Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0017] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0018] The smart glasses provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a smart glasses, including: The glasses body 100 is provided with at least one camera 110; A camera cover component 200 is disposed on the glasses body 100 and switches between a first state and a second state; In the first state, the camera cover component 200 covers the camera 110; in the second state, the camera 110 is exposed, and the camera cover component 200 is disposed on the outside of the glasses body or hidden inside the glasses body.
[0020] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a camera cover component on the glasses body that can switch the state of the camera, the camera can be blocked when there is a safety requirement, and the camera can be used normally when needed, thereby improving the safety of using smart glasses and enhancing the user experience.
[0021] It should be noted that for every camera 110 a smart glasses has, there will be a corresponding number of camera cover components 200. In other words, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the camera cover component 200 and the camera 110.
[0022] Optionally, in one implementation, the camera cover component 200 includes: Cover plate 210; A first connector 220 is disposed on the cover plate 210, and the cover plate 210 is connected to the eyeglasses body 100 through the first connector 220.
[0023] Optionally, the first connector 220 in this embodiment can be implemented in one of the following ways: Method 1: The first connector 220 is rotatably connected to the eyeglass body 100.
[0024] Alternatively, in this implementation, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connector 220 includes: Connecting plate 221 connected to the shielding cover 210; The rotating shaft 222 is disposed on the connecting plate 221, and the eyeglass body 100 is provided with a mounting hole 120, and the rotating shaft 222 is disposed in the mounting hole 120; A limiting strip 223 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 222, and a limiting groove 130 is provided on the eyeglass body 100. When the rotating shaft 222 rotates and drives the cover plate 210 to switch between the first state and the second state, the limiting strip 223 slides in the limiting groove 130.
[0025] It should be noted that the setting of the limiting stop 223 and the limiting groove 130 ensures that the camera cover part 200 will not interfere with the lens frame when rotating.
[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting groove 130 in this embodiment is a fan shape, with its two ends corresponding to the first state and the second state of the camera cover component 200, respectively, so that the camera cover component 200 can be limited to the first state or the second state and will not move arbitrarily.
[0027] Optionally, in order to further ensure the stability of the camera cover component 200, a positioning protrusion 140 is provided on the glasses body 100. The positioning protrusion 140 abuts against the connecting plate 221 to fix the camera cover component 200 in the first state or the second state.
[0028] Optionally, in implementation, the camera cover component 200 is made of plastic or other flexible materials, and the cantilever has a certain degree of deformability to achieve quick disassembly and assembly, while also holding the lens frame. It should be noted that... Figure 4 The diagram is merely a structural illustration of the camera cover component 200 and does not constitute a limitation on the structure of the camera cover component 200 in the embodiments of this application.
[0029] It should be noted that by setting the positioning protrusion 140, the starting point of the movement is ensured to be unique and the connection at the starting point is stable, thus preventing the camera covering part 200 from shaking on the glasses body 100.
[0030] Alternatively, in this implementation, the camera cover component 200 needs to be stored separately. For example, smart glasses have a dedicated charging case, and a storage compartment can be designed inside the charging case to accommodate the storage of the camera cover component 200.
[0031] Method 2: The first connector 220 is connected to the glasses body 100 by magnetic attraction or snap-fit.
[0032] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 220 is disposed on the first side of the cover plate 210, which is the side facing the camera 110; When the camera cover component 200 is in the first state, the first connector 220 covers the camera 110 with the cover plate 210.
[0033] Optionally, the first connector 220 is a magnetic or snap-fit component, and a second connector 150 is provided on the glasses body 100. The second connector 150 is disposed around the camera 110, and the first connector 220 and the second connector 150 are connected to cover the camera 110 with the cover plate 210. That is, in this case, the first connector 220 and the second connector 150 respectively include magnetic or snap-fit components. The first connector 220 and the second connector 150 are connected by magnetic attraction or snap-fit.
[0034] It should be noted that when the first connector 220 and the second connector 150 are connected by a magnetic attraction, the magnetic attraction can be embedded inside the first connector 220 and the second connector 150.
[0035] It should be noted that the camera cover component 200 and the glasses body 100 can be securely connected by magnetic attraction or snap-fit, which also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the camera cover component 200.
[0036] Alternatively, the magnetic element can be a magnet.
[0037] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the glasses body 100 is provided with a storage part 160. When the camera cover component 200 is in the second state, the camera cover component 200 is disposed in the storage part 160. The storage section 160 is provided with a third connector, and the first connector 220 is connected to the third connector to cover and fix the cover plate 210 in the storage section 160.
[0038] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, a storage section 160 can be provided at the temple of the eyeglasses. Of course, the storage section 160 can also be provided at the frame.
[0039] It should be noted that, through the above-mentioned storage method, after the camera cover component 200 is disassembled, it can be assembled into the temple or frame. The temple or frame is also equipped with magnetic or snap-fit components, which can facilitate storage while ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the smart glasses.
[0040] Method 3: The first connector 220 is connected to the glasses body 100 by adsorption.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first connector 220 is disposed on the first side of the cover plate 210, which is the side facing the camera 110; When the camera cover component 200 is in the first state, the first connector 220 covers the camera 110 with the cover plate 210.
[0042] Optionally, the first connector is a suction cup, and the first connector 220 is connected to the lens of the camera 110 to cover the camera 110 with the cover plate 210.
[0043] Optionally, the glasses body 100 is provided with a storage part 160, and when the camera cover component 200 is in the second state, the camera cover component 200 is disposed in the storage part 160.
[0044] It should be noted that the storage unit can be set up in a similar way to the storage unit in implementation method two, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0045] It should be noted that, using the storage method described above, after the camera cover component 200 is disassembled, it can be assembled into the temple or frame by magnetic attraction, thus ensuring both convenient storage and the aesthetic appearance of the smart glasses.
[0046] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By incorporating a removable camera cover, the smart glasses can maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance when not in use. By implementing method one, the lens can be blocked without removing the camera cover component, and quick switching can be achieved through simple operation; By implementing methods two and three, the camera cover component can quickly cover the lens when needed and can be quickly switched through simple operation.
[0047] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application can be applied to products with cameras, such as AR / Virtual Reality (VR) and smart speakers.
