[0028] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0029] The waveguide lens and the frame are usually fixedly connected and cannot be disassembled and replaced. Although the integrated design enhances the integrity of the product, it also leads to many limitations in function expansion and user experience. For example, users do not need the display function most of the time, but the waveguide lens will always be placed in front of the user's eyes. As a plano lens, the waveguide lens currently has some problems:

[0030] Reflection light problem: Waveguide lenses usually have multiple coatings and optical treatments to effectively guide light when displaying content. However, these coatings and structures may produce strong reflected light when no content is being displayed, making the lens look somewhat reflective. This may affect the transparency and visual effect of the lens, especially in strong light environments, where rainbow patterns are likely to occur.

[0031] Thickness and weight: Waveguide lenses are usually designed to be relatively thick because they need to accommodate multiple optical layers and waveguide structures. For myopic users, a refractive lens needs to be added on top of the original display module, resulting in an increase in the overall weight of the frame. Prolonged wear can easily cause fatigue to the user.

[0032] Therefore, in some scenarios where display is not required, users still have to endure the above-mentioned drawbacks.

[0033] Combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the smart glasses provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure include a frame 1, a first lens frame 2, and a second lens frame 3. The first lens frame 2 is equipped with an optical engine 20 and a waveguide lens 22, and the second lens frame 3 is equipped with an optical lens; the frame 1 is detachably connected to the first lens frame 2 and / or the second lens frame 3. The frame 1 can be selectively connected to one of the first lens frame 2 and the second lens frame 3, or can be connected to both the first lens frame 2 and the second lens frame 3 at the same time. Among them, the frame 1 is provided with a first connector 111, and the first lens frame 2 is provided with a second connector 21. The first connector 111 and the second connector 21 are detachably connected. Optionally, the first connector 111 and the second connector 21 can be connected by snap connection, can also be connected by plug connection, or can be connected by magnetic connection. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 21 are connected, the first connector 111 and the second connector 21 are electrically connected. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is detachably connected to both the first lens frame 2 and the second lens frame 3, enabling the user to replace the first lens frame 2 with the second lens frame 3 in scenarios where waveguide-provided visual information is not required, thereby eliminating the impact of waveguide reflected light in the first lens frame 2 on the user's vision, achieving "invisible" wearing in the screen-off state, reducing the weight of the smart glasses, and improving wearing comfort.

[0034] When the first connector 111 is plugged into the second connector 21, the first connector 111 and the second connector 21 are electrically connected. Since the first spectacle frame 2 and the spectacle frame 1 have a detachable electrical connection, other functional modules can be extended, such as an electrochromic spectacle frame, an eye tracking module, and a waveguide display module spectacle frame, etc., to improve the scene adaptation ability of the smart glasses and meet diverse needs. Optionally, it further includes a third spectacle frame provided with a third connector. When the third spectacle frame is plugged into the spectacle frame 1, the third connector is electrically connected to the first connector 111. The third spectacle frame can be an electrochromic spectacle frame, an eye tracking module, and a waveguide display module spectacle frame.

[0035] The waveguide lens 22 is an optical waveguide lens. Optical waveguide is a medium that can guide light waves to propagate therein. After the waveguide lens 22 receives the light rays emitted by the optical engine 20, it refracts and reflects the light rays to various parts of the waveguide lens 22 through its own light propagation, so as to present corresponding images on the waveguide lens 22 and display them to the user wearing it.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first spectacle frame 2 provided with the waveguide optical engine 20 is connected to the spectacle frame 1, that is, an AR smart glasses with a display module is formed. It has functions such as display, shooting, audio playback, and recording.

[0037] Remove the first spectacle frame 2 provided with the waveguide optical engine 20 and connect the second spectacle frame 3 installed with optical lenses to the spectacle frame assembly, that is, a smart glasses without a display module is formed. It still has other functions except for display.

[0038] Optionally, since the first spectacle frame 2 and the spectacle frame 1 are electrically connected, the first spectacle frame 2 with more functions can be upgraded.

[0039] The first spectacle frame 2 may include:

[0040] 1. The first spectacle frame 2 composed of a waveguide lens 22 laminated with an electrochromic film can adjust the light transmittance through the electrochromic film while realizing AR display.

[0041] 2. The first spectacle frame 2 composed of an eye movement sensor module and a waveguide lens 22 can realize AR display and eye movement tracking.

[0042] 3. The first waveguide optical engine spectacle frame 2 composed of an optical engine with higher resolution can improve the display quality.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the first spectacle frame 2 or the second spectacle frame 3 is snap-connected or magnetically connected to the spectacle frame 1, which is convenient for replacing the first spectacle frame 2 or the second spectacle frame 3.

The battery 8 is used to power the controller 7, the microphone 4, the speaker 5, the camera 6 and the waveguide lens 22. The controller 7 includes a circuit board and a functional device installed on the circuit board, and the circuit board of the controller 7 can be a PCB board or a flexible circuit board. The microphone 4 is used to collect control voice, the speaker 5 is used to output audio to the user, and the speaker 5 can complete the voice interaction between the user and the smart glasses device. The camera 6 can take pictures. In an offline state, the microphone 4 can recognize the wake-up word set by the user in advance to send a wake-up control signal to the controller 7, thereby waking up the smart glasses, and then the collected voice signal completes the audio signal collection, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital signal output to the main chip on the controller 7 in the microphone 4, and the voice signal is processed and identified, and the smart glasses can be controlled accordingly to complete the interaction between the user and the smart glasses. The controller 7 receives the wake-up signal and the voice digital signal sent by the microphone 4, wakes up the smart glasses device, turns on the camera 6 according to the command, shoots the scene observed by the human eye, and transmits the video data stream to the main chip on the controller 7 for processing. The captured picture can be displayed on the waveguide lens 22 in real time according to the command.

[0046] Optionally, when facing the need to capture photos, there is no need to rely on hand operations. The smart glasses can be quickly awakened and photographed through voice, and the captured images can be directly displayed on the waveguide lens 22. In this way, the user can see the real scene and the captured images more clearly while wearing the glasses.

[0047] Optionally, voice control can be used to quickly capture photos, and the real scene and the captured image can be displayed synchronously.

At the same time, expansion components such as a signal receiver can also be arranged in the bracket 11.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, a processor 9 is further included. The processor 9 is configured to control the optical engine 20 to project the corresponding image onto the waveguide lens 22 according to the acquired image information to be played, so as to form an image in the human eye. The processor 9 can control the optical engine 20 to emit light rays corresponding to the image according to the image information to be played and project them onto the waveguide lens 22 through the incident aperture, and then after multiple diffractions of the waveguide lens 22, the image is formed in the human eye so that the user can see the corresponding image.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, a wireless communication module is further included.
