[0026] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the mask bracket of the utility model is applied to a head-mounted display device, including:

[0027] A base 10, wherein a viewing window is provided on the base 10;

[0028] A forehead support 20 is provided on a side close to the user's face, and a side of the forehead support 20 away from the base 10 forms a fitting surface for fitting with the user's forehead;

[0029] And a connecting frame 30 is arranged between the base 10 and the forehead rest 20 and is used for supporting the forehead rest 20 .

[0030] When in use, a covering is wrapped around the mask bracket for shading; when installing, the base 10 is installed on the host of the head-mounted display device, usually by means of magnet adsorption, snap-on connection, etc.; when worn, the fitting surface of the forehead rest 20 fits against the user's forehead to form a fitting structure, which can minimize the size of the fitting structure, and the forehead rest 20 is connected to the base 10 through a connecting frame 30, so that the structure of the mask bracket is simpler and lighter, which can effectively reduce the weight of the mask. The mask bracket of the utility model solves the problem of heavy weight of existing masks and can improve the user experience.

[0031] In the present invention, the forehead rest 20 is configured as an arc-shaped fitting plate, and the arc top of the arc-shaped fitting plate protrudes toward the side close to the base 10, so that the forehead rest 20 can adapt to the shape of the user's forehead, which can further improve the user experience.

[0032] Specifically, the forehead support 20 is an elastic plate made of elastic plastic, which can produce adaptive deformation when squeezed and can adapt to different users. Of course, the forehead support 20 can also be made of hard plastic.

[0033] In the utility model, the connecting frame 30 is an elastic connecting structure. When worn, the main unit is located on the front side of the user's face, and the forehead support 20 fits against the user's forehead. The elastic connecting structure will be squeezed by the main unit and the forehead support 20 to produce elastic deformation. On the one hand, the forehead support 20 can fit the user's forehead more closely. On the other hand, the elastic connecting structure can be squeezed to different degrees by adjusting the tightness of wearing. The shrinkage of the elastic connecting structure changes accordingly, and the distance between the user's eyes and the main unit can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the viewing distance to meet the needs of different users.

[0034] Specifically, the elastic connection structure includes a first elastic plate and a second elastic plate respectively connected between the forehead rest 20 and the base 10. The first elastic plate and the second elastic plate respectively form a support, which can make the support of the connecting frame 30 more stable. At the same time, it can make the structure of the connecting frame 30 simpler, and can further make the mask bracket lighter.

[0035] Usually, an arc-shaped curved portion is provided on the first elastic plate and the second elastic plate respectively, and the arc top of the arc-shaped curved portion of the first elastic plate is arranged adjacent to the arc top of the arc-shaped curved portion of the second elastic plate, so that the elastic connection structure can generate elastic deformation between the forehead support 20 and the base 10, and the supporting performance of the elastic connection structure can be enhanced. Of course, the arc top of the arc-shaped curved portion of the first elastic plate and the arc top of the arc-shaped curved portion of the second elastic plate can also be arranged far apart.

[0036] In some other embodiments, the connecting frame 30 can also be configured as an arc-shaped connecting plate, the arc top of which is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the two ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the forehead support 20. Of course, the connecting frame 30 can also be directly configured as a spring, an elastic block, etc.

[0037] In the present invention, the base 10 is configured as a mounting panel, and the viewing window comprises a left window 11 and a right window 12 which are spaced apart on the mounting panel, and a notch 13 is provided in the middle of the lower side of the mounting panel.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting panel is configured to be in an arc shape, so as to be compatible with the side of the host computer close to the user's face.

[0039] In some other embodiments, the base 10 is configured as an annular plate, and the area surrounded by the annular plate forms a window. Usually, the annular plate is also configured as an arc surface, which is convenient for adapting to the side of the host close to the user's face.

[0040] In the present invention, base magnetic parts are arranged at intervals on the base 10, and corresponding host magnetic parts are arranged on the host. The base 10 can be installed on the host of the head-mounted display device through the magnetic attraction between the base magnetic parts and the host magnetic parts.

[0041] In some other embodiments, buckles may be provided at intervals on the base 10, and correspondingly, a card slot may be provided on the host, so that the base 10 can be installed on the host of the head-mounted display device by snapping.

[0042] Depend on Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be known that the mask of the present invention includes a mask bracket and a covering part 40 mounted on the mask bracket, the covering part 40 includes a contact portion 41 that fits against the user's face, and a supporting portion 42 connected to the contact portion 41 on a side away from the user's face, the base 10 is fixedly connected to the supporting portion 42, and the forehead rest 20 fits against the contact portion 41 on a side away from the user's face.

[0043] Specifically, the covering member 40 is sleeved on the outside of the mask bracket for shading; when worn, the contact surface 41 of the covering member 40 is in contact with the user's face, and the support portion 42 is used to support the contact surface 41 and make the contact surface 41 closely contact the user's face. Usually, the support portion 42 and the base 10 are fixedly connected by bonding, magnetic attraction, etc.

[0044] In the utility model, Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the facing portion 41 is configured as a ring structure, and the supporting portion 42 is configured as a cylindrical structure.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the fitting portion 41 includes an upper fitting portion 411 arranged corresponding to the forehead of the user, a left fitting portion 412 connected to the left end portion of the upper fitting portion 411 and arranged corresponding to the left cheek of the user, a right fitting portion 413 connected to the right end portion of the upper fitting portion 411 and arranged corresponding to the right cheek of the user, and a lower fitting portion 414 connected between the lower end portion of the left fitting portion 412 and the lower end portion of the right fitting portion 413, the middle portion of the lower fitting portion 414 is bent toward the upper fitting portion 411 to form a nose avoiding portion 43, and the left fitting portion 412, the upper fitting portion 411, the right fitting portion 413 and the lower fitting portion 414 are sequentially connected to form a ring structure.

[0046] Specifically, at least the portion of the veneer surface 41 corresponding to the forehead rest 20 is set as a veneer hard portion, and at least the portion of the veneer surface 41 corresponding to the cheek of the user is set as a veneer soft portion; the support portion 42 is at least partially set as a support hard portion. Usually, the positions corresponding to the support portion 42 and the soft veneer portions on both sides are respectively set as support hard portions, which can enhance the support performance of the support portion 42.

[0047] Typically, the covering member 40 is an elastic soft rubber sleeve, which is a soft and hard rubber combination structure, and is integrally formed by secondary injection molding. Of course, a hard sheet can also be attached to the inner side of the covering member 40 or a hard sheet can be directly embedded inside the covering member 40 to form a veneer hard part or a supporting hard part.

[0048] In some other embodiments, the covering member 40 may also be fabric, which is made into a contoured structure, and the contoured structure is maintained in shape by providing a lining or a filler. Of course, an auxiliary support structure may also be provided separately to maintain the shape of the fabric.

[0049] In order to facilitate the fitting of the contact surface 41 to the user's face, a soft supporting structure is provided in the area outside the forehead rest 20 of the contact surface 41. The soft supporting structure is foam, thermoplastic plastic or some low-density filler, which facilitates the contact surface 41 to maintain its shape without affecting the softness of the contact surface 41. The contact surface 41 can fit the user's face more closely, which can not only avoid light leakage but also improve wearing comfort.

[0050] Since the user's forehead, cheeks and temples are supporting parts, a forehead rest 20 is provided at the position corresponding to the user's forehead, and an elastic supporting structure is provided at the cover 40 at key supporting points such as the user's cheeks and temples, and both ends of each elastic supporting structure are respectively connected to the base 10 and the cover 40.

[0051] At present, many users have myopia problems. In order to adapt to myopic users, a left seam 44 and a right seam 45 are respectively provided on the left fitting part 412 and the right fitting part 413. When worn, the left temple and the right temple of the myopic glasses are respectively stuck in the left seam 44 and the right seam 45, and the light-shielding performance of the mask will not be affected by wearing myopic glasses.

[0052] The utility model also discloses a head mounted display device, which comprises a host and a head mounted structure, and also comprises the above-mentioned mask mounted on the host.

[0053] Specifically, the headband structure is a headband, and the user's forehead is the main supporting part, which is subject to relatively large pressure. The position of the mask corresponding to the user's forehead not only needs to block light, but also needs to be under pressure to play a supporting role; the cheeks and temples are basically not under pressure or are under very little pressure. The mask mainly plays a role of blocking light at the cheeks and temples of the user. The headband structure is an existing technology, and its specific structure is not repeated here.

[0054] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
