[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps may also be decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0034] It should be understood that the terms used in this application specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the application. As used in this application specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0035] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0036] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the temples of smart glasses are mostly made of plastic. Therefore, the temples of smart glasses are all hard and cannot be bent, which results in the temples being unable to adapt to the wearer's head shape and unable to form a wrapping effect on the wearer's head shape, resulting in poor wearing stability and comfort.

[0038] In view of the above defects of the prior art, the present application proposes a pair of smart glasses. The temple body of the smart glasses is flexible, so that the temple can be bent on a curved surface, and the temple can be deformed according to the size and shape of the wearer's head, so that the smart glasses can adapt to different wearers' head shapes and can wrap the wearer's head shape. At the same time, the thickness and width of the temple body are reduced, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the smart glasses, thereby improving the wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0039] Exemplarily, the smart glasses may be AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, or any other electronic device that can be used for AR imaging, such as smart wearable devices such as smart helmets, without specific limitation herein.

[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a pair of smart glasses provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of another type of smart glasses provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the smart glasses 100 include a display module 10, a frame module 20 and a battery module 30. The display module 10 may include an optomechanical component 12 and a waveguide component 11, wherein the waveguide component 11 is used to receive the display light emitted by the optomechanical component 12 and form an output light. Specifically, the waveguide component 11 is provided with a waveguide substrate, a coupling-in grating region and a coupling-out grating region, and the optomechanical component 12 is connected to the frame component 21 and is arranged corresponding to the coupling-in grating region. Among them, the coupling-in grating region and the coupling-out grating region may be arranged in the waveguide substrate, the coupling-in grating region is used to couple light into the waveguide substrate, and the coupling-out grating region is used to couple out the light propagating in the waveguide substrate. The light emitted by the optomechanical component 12 will be incident on the coupling-in grating region, and the light diffracted by the coupling-in grating region can form a total reflection in the waveguide substrate, thereby being transversely conducted in the waveguide component 11 until it is diffracted again after the coupling-out grating region and reaches the human eye for imaging.

[0042] Exemplarily, the coupling-in grating region and the coupling-out grating region may also be arranged on different surfaces of the waveguide substrate, such as the coupling-in grating region is arranged on the first surface of the waveguide substrate, and the coupling-out grating region is arranged on the second surface of the waveguide substrate, or the coupling-out grating region is arranged on the first surface of the waveguide substrate, and the coupling-in grating region is arranged on the second surface of the waveguide substrate. As long as the coupling-in grating region can be used to couple light into the waveguide substrate, and the coupling-out grating region can be used to couple out light propagating in the waveguide substrate, it will be sufficient.

[0043] The frame module 20 includes a frame assembly 21 and a temple assembly 22 connected to the frame assembly 21. The frame assembly 21 is connected to the waveguide assembly 11. The optical-mechanical assembly 12 and the waveguide assembly 11 are both mounted on the frame assembly 21. The temple assembly 22 includes a temple 222 and a flexible connector 220 disposed in the temple 222. The temple 222 includes an ear hook 226, a temple body 227 and a frame connection portion 228. The frame connection portion 228 is used to connect to the frame assembly 21. The temple body 227 is used to connect the frame connection portion 228 to the ear hook 226. The battery module 30 is disposed in the ear hook 226. The battery module 30 is electrically connected to the optical-mechanical assembly 12 through a flexible connector.

[0044] The flexible connector may be a flexible circuit connector, such as a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a bendable electrical component such as a flexible wire, etc. The flexible connector is used to electrically connect the battery module 30 to the optical-mechanical assembly 12, so that the battery module 30 disposed at the end of the temple can supply power to the optical-mechanical assembly 12 through the flexible connector in the temple.

[0045] Specifically, the battery module 30 can be arranged in the ear hook portion 226 of the temple 222, and the battery module 30 does not need to be arranged inside the temple 222, but is installed on the ear hook portion 226 by dispensing, so the installation of the battery module 30 does not affect the flexibility of the temple 222, and the temple 222 can still be deformed according to the head size and shape of the wearer. At the same time, the battery module 30 is connected to the flexible connector 220, and is electrically connected to the optical-mechanical assembly 12 through the flexible connector 220, so as to provide power to the optical-mechanical assembly 12 and other components. In this way, the ear hook design of the battery module 30 of the smart glasses 100 can be used to further increase the wearing stability of the smart glasses 100, and the glasses can be fixed by matching the ear shape of the wearer, thereby increasing the wearing stability of the smart glasses 100.

[0046] By arranging the battery module 30 in the ear hook portion 226, the wearing discomfort caused by the downward pressure of the nose pad on the nose bridge is reduced. At the same time, the ear hook design with the battery pack placed behind can increase the friction between the silicone on the temple 222 and the ear contact surface. In addition, due to the wrapping effect of the flexible temple on the head, the contact area and friction between the battery module 30 and the head can also be increased, thereby further increasing the wearing stability of the glasses.

[0047] In the related art, smart glasses generally need to open a receiving cavity in the temple to install electronic components such as electronic components. In order to avoid damaging the electronic components, the electronic components generally cannot be bent, so the temples of smart glasses in the related art are all hard temples that cannot be bent.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the temple body 227 is flexible, and the thickness d of the temple body 227 is less than or equal to 5 mm, and the width w of the temple body 227 is less than or equal to 10 mm, so that the temple can be deformed according to the head size and shape of the wearer. Since the smart glasses provided by the present application do not need to install electronic components such as electronic components inside the temple body 227, it is only necessary to set a flexible connector 220 inside the temple body 227 to achieve electrical connection between the battery module 30 and the optical machine assembly 12. The flexible connector 220 is generally a flexible printed circuit board, which has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, and good bendability. Therefore, the thickness d and width w of the temple body 227 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the smart glasses, thereby improving the wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, components such as the optical-mechanical component 12 and the waveguide component 11 are arranged on the frame component 21, and the battery module 30 is arranged at the end of the temple to avoid placing electronic components in the temple, and the temple is made flexible by the flexible connector arranged in the temple, so that the temple can be bent on a curved surface, and the temple can be deformed according to the size and shape of the wearer's head, so that the smart glasses 100 can adapt to the head shapes of different wearers, and can form a wrapping effect on the wearer's head shape, thereby improving the wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0050] In some embodiments, the thickness d of the temple body 227 is less than or equal to 2 mm, and the width w of the temple body 227 is less than or equal to 5 mm. Therefore, the thickness d and the width w of the temple body 227 can be further reduced according to actual conditions, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the smart glasses 100, thereby improving wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0051] Specifically, the thickness d of the temple body can be 2 mm, and the width w of the temple body can be less than or equal to 5 mm. Thus, the thickness d and the width w of the temple body 227 are smaller, so as to achieve a smaller size, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the smart glasses 100, making the smart glasses 100 more lightweight and beautiful, thereby improving wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flexible connector may include a flexible printed circuit board, thereby achieving electrical connection between the battery module 30 and the optomechanical assembly 12 through a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board.

[0053] Among them, the flexible printed circuit board is a highly reliable and excellently flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film as the base material. It has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness and good bendability.

[0054] Since the flexible printed circuit board has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, and good bendability, it can be used as an electrical connection medium between the battery module 30 and the optical machine component 12. At the same time, the flexible printed circuit board is also arranged in the temple. As long as the temple is also made of flexible material, the temple assembly 22 can be made flexible, so that the temple can be deformed according to the wearer's head size and shape.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving groove 221 is formed in the temple 222, and the flexible printed circuit board is received in the receiving groove 221 and closely fits with the receiving groove 221. Therefore, the receiving groove 221 can be formed by injection molding in the temple 222, and the flexible printed circuit board is received in the receiving groove 221, and the flexible printed circuit board and the temple 222 are embedded together by plastic, so that the temple 222 obtained by injection molding has high reliability and is easy to mass produce.

[0056] Exemplarily, the temple 222 and the flexible printed circuit board can be sealed and bonded with soft skin-friendly materials such as silicone and rubber by in-mold injection molding, so that the injection-molded temple 222 has the effects of being waterproof, dustproof, sweat-proof, and easy to bend.

[0057] Exemplarily, the flexible printed circuit board and the titanium alloy temple 222 can also be formed in the form of an FPC reinforcement plate, and the flexible printed circuit board, the temple 222 and the FPC reinforcement plate are integrally formed by methods such as dispensing or hot pressing.

[0058] In some embodiments, the flexible printed circuit board installed in the temple 222 can be sealed and molded by in-mold injection molding to form the temple assembly 22. Thus, the flexible printed circuit board and the temple 222 can be embedded together by in-mold injection molding, so that the temple 222 obtained by injection molding has high reliability and is easy to mass produce.

[0059] Specifically, the temple 222 and the flexible printed circuit board are sealed and bonded with soft skin-friendly materials such as silicone and rubber by in-mold injection molding, so that the temple 222 obtained by injection molding has the effects of being waterproof, dustproof, sweat-proof, and easy to bend and process. After the temple 222 and the flexible printed circuit board are integrally formed, the temple 222 can still be bent and adjusted in width and curvature according to the face of the person, thereby greatly increasing the wearing comfort. At the same time, the silicone integrally formed by in-mold injection molding is not easy to fall off, thereby ensuring a comfortable touch of the contact surface between the temple 222 and the face of the person.

[0060] Exemplarily, the metal temple 222 and the flexible printed circuit board can be used as inserts to be installed in the mold, and the injection molding parameters, such as temperature, pressure, time and other parameters, can be set. Then add soft skin-friendly materials such as silicone and rubber to the injection molding material. Start the injection molding machine, and inject the molten soft skin-friendly material into the mold for in-mold injection molding. After the injection molding is completed, the injected silicone is now connected to the temple 222 as a whole, and the flexible printed circuit board is sandwiched between the silicone and the temple 222, and the mold and the injection molded part are cooled to room temperature, and the injection molded part is taken out of the mold. At this time, the injection molded part taken out of the mold is the temple assembly 22.

[0061] In some embodiments, the temple 222, the flexible printed circuit board and the reinforcing plate can be pressed together by dispensing or hot pressing to form the temple assembly 22. Thus, the flexible printed circuit board and the temple 222 can be embedded together by means of the FPC reinforcing plate, so that the metal texture of the temple 222 can be highlighted, and the reliability of the temple 222 obtained by injection molding is higher.

[0062] Specifically, the flexible printed circuit board and the titanium alloy temple 222 can also be formed in the form of an FPC reinforcement plate, and the temple 222, the flexible printed circuit board and the reinforcement plate are pressed together by dispensing or hot pressing to form the temple assembly 22. The integrally formed temple assembly 22 will be presented in the form of the titanium alloy facing outward (i.e., the side away from the wearer's head) and the flexible printed circuit board facing inward (i.e., the side close to the wearer's head). In this way, the metallic texture of the titanium alloy temple 222 can be highlighted, and the inner flexible printed circuit board can be brushed with glue on the surface to make the temple 222 waterproof, sweat-proof, dust-proof, skin-friendly and other effects. This FPC reinforcement plate bonding method can further compress the space of the temple 222, while also ensuring that the temple 222 can be flexibly adjusted to bend and shape.

[0063] It should be noted that the surface glue can be made of soft skin-friendly materials such as silicone and rubber. The temple 222, the flexible printed circuit board and the soft skin-friendly materials such as silicone and rubber can also be sealed and bonded by in-mold injection molding, so that the temple 222 obtained by injection molding has the effects of being waterproof, dustproof, sweat-proof, easy to bend and process, etc. It is also possible to install a silicone sleeve or a rubber sleeve on the side of the temple 222 close to the wearer's head for assembly, so that the temple 222 equipped with the silicone sleeve or the rubber sleeve can also have the effects of being waterproof, dustproof, sweat-proof, easy to bend and process, etc.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the temple assembly 22 further includes a flexible member 223, the flexible member 223 includes a first connection portion 224, the temple 222 includes a second connection portion 225, and the flexible member 223 is engaged with the temple 222 through the first connection portion 224 and the second connection portion 225 to seal the flexible connector 220. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the flexible member 223, and avoids the problem of yellowing of the flexible member 223 due to long-term wearing of the smart glasses 100.

[0065] The flexible member 223 may be a component made of a flexible, skin-friendly material such as a molded silicone strip or a rubber strip.

[0066] Specifically, the flexible member 223 includes a first connection portion 224, and the temple 222 includes a second connection portion 225. The first connection portion 224 can cooperate with the second connection portion 225 to achieve the clamping of the flexible member 223 on the temple 222. At the same time, the flexible connector 220 can be attached to the side of the temple 222 including the second connection portion 225, so that when the first connection portion 224 and the second connection portion 225 cooperate with each other, the flexible connector 220 can be clamped between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222, so that the flexible connector 220 is sealed to form the temple assembly 22.

[0067] Exemplarily, the flexible connector 220 can be pre-attached to one side of the temple 222 including the second connecting portion 225 by means of glue or dispensing, so that when the first connecting portion 224 and the second connecting portion 225 cooperate with each other, the flexible connector 220 can be clamped between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222.

[0068] It should be noted that the flexible member 223 may include a plurality of first connection portions 224, and the temple 222 may include a plurality of second connection portions 225. Each first connection portion 224 corresponds to a second connection portion 225, so that each first connection portion 224 and its corresponding second connection portion 225 cooperate with each other, thereby improving the cooperation stability, being able to clamp the flexible connector 220 between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222, and improving the fit between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first connection portion 224 includes a groove portion, and the second connection portion 225 includes a protrusion portion, which is formed on the surface of the temple 222 by in-mold injection molding. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the flexible member 223, avoids the problem of yellowing of the flexible member 223 due to long-term wearing of the smart glasses 100, and provides users with the functionality of disassembling and customizing the flexible member 223.

[0070] The protrusion may be a plastic protrusion, which may be formed by injection molding or the like.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the first connection part 224 may include a groove part, and the second connection part 225 may include a protrusion part. When the first connection part 224 and the second connection part 225 cooperate with each other, the protrusion part will be inserted into the corresponding groove part so that the protrusion part and the corresponding groove part are snap-fitted. After the protrusion part and the corresponding groove part are snap-fitted, the flexible connection member 220 can be clamped between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222, so that the flexible connection member 220 is sealed to form the temple assembly 22.

[0072] For example, a convex portion can be generated on the plane of the temple 222 close to the wearer by in-mold injection molding; then a corresponding groove portion can be made on the flexible member 223 to cooperate with the convex portion, so as to achieve a mechanical buckle structure to connect the temple 222, the flexible connector 220 and the flexible member 223. This can facilitate the removal and replacement of the flexible member 223, avoid the problem of yellowing of the flexible member 223 due to long-term wearing of the smart glasses 100, and provide users with the functionality of removing and customizing the flexible member 223.

[0073] For example, since the material of the flexible member 223 is a flexible material, when the user needs to replace the flexible member 223, the user can remove the flexible member 223 by external force, thereby achieving the replacement of the flexible member 223, thereby improving the wearing experience of the user.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second connection portion 225 includes a groove portion, and the first connection portion 224 includes a protrusion portion, which is formed on the surface of the flexible member 223 by in-mold injection molding. In this way, another snap-fit ​​structure can be provided, and at the same time, the effect of facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the flexible member 223 can be achieved, thereby avoiding the problem of yellowing of the flexible member 223 due to long-term wearing of the smart glasses 100, and providing the user with the functionality of disassembling and customizing the flexible member 223.

[0075] Specifically, the first connection portion 224 may include a protrusion, and the second connection portion 225 may include a groove. When the first connection portion 224 and the second connection portion 225 cooperate with each other, the protrusion will be inserted into the corresponding groove so that the protrusion and the corresponding groove are snap-fitted. After the protrusion and the corresponding groove are snap-fitted, the flexible connection member 220 can also be clamped between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222, so that the flexible connection member 220 is sealed to form the temple assembly 22.

[0076] For example, a convex portion can be formed on the flexible member 223 by in-mold injection molding; then a corresponding groove portion is made on the plane of the temple 222 close to the wearer to cooperate with the convex portion, so as to achieve a mechanical buckle structure to connect the temple 222, the flexible connector 220 and the flexible member 223. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the flexible member 223, avoids the problem of yellowing of the flexible member 223 due to long-term wearing of the smart glasses 100, and can also provide users with the functionality of disassembling and customizing the flexible member 223.

[0077] It should be noted that if the flexible member 223 includes a plurality of first connection portions 224, and the temple 222 includes a plurality of second connection portions 225, each groove portion corresponds to a protrusion portion, so that each groove portion and its corresponding protrusion portion can be snap-fitted, thereby improving the matching stability, being able to clamp the flexible connection member 220 between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222, and improving the fit between the flexible member 223 and the temple 222.

[0078] In some embodiments, the material of the temple 222 includes flexible metal or flexible sheet material, so that the temple 222 itself can be flexible, thereby achieving curved bending.

[0079] Among them, the flexible metal may include memory metal, etc., which can undergo plastic deformation within a certain temperature range and can also restore its original macroscopic shape within another temperature range. The memory metal may include copper-based memory alloys, nickel-titanium alloys, iron-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, and titanium-based alloys. The flexible sheet material may include a metal sheet or a soft plastic sheet, as long as it is a sheet material that can achieve flexible bending.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the temple 222 is further used to bend a preset arc in the first direction, so that the end of the temple 222 away from the frame assembly 21 forms an ear hanging portion 226, and the ear hanging portion 226 is used to match the ear shape of the wearer to achieve the glasses wearing and fixing. Therefore, the ear hanging design of the smart glasses 100 can increase the overall wearing stability, match the ear shape of the wearer to achieve the glasses wearing and fixing, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the wearing stability of the smart glasses 100.

[0081] The first direction is a direction perpendicular to the temple 222, that is, the direction in which the wearer stands. The preset curvature can be determined according to the ear shape of the wearer, and can be any curvature, which is not specifically limited here.

[0082] Specifically, since the wearer's ears are generally located at the end of the temple 222, the bending starting point of the ear hook 226 can be set at the end of the temple 222 according to the wearer's ear shape and ear position, and the temple 222 can be bent according to a preset arc.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the ear hook portion 226 conforming to the ear shape of the wearer can be provided at the end of the temple 222. The glasses can be worn and fixed in accordance with the ear shape of the wearer, thereby increasing the wearing stability of the smart glasses 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, the angle corresponding to the preset arc is determined according to the ear shape and ear position of the wearer. Thus, the angle corresponding to the preset arc can be determined according to the ear shape and ear position of the wearer, so that the ear hook 226 can better fit the ear and head of the wearer, thereby improving the wearing stability and wearing comfort.

[0085] The angle corresponding to the preset arc can be any angle, such as 150°, and is not specifically limited here.

[0086] like Figure 8 As shown, for example, the temple 222 is further used to bend a preset curvature in the first direction so that the end of the temple 222 away from the frame assembly 21 forms an ear hook portion 226, and the preset curvature corresponds to an angle of 150°, which can be determined according to the ear shape and ear position of the wearer.

[0087] In some embodiments, the angle corresponding to the preset curvature is greater than or equal to 150° and less than or equal to 180°. Since the adjustable temples 222 are used to wrap the side of the head, the bending amplitude of the ear hooks 226 can be reduced, that is, the angle corresponding to the preset curvature is increased to avoid affecting the wearing of the smart glasses 100, and at the same time, the smart glasses 100 can be adapted to the head shapes and ear positions of more wearers.

[0088] As shown in FIG9(a), in order to improve the wearing stability of the smart glasses 100, it is generally necessary to make the bending amplitude of the ear hook 226, that is, the angle corresponding to the preset arc, smaller, because in this way the ear hook 226 can better match the wearer's ear to achieve wearing stability. However, if the angle corresponding to the preset arc is smaller, for example, the angle corresponding to the preset arc is in the range of 90° to 140°, the bending amplitude of the ear hook 226 is larger, and the ear hook 226 of the smart glasses 100 is lifted to a large height, which will affect the wearing of the smart glasses 100 and even cause the wearer to experience dizziness.

[0089] As shown in FIG9(b), the embodiment of the present application can use the adjustable temple 222 to wrap the side of the head, and the bending amplitude of the ear hook 226 does not need to be too large to achieve stable wearing. In this way, the bending amplitude of the ear hook 226 can be reduced, that is, the angle corresponding to the preset arc is increased. For example, the angle corresponding to the preset arc can be in the range of 150° to 180°. At this time, the bending amplitude of the ear hook 226 is small, and the ear hook 226 of the smart glasses 100 is lifted to a small height, which basically does not affect the wearing of the smart glasses 100. At the same time, the smart glasses 100 can be adapted to the head shape and ear position of more wearers.

[0090] In some embodiments, the smart glasses 100 include a main control module, which is electrically connected to the battery module 30, and the main control module is used to control the light emission of the optical machine component 12. Thus, the battery module 30 can be used to power the main control module, thereby controlling the light emission of the optical machine component 12.

[0091] Among them, the main control module can be a PCBA board, which refers to a product that solders integrated circuits, mounted components and other electronic components on a PCB board to realize circuit functions.

[0092] Exemplarily, the main control module can be set at the tail of the temple 222 by means of gluing or the like, or can be set in the frame assembly 21 , and the position of the main control module is not specifically limited herein.

[0093] In some embodiments, the main control module is arranged at one end of the temple 222 away from the frame assembly 21, and the main control module is connected to the optical machine assembly 12 through the flexible connector 220. Thus, the main control module can also be arranged at the tail end of the temple 222, thereby further reducing the volume and weight of the front end of the glasses, so that the front and rear ends of the temple 222 are balanced, thereby balancing the center of gravity of the smart glasses 100, reducing the discomfort caused by reducing the downward pressure of the nose pad on the nose bridge, and improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0094] Specifically, the main control module can also be arranged at one end of the temple 222 away from the frame assembly 21 by means of glue dispensing, and the main control module can be connected to the optical-mechanical assembly 12 through the flexible connector 220, so as to control the optical-mechanical assembly 12 to emit light. If the main control module and the battery module 30 are not arranged as one body, the main control module can also be electrically connected to the battery module 30 through the flexible connector 220, so that the battery module 30 supplies power to the main control module.

[0095] In some embodiments, the battery module 30 and the main control module are relatively fixed or integrated, thereby further reducing the overall volume of the smart glasses 100.

[0096] If the main control module and the battery module 30 are not integrated, a shell for accommodating the main control module and a shell for accommodating the battery module 30 need to be respectively provided at the end of the temple 222 away from the frame assembly 21 , which will cause the overall volume of the smart glasses 100 to be larger.

[0097] Specifically, the main control module can be arranged in the battery module 30, so that the battery module 30 and the main control module are relatively fixed or integrated. In this case, the main control module does not need to be electrically connected to the battery module 30 through the flexible connector 220, and the battery module 30 can be directly connected to the main control module and supply power to the main control module.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery module 30 and the main control module are relatively fixed or integrated, thereby further reducing the overall volume of the smart glasses 100 and realizing a lightweight design of the smart glasses 100.

[0099] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame assembly 21 includes a lens mounting member 210 and a temple connector 211 connected to the temple assembly 22 and the lens mounting member 210; wherein the waveguide assembly 11 is connected to a side of the lens mounting member 210 away from the temple connector 211. Thus, the temple assembly 22 and the waveguide assembly 11 can be connected through the lens mounting member 210 and the temple connector 211, and the installation of the smart glasses 100 can be completed without providing the mounting accessories of the frame and the pile head, so that multiple components in the smart glasses 100 are formed in one piece.

[0100] The lens mounting member 210 may include a corresponding lens mounting frame, and the waveguide assembly 11 may be mounted in the lens mounting frame. The temple connector 211 may be used to connect the lens mounting member 210 and the temple assembly 22 .

[0101] Specifically, the lens mounting member 210 and the temple connector 211 in the frame assembly 21 can cooperate with each other, and the connection between the temple assembly 22 and the waveguide assembly 11 can be completed without setting mounting accessories for the frame and the stud, so that multiple components in the smart glasses 100 are formed in one piece.

[0102] Exemplarily, the housings of components such as the lens mounting member 210, the temple connector 211, and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 are formed by integral die-casting metal, so that multiple components in the smart glasses 100 are integrally formed. Compared with traditional glasses that require the installation of frames and studs for glasses installation, the embodiment of the present application saves the installation of frames and studs, and the frame assembly 21 can also include components such as the optical-mechanical assembly 12 in the smart glasses 100. Thus, the integrally formed frame assembly 21 achieves the effects of no screws, high precision, ultra-light weight, low cost, and good mass production.

[0103] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lens mounting member 210 is formed with an optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212 on one side close to the temple assembly 22, and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 is accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212. Thus, the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212, and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 is prevented from being exposed and damaged.

[0104] Specifically, the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212 can be placed outside the front end of the temple 222, so that the optical-mechanical assembly 12 accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212 is also arranged outside the front end of the temple 222. Such a design can prevent components such as the optical-mechanical assembly 12 from being arranged in front of the wearer's field of vision, thereby blocking the normal field of vision of the smart glasses 100, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0105] In some embodiments, the linear distance between the optical-mechanical assembly 12 and the wearer's head is greater than 20 mm, thereby preventing the optical-mechanical assembly 12 from being too close to the wearer's head, causing discomfort to the wearer.

[0106] The straight-line distance between the optical-mechanical component 12 and the wearer's head can be any distance. Generally, if the straight-line distance between the optical-mechanical component 12 and the wearer's head is greater than 20 mm, the wearer's wearing discomfort can be effectively reduced.

[0107] Specifically, the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212 can be set at a position with a straight-line distance from the wearer's head greater than 20 mm, and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212, so that the optical-mechanical assembly 12 is away from the skin around the eyes and more than 20 mm away from the wearer's temple, without causing discomfort to the wearer.

[0108] In some embodiments, the main control module is accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212, the main control module is connected to the optical-mechanical assembly 12, and the main control module is electrically connected to the battery module 30 via the flexible connector 220. Thus, the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the frame assembly 21.

[0109] Specifically, the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be connected to the battery module 30 through the flexible connector 220, so that the battery module 30 supplies power to the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12, and the main control module controls the optical-mechanical assembly 12 to emit light. Since the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 are both accommodated in the optical-mechanical accommodating cavity 212, the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 do not need to be connected through the flexible connector 220, and the connection between the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be achieved by wired or wireless means, thereby effectively saving the volume and weight of the frame assembly 21.

[0110] In some embodiments, the main control module and the optical-mechanical assembly 12 are relatively fixed or integrally arranged, thereby effectively reducing the volume and weight of the lens frame assembly 21.

[0111] In order to reduce the volume and weight of the optical-mechanical component 12 and the peripheral hardware circuits, the optical-mechanical component 12 of the embodiment of the present application can adopt the display technology of the MicroLED optical-mechanical component. Compared with DLP, LCOS and LBS technologies, the MicroLED optical-mechanical component adopts a self-luminous light source display chip, which does not require an illumination light source (DLP, LCOS, LBS and other technologies are reflective luminescence and require an illumination light source), which can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the optical-mechanical component 12. At the same time, the driving circuit of the MicroLED solution is also designed as an integrated circuit, so that the driving circuit of the optical-mechanical component 12 is more concise and lightweight.

[0112] The embodiment of the present application adopts a design of stacking the optical-mechanical assembly 12 and the main control module front and back, which can make the front end of the overall frame assembly 21 slender and long, so that the line of sight is much less blocked. Through the laminated structure design of the soft and hard boards, various electronic devices can be arranged with maximum efficiency, and the devices that interact with the outside world can be arranged at the bottom of the main control module without being affected by the volume of the optical-mechanical assembly 12.

[0113] Specifically, if the FPC connector and peripheral hardware circuit components are not included, the volume of the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be less than 0.3 cm 3 This can achieve miniaturization of the optomechanical assembly 12, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the optomechanical assembly 12.

[0114] For example, if the FPC connector and peripheral hardware circuit components are not included, the volume of the optical-mechanical assembly 12 can be 0.1 cm 3 , no specific limitation is given here.

[0115] The above are only specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
