bluetooth module, an infrared module or a WIFI module can be set on the control circuit board 830 to switch the remote control function.
