Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wearable device technology, specifically to a smart pair of glasses and a smart wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] Augmented Reality (AR) technology, also known as augmented reality, is a relatively new technology that integrates real-world information with virtual-world information. After the real environment and virtual objects overlap, they can coexist in the same scene and space. In visual augmented reality, users need to use smart wearable devices to make the real world and virtual images overlap and be displayed.

[0003] Currently, AR glasses, as wearable glasses, need to be designed to fit various nose shapes. Due to the significant differences in nose shapes among individuals, a single nose pad cannot meet the comfortable wearing needs of a wide range of users. Therefore, multiple nose pads of different sizes are usually provided to meet user needs. However, replacing the nose pads requires specialized tools, making the process cumbersome. In addition, existing detachable nose pad structures usually require specialized fixing structures, such as buttons, screws, and injection-molded nose pads. Although these structures can be detached, they are large and costly, making them unsuitable for information-prompting AR glasses (which are similar in size to regular glasses), thus affecting user experience and the product's cost competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a smart glasses and a smart wearable device to solve the problems of existing glasses nose pads having complex structures, occupying a lot of space, having high costs, being difficult for users to disassemble, and affecting the user experience.

[0005] The smart glasses provided by the present invention include: a frame and a nose pad module detachably disposed within the frame; wherein, the nose pad module includes two nose pad hanging walls, an arc-shaped connecting portion connecting the two nose pad hanging walls, an elongated wall disposed on the nose pad hanging walls, and a nose pad fixing groove disposed on the elongated wall; fixing grooves corresponding to the two nose pad hanging walls are respectively disposed on the outer side wall of the frame, the two nose pad hanging walls are used to elastically deform under external pressure to enter between the two fixing grooves, and to expand outward when the external force disappears, so that the nose pad module is partially or completely confined in the fixing groove on the corresponding side; a nose pad is disposed in the nose pad fixing groove.

[0006] In addition, an optional technical solution is that the frame is equipped with at least two different types of nose pad modules; wherein the length and angle of the extension wall of the different types of nose pad modules are different, and the distance between the two pads is adjusted by adjusting the length and angle of the extension wall, so as to realize the size adjustment of the different types of nose pad modules.

[0007] Alternatively, an optional technical solution is to provide nose pad side hooks extending from the ends of the two nose pad hanging walls, and to provide a slot corresponding to the position of the nose pad side hooks and a clearance slot corresponding to the position of the extended wall in the fixing groove; wherein, when the nose pad hanging wall is limited in the fixing groove, the nose pad side hooks are inserted into the slots on the corresponding side, and the extended wall is clearance slotted in the clearance slots on the corresponding side.

[0008] Alternatively, an optional technical solution is to provide a circuit board, an elastic connector connected to the circuit board, and an antenna through-hole communicating with the elastic connector within the frame; a raised antenna feed point is provided on the arc-shaped connecting part; when the nose pad wall is limited within the fixed groove, the antenna feed point contacts the elastic connector through the antenna through-hole.

[0009] Alternatively, an optional technical solution is to provide two C-shaped positioning grooves with oppositely distributed positions inside the frame; the circuit board is pushed and pulled into the two positioning grooves on both sides and fixedly connected by adhesive dispensing.

[0010] In addition, an optional technical solution is that the material of the eyeglass frame is at least one of plastic, ceramic or non-conductive composite material; the nose pad module is an integrally molded structure, and the material of the nose pad module is at least one of titanium alloy, stainless steel, high-strength steel, liquid metal or conductive composite material.

[0011] In addition, an optional technical solution is that the elastic modulus of the nose pad module is in the range of 80Gpa-2000Gpa.

[0012] In addition, an optional technical solution is that the wall thickness of the nose pad module is 0.2mm-2.0mm; and the width of the elongated wall is 0.8mm-3.0mm.

[0013] Alternatively, the frame may include a front frame and a rear frame, wherein the nose pad module is disposed within the rear frame and / or the front frame.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a smart wearable device, including the aforementioned smart glasses.

[0015] Using the aforementioned smart glasses and wearable devices, when installing the nose pad module in the smart glasses, external force is applied to compress the two nose pad hanging walls, causing them to elastically deform and placing them between the two fixed grooves in the frame. Then, the external force on the nose pad hanging walls is removed, and they automatically expand outward under elastic action, thus partially or completely confining the nose pad module within the corresponding fixed groove, completing the installation of the nose pad module. The disassembly process is similar. Furthermore, to meet the wearing needs of different users, the length and angle of the extension wall can be adjusted to change the size between the two pads, allowing for the provision of multiple sizes of nose pad modules. Users can flexibly replace them according to their needs. The nose pad module has a simple structure, is easy to use, low in cost, and occupies little space, making it suitable for various types of smart glasses.

[0025] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth for illustrative purposes and to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it will be apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form for ease of description of one or more embodiments.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0027] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have the same meaning as in the context of the prior art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless defined as herein.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, several specific embodiments will be further explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Figures 1 to 6 The exploded schematic structure, partial schematic structure, installation principle and dimension markings of the smart glasses according to embodiments of the present invention are shown from different angles.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, the smart glasses of this invention include a frame and a nose pad module detachably disposed within the frame; wherein, the nose pad module further includes two symmetrically distributed nose pad hanging walls 51, an arc-shaped connecting portion connecting the two nose pad hanging walls 51, an elongated wall 55 disposed on the nose pad hanging wall 51, and a nose pad fixing groove 52 disposed on the elongated wall 55, wherein the nose pad 5a, which directly contacts the user's nose, is limited and fixed within the nose pad fixing groove 52; in addition, the outer side wall of the frame is also provided with a groove corresponding to the two nose pad hanging walls 51. The two nose pad hanging walls 51 can elastically deform inward under the pressure of external force to enter between the two fixed grooves 21 of the frame. Then, when the external force is removed, the two nose pad hanging walls 51 expand outward when the external force disappears. Part of the nose pad module or the nose pad module is completely confined in the corresponding fixed groove 21, thus completing the assembly of the nose pad module and the frame. The size between the two nose pads can be adjusted by adjusting the length and angle of the extension wall 55 to meet the wearing needs of different users.

[0031] One frame can be configured with at least two different models of nose pad modules. The length and angle of the extension wall of the different models of nose pad modules are different. By adjusting the length and angle of the extension wall, the distance between the two pads can be adjusted, so as to adjust the size of the different models of nose pad modules. That is, by adjusting the length and angle of the extension wall, nose pad modules of different sizes (different models) can be formed, thereby meeting the multi-size needs of users during use.

[0032] In the smart glasses of this invention, the frame is equipped with three different nose pad modules: a first nose pad module 4, a second nose pad module 5, and a third nose pad module 6. The angle and size between the two pads in each nose pad module differ. Users can select different nose pad modules according to their wearing habits and flexibly switch between them. It is understood that the structures of different nose pad modules can be completely identical, with only the length and size of the extension arm differing. Therefore, the disassembly and installation feel of different nose pad modules is the same, ensuring consistency in the user experience. For example, when the extension arm is longer and tilted to the sides, the gap between the two pads will be larger, which is suitable for users with larger noses. Conversely, when the extension arm is slightly shorter and tilted inwards, the gap between the two pads will be smaller, which is suitable for users with smaller noses. The following will use nose pad module 5 as an example to describe the smart glasses of this invention in detail. It is clear that the smart glasses are not limited to only three different models.

[0033] Furthermore, after the nose pad hanging wall 51 is positioned within the corresponding fixing groove 21, to prevent the nose pad module from loosening or falling off during use, nose pad side hooks 54 can be provided at the ends of the two nose pad hanging walls 51 respectively. The nose pad side hooks 54 are extension structures extending horizontally or at a certain angle from the ends of the nose pad hanging walls 51. At the same time, a slot 24 corresponding to the position of the nose pad side hook 54 is provided in the fixing groove 21. The depth of the slot 24 can be slightly greater than the depth of the fixing groove 21, so that when the nose pad hanging wall 51 is positioned within the fixing groove 21, the nose pad side hook 54 is inserted into the corresponding slot 24 and is positioned within the slot 24 by the elasticity of the nose pad hanging wall 51 itself, preventing it from falling off. Furthermore, since the extension arm needs to extend from the nose pad mounting wall 51 to facilitate the installation and use of the nose pads, a clearance groove 25 corresponding to the position of the extension wall 55 can be provided in the frame. After the nose pad module is assembled, the extension arm is recessed into the clearance groove 25 on the corresponding side.

[0034] It should be noted that the nose pad module is a one-piece molded structure. That is, the two nose pad hanging walls 51, the arc-shaped connecting arm, the extension arm, and the nose pad fixing groove 52 can adopt a sunken one-piece molded design. The nose pad module is made of at least one of conductive elastic metal materials or elastic conductive composite materials such as titanium alloy, stainless steel, high-strength steel, and liquid metal. Compared with the traditional method of merging the left and right nose pad brackets into one bracket, it can reduce the number of materials and save assembly process. At the same time, the fixing of the nose pads and the fixing between the nose pad bracket and the frame also eliminates screws, further reducing the number of materials, saving material management costs and the labor costs required for assembling materials, and reducing the overall cost of the glasses.

[0035] As can be seen, the present invention is based on a recessed integrated nose pad module design, which enables the nose pad module to achieve the effect of ordinary eyeglass nose pads in terms of both appearance and size, avoiding the problems of screws, buttons and obvious disassembly parts that affect the appearance and size of detachable nose pads; at the same time, the integrated design and simplified structure also improve the reliability of the connection between the nose pad module and the frame, and the cost is also more advantageous.

[0036] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, a circuit board 3 and an elastic connector 31 such as a spring or spring pin connected to the circuit board 3 can also be provided in the frame. An antenna through hole 23 communicating with the elastic connector 31 is provided in the frame. A raised antenna feed point 53 is provided on the arc-shaped connecting part. The antenna feed point 53 and the nose module are also integrally formed. When the nose pad hanging wall 51 is limited in the fixing groove 21, the antenna feed point 53 makes elastic contact with the elastic connector 31 through the antenna through hole 23, thereby connecting the nose pad module to the antenna system of the smart glasses. The antenna system uses the metal part of the nose pad module as an extended antenna to transmit signals. Since the nose pad is made of a non-conductive material, such as silicone, with a Shore hardness of about 20a-90a, it is non-conductive and can be used to isolate the nose pad module from the human body. Therefore, the metal part of the nose pad module will not come into direct contact with the human body, thus avoiding interference with the antenna. Furthermore, the frame material can be at least one of non-conductive materials such as plastic, ceramic or composite materials. Since the frame is also made of non-conductive material, it can isolate the nose pad module from the metal part inside the glasses, thereby achieving reliable transmission of antenna signals and improving signal transmission effect.

[0037] Specifically, the circuit board 3 can be a flexible circuit board 3FPC or a rigid board PCB. To facilitate the installation and positioning of the circuit board 3 and its connection with the nose pad module, two C-shaped positioning slots 22 with opposite positions can be set in the frame. The fixed edges 32 on both sides of the circuit board 3 can be pushed and pulled into the two positioning slots 22 and then fixed by adhesive. When the antenna feed point 53 is inserted into the antenna through hole 23, the antenna feed point 53 can contact the elastic connector 31 of the circuit board 3, thereby connecting the metal part of the nose pad module into the antenna system and realizing the expansion of the antenna function.

[0038] To ensure flexible installation and removal of the nose pad module, its elastic modulus can be controlled within the range of 80Gpa-2000Gpa. Furthermore, due to the integrated nose pad module design, its overall strength and toughness are relatively high, allowing for a smaller module size. Specifically, the wall thickness of the nose pad module (nose pad mounting wall 51) (dimension C in the attached diagram) can be 0.2mm-2.0mm; the width of the extension wall 55 (dimension A in the attached diagram) can be 0.8mm-3.0mm; and the wall thickness of the extension arm (dimension B in the attached diagram) is not less than... The thickness of the nose pad mounting wall 51; after the nose module is assembled into the frame, the nose pad mounting wall and antenna feed point 53 will not be exposed. The exposed part of the nose module is not much different from ordinary glasses, and can even be made thinner. Existing integrated nose pads are either too large to reach the size of ordinary glasses nose pads, or they need obvious detachable marks on the appearance, such as screws (or disassembly buttons), which cannot achieve consistency in size and appearance. This invention not only saves screws and buttons, but also can achieve disassembly and assembly by its own elastic deformation, and the reliability and lifespan are also significantly improved.

[0039] During the installation process of the smart glasses in this embodiment of the invention, a certain external force F is first applied to the nose pad side hook 54, causing the nose pad module to deform along the direction of the force, such as... Figure 5 As shown in direction (1), the deformed nose pad module is then placed in the approximate position of the frame, as shown in the image. Figure 5 As shown in direction (2), align the antenna feed point 53 with the antenna via 23, and insert the antenna feed point 53 into the antenna via 23. After the antenna feed point 53 is fully inserted into the antenna via 23, release the external force F. The elastic support will release its elastic deformation and return to its original shape, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in (3) in the reverse direction, the nose pad hanging wall 51 is inserted into the corresponding fixing groove 21 on the frame; the overall installation sequence is as shown in (1)-(2)-(3), thus completing the installation of the nose pad module; the disassembly process is the reverse of the installation process, and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It is known that after the nose pad module is assembled, the degrees of freedom in the five directions are locked, so the nose pad module can only be disassembled along the direction of (1). However, since the nose pad module itself has a certain elastic modulus and based on the user's wearing posture, the nose pad support will not easily fall off, but will be firmly fixed in the frame. In the application process, the installation and disassembly force values ​​during the disassembly and assembly process can be adjusted by changing the material, thickness, width, etc. of the nose pad module.

[0041] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the smart glasses further include a left temple 8 and a right temple 7; wherein the left temple 8 and the right temple 7 are respectively fixed to both ends of the frame. In addition, the frame further includes a front frame 1 and a rear frame 2 that are adapted to each other; wherein the nose pad module can be disposed in the rear frame 2, the front frame 1, or the frame after the two are combined.

[0042] Corresponding to the aforementioned smart glasses, the present invention also provides a smart wearable device, including the aforementioned smart glasses. It should be noted that embodiments of the smart wearable device can be found in the descriptions of the smart glasses embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] According to the smart glasses and smart wearable device of the present invention, when installing the nose pad module in the smart glasses, the two nose pad hanging walls are elastically deformed by external force and placed between the two fixed grooves of the frame. Then, the external force on the nose pad hanging walls is removed, and they will automatically expand and deform outward under elastic action, so that the nose pad module is partially or completely limited in the fixed groove on the corresponding side, thus completing the installation of the nose pad module. The disassembly process is similar. In addition, in order to meet the wearing needs of different users, the size between the two pads can be adjusted by adjusting the length and angle of the extension wall. Correspondingly, multiple sizes of nose pad modules can be set, and users can flexibly replace them according to their own needs. The nose pad module adopts an integrated structure, which not only makes the components simpler and the operation more convenient, but also can also serve as an antenna. It is low in cost, occupies little space, and is suitable for various types of smart glasses.

[0044] It should also be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0045] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
