Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of 3D glasses, in particular to an active shutter 3D glasses. BACKGROUND

[0002] The power management strategy of the existing active 3D glasses in the non-working state mainly depends on the physical switch or the low-power sleep mode, and both of the two modes have obvious defects. Although the physical switch can completely cut off the power, it is difficult to balance the aesthetics and practicability in the design: if the switch is designed to be eye-catching, it will destroy the overall beauty of the glasses; if it is designed to be hidden, it is easy to cause the user to have a misunderstanding due to the difficulty in finding or forgetting to operate, and cannot achieve the purpose of saving power. While the mode of low-power sleep combined with infrared signal awakening is convenient for user experience, it cannot achieve true zero power consumption. In this mode, in order to be awakened at any time, the infrared receiving circuit must be intermittently powered to detect the signal, which causes the glasses to still consume the battery power when stored for a long time, causing the battery to be quickly consumed, and the user needs to frequently replace the battery, increasing the use cost and maintenance burden. Therefore, the existing technology cannot achieve complete and efficient power management to maximize the battery life while ensuring aesthetics and convenience.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The purpose of this invention is to provide an active shutter 3D glasses system that automatically switches power on and off via a magnetic switch on the temple, achieving true zero-current sleep mode and significantly extending battery life. The concealed magnetic switch design avoids oxidation and poor contact, combining aesthetics with high reliability, and completely solves the problems of misuse and battery drain associated with traditional switches.

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides an active shutter 3D glasses, including: a frame 1, temples 2, liquid crystal lenses 3, a signal receiving window 4, a battery compartment 5, a temple magnetic switch 7, and ear hooks 6. The liquid crystal lenses 3 are disposed inside the frame 1, the temples 2 are disposed on both sides of the frame 1, and the ear hooks 6 are disposed at the ends of the temples 2. The signal receiving window 4 is disposed on the front side of the middle part of the frame 1, the battery compartment 5 is disposed on the back of the signal receiving window 4, and the temple magnetic switch 7 is disposed on the inner side of the right temple 2. A control circuit is disposed inside the frame 1, and the signal receiving window 4, the temple magnetic switch 7, and the liquid crystal lenses 3 are connected to the control circuit.

[0021] The control circuit includes a microcontroller minimum system, an infrared receiving circuit, a liquid crystal driving circuit, and a power supply circuit. The television emits infrared rays through a synchronization signal transmitter. The infrared receiving circuit receives the emitted infrared rays and is connected to the microcontroller minimum system. The microcontroller minimum system is connected to the liquid crystal driving circuit, which is connected to the liquid crystal lens 3. The temple magnetic control switch 7 and the battery compartment 5 are connected to the power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is turned on and off based on the state of the temple magnetic control switch 7.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the minimum system of the microcontroller includes a microcontroller, resistor R11, capacitor C6, capacitor C7, and component CN1. The microcontroller is the main control chip, which can programmably control the operation of various circuit modules. Resistor R11 is a pull-up resistor for the programmer interface, used to maintain the level of MCLR. Capacitors C6 and C7 are connected to the two ends of the power supply of the microcontroller and are used as voltage regulators to maintain power stability. Component CN1, which connects the microcontroller's MCLR, CSPDAT, and CSPCLK, is used as the download interface of the external programmer.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, the infrared receiving circuit includes component U2, infrared receiving sensor IR1, signal amplification circuit, high-pass filter, comparator circuit, resistors R3, R2, and R1, capacitors C4 and C5. The microcontroller outputs a high level through RA5 (labeled "VOP" in the diagram) to power the infrared receiving circuit. Capacitors C1 and C2 act as voltage regulators to maintain power stability. Infrared receiving sensor IR1 receives infrared signals; the stronger the infrared signal, the greater the current flowing through IR1. Resistors R3, R2, and R1 convert the current signal into a voltage signal. D2 acts as a clamping diode to prevent signal loss due to excessively strong infrared signals. The converted signal is input to the operational amplifier inside component U2. The positive input of amplifier B is amplified by a signal amplification circuit, increasing the signal by 5.25 times (R5 / R4+1). The signal amplifier consists of operational amplifier B, resistors R4 and R5. The amplified signal is then filtered out by a high-pass filter, which consists of resistor R6 and capacitor C3. The signal is then input to the negative input of operational amplifier A inside U2, where it is filtered for noise by a comparator circuit. The comparator circuit consists of resistors R7, R8, R9, R10 and capacitor D1, and uses capacitors C4 and C15 as a reference voltage for voltage regulation and filtering. The reference voltage and the noise-filtered signal are then input to the comparator inside the microcontroller for a second comparison.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the infrared transmitter emits two or three 20µs high-level infrared pulses. Two pulses can be designated as the left eye signal and three as the right eye signal, or vice versa. When the microcontroller processes the signal, it turns on the infrared receiving circuit, waits for the infrared signal input, and counts the pulses. If the number of pulses is two or three within the specified time, the internal timer can be calibrated based on the signal, thus switching the specified lens on and off within the specified time. If the number of pulses is incorrect, the signal is discarded. If there are multiple errors or no signal is received for a long time, the microcontroller and LCD driver circuit will enter sleep mode, simultaneously turning off the infrared receiving circuit. Then, the infrared receiving circuit will be turned on every 3 seconds to check for a signal and determine if the system needs to be reawakened.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, all lines with the same name are physically connected together. Component U4 consists of a boost circuit and four H-bridges. The microcontroller RA0 interface, i.e., LCDEN, controls the operation or sleep mode of component U4 by pulling the level high or low. Resistor R17 provides the initial sleep state for component U4 before the microcontroller starts working. The microcontroller RA1 interface, i.e., BOOSTEN, controls the operation or sleep mode of the internal boost circuit of component U4 by pulling the level high or low. Capacitor C9 is the voltage regulator circuit for component U4. The boost circuit consists of an internal PWM controller in component U4 and external capacitors C11, L1, R12, R14, C10, and C8. Capacitor C11 and inductor L1 are boost energy storage components, capacitor C8 is an output voltage regulator, and resistors R12 and R14 are boost feedback components (output voltage = ...). Capacitor C10 is a feedback filter element; The liquid crystal driving voltage is provided by the aforementioned boost circuit. Components U4 (S0 and S1) are connected to the microcontroller's RC3 and RC4 interfaces via wires RS and RC. The microcontroller controls the A and B interfaces of component U4 by controlling the levels of RC3 and R4. Interfaces A and B are connected to the left lens of the glasses via current-limiting resistor R13 and connector U6. When both RC3 and RC4 are at a low level or high, the voltage Vcs between the collector (C) and source (S) of the lens is 0, and the lens is transparent. When RC3 is high and RC4 is low, Vcs equals 9.43V, and the lens becomes black and opaque. When RC3 is low and RC4 is high, Vcs equals -9.43V, and the lens becomes black and opaque. The control logic for the right lens is the same as for the left lens. R15 is configured for H-bridge current limiting; here, the resistor is set to 1MΩ, meaning no current limiting protection is provided.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the power supply circuit includes component U8, component H1, and component H2. Component U8 is the mounting interface for the battery compartment 5. The negative terminal of the battery compartment 5 is connected to the negative terminal of the control circuit through component U8. The positive terminal of the battery compartment 5 is connected to component H1 through component U8. Component H1 is connected to the magnetic control switch 7 on the temple. The magnetic control switch 7 on the temple is connected to component H2. Component H2 is connected to the positive terminal of the control circuit.

[0027] The magnetic switch 7 on the temple includes a magnet 8 and a sensor. Component H1 is connected to the sensor, and the sensor is connected to component H2, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the magnet 8 is disposed at the front end of the temple 2, as... Figure 8 As shown, the temple 2 is in the closed state, as... Figure 9 As shown, when the temple magnetic switch 7 is off, the temple 2 is in the open state, and the temple magnetic switch 7 is automatically connected.

[0028] The battery compartment 5 is a button battery.

[0029] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0030] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
