[0025] It should be noted that these drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the conceptual scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention for those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a connection mechanism for connecting a first component and a second component. The connection mechanism is connected to the first component and the second component respectively, and can realize relative rotation between the first component and the second structure.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a connection mechanism 1 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure connecting a frame 3 and a temple 2 is shown. The connection mechanism 1 connects the frame 3 and the temple 2, respectively. That is, the first component and the second component can be the frame 3 and the temple 2, respectively, and the frame 3 and the temple 2 are connected by the connection mechanism 1. The relative rotation between the frame 3 and the temple 2 can be achieved by the connection mechanism 1 to adjust the angle of the temple 2 relative to the frame 3. It can be understood that the first component is not limited to the frame 3, and the second component is not limited to the temple 2, that is, the connection mechanism 1 is not limited to connecting the frame 3 and the temple 2.

[0031] Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a local structure of glasses 100 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the connection mechanism 1 may include: a support 11 and a connection bracket 12, the support 11 and the connection bracket 12 are rotatably connected, and the two can rotate relative to each other within a certain angle range. The support 11 can be used to connect the first component, and the connection bracket 12 is used to connect the second component, so as to achieve the connection between the first component and the second component. When the support 11 and the connection bracket 12 rotate relative to each other, the first component and the second component rotate relative to each other, and the angle between the first component and the second component can be adjusted.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 11 can be used to connect the temple 2, and the connecting bracket 12 can be used to connect the frame 3, so as to achieve the connection between the temple and the frame 3. When the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 rotate relative to each other, the temple 2 rotates relative to the frame 3, so that the angle between the temple 2 and the frame 3 can be adjusted.

[0033] Optionally, the temples 2 at both ends of the glasses are connected to the frame 3 through the connecting mechanism 1, so that both temples 2 can rotate relative to the frame 3. For example, the two temples 2 can be spread outward relative to the frame 3 through the connecting mechanism 1, so that the glasses can be suitable for wearers with different head circumferences.

[0034] Figure 3The structural schematic diagram of the support 11 of the connection mechanism 1 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The support 11 includes a first extension portion 111 and a second extension portion 114, and the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 are connected. Optionally, the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can extend in different directions, that is, there can be an angle between the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114. Alternatively, the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can also extend along a curve, for example, the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 extend along an arc.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the connecting bracket 12 includes oppositely disposed limiting portions 121. The oppositely disposed limiting portions 121 can accommodate the second extension portion 114 and provide a space for the second extension portion 114 to move. Optionally, the limiting portions 121 are two limiting portions 121 spaced apart and oppositely disposed.

[0036] Optionally, the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 are rotatably connected, and the second extension portion 114 of the support 11 is located between the oppositely arranged limiting portions 121, and the second extension portion 114 can rotate around the first axial direction, so that the first component can rotate around the first axial direction relative to the second component. The limiting portion 121 of the connecting bracket 12 limits the limit position of the relative rotation of the second extension portion 114, that is, limits the relative rotation range of the second extension portion 114. In this way, the relative rotation range of the first component and the second component can be limited.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first axial direction may be the rotational axial direction of the temple 2 extending outward around the frame 3. When the second extension portion 114 of the connecting bracket 12 is limited to the limiting portion 121 on one side, a first angle is formed between the temple 2 and the frame 3; when the second extension portion 114 is limited to the limiting portion 121 on the other side, a second angle is formed between the temple 2 and the frame 3. Thus, the temple 2 and the frame 3 can be rotated between the first angle and the second angle.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, an elastic component 13 may be further provided inside the connection mechanism 1. The elastic force of the elastic component 13 may be used as a reset force for the support 11 to move relative to the connection bracket 12, that is, a damping force for the relative movement between the first component and the second component.

[0039] Optionally, the elastic component 13 is used to provide a damping force for the temples 2 to expand outward relative to the frame 3. When the glasses are worn on the user's head, the two temples of the glasses expand outward. The damping force provided by the elastic component 13 can enable the two temples 2 to clamp the user's head, so that the temples 2 can share the pressure of the nose pads of the glasses, and the glasses can be stably worn on the wearer's head.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the elastic component 13 is located between the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12, and is used to provide a restoring force for the first extension portion 111 to rotate closer to the connecting bracket 12. Under the action of external force, when the temple 2 is opened relative to the frame 3, the elastic component 13 located between the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 is deformed by the force. After the external force is removed, the elastic component 13 restores the deformation, so that the temple 2 is retracted inwardly relative to the frame 3. The provision of the elastic component 13 provides a damping force for the temple 2 to expand outward relative to the frame 3, so that the temple 2 can share the pressure of the nose pad of the glasses, and makes it difficult for the glasses 100 worn on the human body to fall off, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the damping force provided by the elastic component 13 is related to the change in the rotation angle of the temple 2. Optionally, the damping force provided by the elastic component 13 can also be related to the change in the length of the elastic component 13. When the temple 2 rotates, the length of the elastic component 13 changes, thereby providing a reset force for the temple 2 to rotate in the opposite direction. Optionally, the elastic component 13 has a variable opening angle, and the damping force provided by the elastic component 13 can also be related to the change in the opening angle of the elastic component 13. When the temple 2 rotates, the opening angle of the elastic component 13 changes, thereby providing a reset force for the temple 2 to rotate in the opposite direction. Compared with an elastic component with a variable length, an elastic component with a variable opening angle can provide a greater damping force, thereby providing a greater clamping force to the temple 2 of the glasses 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the elastic component 13 is located between the second extension portion 114 and any limiting portion 121 of the connecting bracket 12, so that when the first extension portion 111 rotates away from the connecting bracket 12, the second extension portion 114 acts on the elastic component 13 to deform the elastic component 13. For example, the second extension portion 114 can compress or stretch the elastic component 13, so that the elastic component 13 is deformed, or the deformation of the elastic component 13 is increased. Thus, the elastic component 13 provides a restoring force for the first extension portion 111 to rotate in a direction close to the connecting bracket 12.

[0043] Exemplarily, when the connection mechanism 1 is used for the glasses 100, the connection bracket 12 may include two limiting portions 121 arranged on the inner side and the outer side. Optionally, when the temple 2 is extended, the second extension portion 114 may be used to compress the elastic component 13 so that the elastic component 13 provides a reverse reset force, which can be achieved by arranging the elastic component 13 between the second extension portion 114 and the limiting portion 121 on the inner side. Alternatively, when the temple 2 is extended, the second extension portion 114 may be used to stretch the elastic component 13 so that the elastic component 13 provides a reverse reset force, which can be achieved by arranging the elastic component 13 between the second extension portion 114 and the limiting portion 121 on the outer side.

[0044] It is understandable that the "inner limiting portion" mentioned above can be understood as the limiting portion close to the face when the glasses are worn, and the "outer limiting portion" can be understood as the limiting portion away from the face when the glasses are worn.

[0045] Figures 4 to 6 Three different viewing angles of the connection mechanism 1 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. The connection bracket 12 includes two connection arms 122, and the two connection arms 122 and the limiting portion 121 form an accommodation space, and the second extension portion 114 is accommodated in the accommodation space.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, each connecting arm 122 is respectively connected to two limiting portions 121. Optionally, the plane where the connecting arm 122 is located is substantially perpendicular to the limiting portion 121. The two connecting arms 122 can be used to limit the position of the second extension portion 114, and the distance between the two connecting arms 122 is slightly larger than the width of the second extension portion 114, so that the second extension portion 114 can be limited to swing only within the accommodation space in cooperation with the two limiting portions 121.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 11 further includes a first rotating connection portion 113, which is connected to at least one of the two connecting arms 122. The connecting arm 122 also provides a physical structure for installing the first rotating connection portion 113, which facilitates the connection between the connecting bracket 12 and the support 11.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the first rotating connection part 113 may include a connecting shaft 1132, and the connecting shaft 1132 is used to connect the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12, so that the first component can rotate relative to the second component around the connecting shaft 1132, and the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1132 is the first axial direction. Optionally, the connecting shaft 1132 and the support 11 can be detachable separate parts; or, the connecting shaft 1132 and the support 11 can also be integrally formed.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating connection part 113 may include a connecting column 1131, which is arranged at the corner between the first extension part 111 and the second extension part 114, and the connecting column 1131 has a column hole 1131a. The connecting shaft 1132 may be fixedly or rotatably connected to the column hole 1131a. The connecting arm 122 of the connecting bracket 12 may be provided with a first connecting hole 1221, and the connecting shaft 1132 is plugged into the column hole 1131a and the first connecting hole 1221. In this way, the connecting bracket 12 can be rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 1132.

[0050] Optionally, the connecting shaft 1132 may include a column and a cap body disposed at one end of the column, and the end of the column away from the cap body passes through the first connecting hole 1221 on the upper connecting arm 122 and the column hole 1131a of the connecting column 1131 in sequence, and then is connected to the first connecting hole 1221 on the lower connecting arm 122. Among them, at least one of the first connecting hole 1221 and the column hole 1131a may be provided with an internal thread, and the connecting shaft 1132 may be provided with an external thread, and the column is at least threadedly connected to one of the first connecting hole 1221 and the column hole 1131a. The cap body is limited to the upper connecting arm 122. The connecting column 1131 is disposed at the angle between the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114, and occupies less space of the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114, does not affect the connection between the first extension portion 111 and the first component, and does not affect the cooperation between the second extension portion 114 and the connecting bracket 12.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 11 may include a mounting plate connected to the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114, and the mounting plate extends from the first extension portion 111 to the second extension portion 114. The connecting column 1131 may be provided on the mounting plate. The column hole 1131a passes through the connecting column 1131 and the mounting plate at the same time, so that the connecting shaft 1132 of the first rotating connecting portion 113 passes through the connecting column 1131 and the mounting plate. Optionally, the plane where the mounting plate is located is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the plane where the first extension portion 111 is located and the plane where the second extension portion 114 is located, and the mounting plate is connected to the ends of the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 on the same side.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, two connecting arms 122 are disposed at one end of the connecting bracket 12 away from the second component. The plane where the two connecting arms 122 are located is substantially perpendicular to the plane where the second extension portion 114 is located, and the plane where the two limiting portions 121 are located is substantially parallel to the plane where the second extension portion 114 is located, and an accommodating space for accommodating the second extension portion 114 can be formed between the two connecting arms 122 and the two limiting portions 121.

[0053] Figure 8A schematic structural diagram of a connection mechanism 1 using a spring sheet is shown in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the spring in the connection mechanism provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the elastic component 13 may include a bent spring sheet, and the bent portion of the spring sheet is sleeved on the connecting column 1131. Exemplarily, the bent spring sheet may be roughly U-shaped, with an outer convex arc sheet and two straight sheets located on both sides of the outer convex arc sheet. The connecting column 1131 may be located in the inner groove of the outer convex arc sheet, and the two straight sheets are respectively pressed against the limiting portion 121 and the second extension portion 114.

[0054] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a connecting mechanism 1 using a torsion spring provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic component 13 may include a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the connecting column 1131. The torsion spring has a spiral barrel section and torsion arms located at both ends of the spiral barrel section. The spiral barrel section is sleeved on the connecting column 1131, and the two torsion arms are located in the accommodating space and respectively abut against the second extension portion 114 and the limiting portion 121.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the second extension portion 114 includes a wide section 1141 and a narrow section 1142, wherein the wide section 1141 is connected to the first extension portion 111, and the narrow section 1142 is connected to one end of the wide section 1141 away from the first extension portion 111. The width of the wide section 1141 is smaller than the distance between the two connecting arms 122. The width of the narrow section 1142 is smaller than the width of the wide section 1141. When the support 11 rotates to the limit position around the first axial direction, the narrow section 1142 stops at the limit portion 121. The second extension portion 114 has a larger width on one side close to the first extension portion 111 and a smaller width on the end away from the first extension portion 111, so the overall structural strength is good and deformation is not easy to occur. The free end of the second extension portion 114 has the largest movement range. By providing a narrow body section 1142 on one side of the free end of the second extension portion 114, it is convenient to cooperate with the limiting portion 121, and it is not easy to cause friction interference with other structures on the connecting bracket 12, such as the connecting arm 122, thereby improving reliability. The connecting bracket 12 can be made of wear-resistant material, for example, the connecting bracket 12 can be made of stainless steel.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, any one of the limiting parts 121 of the connecting bracket 12 is formed by a limiting member 121a, and the limiting member 121a is detachably connected to the above-mentioned connecting bracket 12. When assembling the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12, the second extension 114 can be placed in the accommodation space first, and then the limiting member 121a is connected to the connecting bracket 12, and the free end of the second extension 114 is limited in the accommodation space. Optionally, a connecting hole can be opened on the connecting bracket 12, and the limiting member 121a is opened with a through hole, and the limiting member 121a is fixedly connected to the connecting hole of the connecting bracket 12 by a fastener. Optionally, there can be multiple connecting holes, and the multiple connecting holes extend along the arrangement direction of the two connecting arms 122. By making the limiting member 121a detachable, the assembly of the support 11 and the connecting bracket 12 can be facilitated. During long-term use, when the limiting member 121a is deformed and damaged, the limiting member 121a can be conveniently disassembled and replaced, thereby extending the service life of the entire connecting mechanism 1.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the connecting mechanism 1 may further include a second rotating connecting portion 112 arranged on the first extension portion 111, and the second rotating connecting portion 112 is used to connect the first component and the first extension portion 111, so that the first component rotates around the second axial direction through the second rotating connecting portion 112, so that the first component can rotate around the second axial direction relative to the second component, and there is an angle between the second axial direction and the first axial direction.

[0058] Fig.10 FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a partial structure of glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig.10 As shown, the glasses 100 include temples 2 and a frame 3. The temples 2 can be expanded outwards around a first axial direction relative to the frame 3. Thus, the glasses 100 can be adapted to wearers with different head circumferences.

[0059] Fig.12 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the matching structure of the temples, the connecting mechanism and the crossbeam in the glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig.12 As shown, combined Fig.10 The glasses 100 include temples 2, frames 3 and the above-mentioned connecting mechanism 1. When assembling the glasses 100, the support 11 is first connected to the temples 2, and then the connecting bracket 12 is connected to the frame 3, so that the whole assembly of the glasses 100 can be completed quickly, which is conducive to improving the whole assembly efficiency.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the extension direction of the first extension portion 111 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the temple 2, and the second extension portion 114 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the frame 3 when it abuts against one of the limiting portions 121. The angle between the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can be adapted to the angle required between the frame 3 and the temple 2 when the temple 2 is in the open state. Optionally, the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can be substantially perpendicular to each other, and the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 114 can also form an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees. In the process of the temple 2 driving the first extension portion to rotate, the second extension portion 114 swings along the thickness direction of the frame 3 to squeeze or release the elastic component 13, and the clamping force of the temple 2 is provided through the reaction force of the elastic component 13.

[0061] It can be understood that the thickness direction of the frame 3 refers to the direction perpendicular to the plane where the frame 3 is located.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the second extension portion 114 abuts against one of the limiting portions 121, the cross beam 32 can be deformed. One of the two limiting portions 121 connecting the bracket 12 is located on the side of the glasses 100 close to the wearer's face, and the other is located on the side of the glasses 100 away from the wearer's face. When the temples 2 are unfolded outward, the second extension portion 114 abuts against the limiting portion 121 on the side close to the wearer's face, inevitably causing the two ends of the cross beam 32 to deform away from the wearer's face. When the temples 2 are retracted inward, the second extension portion 114 abuts against the limiting portion 121 on the side away from the wearer, inevitably causing the middle portion of the cross beam 32 to deform away from the wearer's front side.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the glasses 100 may be smart glasses 100, and the smart glasses 100 include temples 2 and frames 3. The smart glasses 100 also include an optical imaging system 5, which is fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 32 and can project a display image into the wearer's eyes. Optionally, the smart glasses 100 may be augmented reality glasses.

[0064] Fig.11 A diagram showing the coordination of the crossbar 32 and the optical imaging system 5 in the glasses 100 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.13 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the coordination structure of the front frame 31, the crossbeam 32, the connecting mechanism 1 and the optical imaging system 5 in the glasses provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.11 As shown, the mirror frame 3 includes a crossbeam 32, and the crossbeam 32 is used to carry the optical imaging system 5. Fig.13As shown, the frame 3 further includes a front frame 31, which is connected to at least one of the crossbeam 32 and the temple 2. The front frame 31 is an appearance component of the smart glasses 100, and can carry lenses, for example.

[0065] Optionally, the mirror frame 3 includes a front frame 31, a crossbeam 32 and a rear frame. The front frame 31 and the rear frame are connected, and a receiving space is formed between the two, and the crossbeam 32 is arranged in the receiving space. It can be understood that the terms "front frame" and "rear frame" do not mean to limit the positions of the two components, but are just for the convenience of distinction. Ordinary technicians in this field can set the components and their positions that can realize the embodiments of the present disclosure according to the working principle.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, combined with Fig.10 and Fig.13 As shown, the connection bracket 12 of the connection mechanism 1 is detachably connected to the end of the cross beam 32, so that the temple 2 is connected to the cross beam 32 through the connection mechanism 1. The front frame 31 is connected to the cross beam 32, wherein there is a deformation gap between the two ends of the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31, so that the cross beam 32 does not cause deformation of the front frame 31 when it is deformed.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the cross beam 32 will inevitably be deformed when the temple 2 is unfolded outward, if the front frame 31 is connected to the temple 2, or the cross beam 32 is integrally in contact with the front frame 31 and fixedly connected, the front frame 31 will be deformed synchronously with the cross beam, affecting the appearance of the glasses 100 and easily causing the front frame 31 to crack. By connecting the temple 2 only to the cross beam 32 but not to the front frame 31, and forming a deformation gap between the end of the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31, when an external force is applied to the temple 2 to unfold the temple 2 outward, the deformation of the cross beam 32 will not be transmitted to the front frame 31.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, combined with Fig.10 and Fig.13 As shown, the glasses 100 further include a sensor, which is arranged at a position near the deformation gap on the front frame 31. When wearing the glasses 100, if the front frame 31 is deformed, the position and posture of the sensor will change, which will seriously affect the position and posture accuracy of the sensor installed on the front frame, affect the data collection accuracy of the sensor, and cause the data processing accuracy of the smart glasses 100, affecting the user experience.

[0069] It can be understood that the frame 3 includes a left eyepiece frame and a right eyepiece frame, and the length direction of the frame 3 and the length direction of the front frame 31 both refer to the direction in which the frame 3 and the front frame 31 are arranged along the left eyepiece frame and the right eyepiece frame.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the sensor on the front frame 31 can be a sensor capable of capturing at least one of a position or a posture, for example, it can be a camera 6 or an inertial measurement unit. Taking the sensor as the camera 6 as an example, the camera 6 can be used to provide image acquisition based on visual tracking and positioning, for interactive gesture recognition, and can also be used for daily photography and video recording. The camera 6 can be arranged at both ends of the front frame 31 along the length direction. When the temple 2 is stretched outward and causes deformation at both ends of the crossbeam 32, due to the deformation gap between the two ends of the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31, the two ends of the crossbeam 32 will not interfere with the front frame 31, and the front frame 31 will not be deformed, thereby not affecting the position accuracy of the camera 6.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, a camera hole 311 may be provided on the front frame, the camera 6 is located inside the front frame, and the camera 6 covers the camera hole 311. The front frame may play a role in fixing and protecting the camera 6. The front frame and the camera 6 may be connected and fixed by any one of an adhesive structure, a clamping structure, and a fastener connection structure.

[0072] In some possible embodiments, the smart glasses 100 further include a cable, and the cable is connected to the sensor. The cable extends from the end of the front frame 31 to the middle of the front frame 31 along the inner wall of the front frame 31, and extends to the crossbeam 32. The middle of the front frame 31 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 32. In this way, the cable segment between the end of the front frame 31 and the middle of the front frame 31 extends along the inner wall of the front frame 31, and the cable is connected to the inner wall of the front frame 31 and to the middle of the crossbeam 32, which can prevent the cable from moving when the crossbeam 32 is deformed, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the camera 6 and the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0073] In some possible implementations, see Fig.10 As shown, the mirror frame 3 includes a deformable element 352 , which is located in the deformation gap, and the deformable element 352 is limitedly matched with at least one of the front frame 31 and the crossbeam 32 .

[0074] The deformable element 352 may be an elastic element, which can buffer the external force when subjected to force, and can restore the deformation after the external force is removed. The elastic element may be, for example, a spring. The deformable element 352 may also be a flexible element, which is deformed when subjected to external force, and is restored after the external force is removed. The flexible element may be, for example, a flexible gasket or foam, which can buffer the effect of the deformation of the crossbeam 32 on the front frame 31. By arranging the deformable element 352 in the deformation gap, the effect of the deformation of the crossbeam 32 on the deformation of the front frame 31 can be absorbed, the deformation of the front frame can be reduced, the sensor can maintain a precise angle, and the user experience can be improved.

[0075] It should be noted that the above-mentioned deformable element 352 can only cooperate with the crossbeam 32 in limiting position. Alternatively, the above-mentioned deformable element 352 can also only cooperate with the front frame 31 in limiting position. Alternatively, the above-mentioned deformable element 352 can also cooperate with both the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 in limiting position. Regarding the definition of "limiting position", it can be understood that the deformable element 352 elastically presses against at least one of the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31 to achieve limiting position by elastic force. It can also be understood that a specific limiting matching structure is set in the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31, and the deformable element 352 can be connected to the limiting matching structure. The limiting matching part limits the deformable element 352 to prevent the deformable element 352 from falling off. The limiting matching structure can be any one of a protrusion (such as a limiting column) and a groove. Of course, the limiting matching structure can also be other structures, which are not limited to the only one in the present disclosure.

[0076] In some possible implementations, the mirror frame 3 includes a deformable element 352 and a side connector 351. The side connector 351 is disposed at the end of the crossbeam 32 along the length direction, and the side connector 351 connects the crossbeam 32 and the front frame 31. The deformable element 352 is disposed on the side connector 351.

[0077] Exemplarily, the side connecting member 351 is at least partially located between the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 , and the side connecting member 351 may be fixedly connected to the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 respectively by bonding, clamping or fastener connection.

[0078] Exemplarily, the side connector 351 may be made of a rigid material. For example, the side connector 351 may be a rigid connector, and the deformable element 352 may be disposed in the gap formed between the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 and disposed on the rigid connector. Optionally, the rigid connector may be provided with the deformable element 352 and be located in the gap formed between the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31. Optionally, the deformable element 352 may be, for example, a flexible gasket or foam. The rigid connector may be, for example, a screw.

[0079] For example, see Fig.10 As shown, at least two deformable elements 352 are arranged at each end of the front frame, and the deformable elements 352 at each end of the front frame are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the front frame. The deformable elements 352 have a central hole, and each rigid connector passes through the cross beam 32 and the central hole of the corresponding deformable element 352 in sequence to be connected to the front frame.

[0080] In some possible implementations, the mirror frame 3 includes a middle connecting member 34 . The middle connecting member 34 is disposed in the middle of the cross beam 32 along the length direction. The middle connecting member 34 connects the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 .

[0081] Optionally, the middle connecting piece 34 can be made of a rigid material. The middle position of the cross beam 32 is farthest from the temples 2 at both ends, and the rotation of the temples 2 has little effect on the middle position of the cross beam 32. Therefore, the middle part of the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 can be connected and fixed by the middle connecting piece 34 made of a rigid material. By rigidly connecting the middle part of the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32, a large relative shake between the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32 can be avoided, so that the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32 have better integrity. The middle connecting piece 34 made of a rigid material can be a screw.

[0082] Optionally, the middle connecting member 34 may also be formed of a deformable material. Although the temples 2 are connected to the ends of the cross beam 32, when the two temples 2 are folded inward at the same time, it is inevitable that the middle of the cross beam 32 will be deformed to a certain extent, so that the cross beam 32 drives the front frame 31 to deform to a certain extent. The middle connecting member 34 is at least partially located between the front frame 31 and the cross beam 32, which can buffer and absorb the deformation of the cross beam 32 and reduce the impact of the deformation of the cross beam 32 on the front frame 31. The middle connecting member 34 can be fixedly connected to the cross beam 32 and the front frame 31 respectively by bonding, clamping or fastener connection.

[0083] Optionally, the middle connector 34 may also be formed by a combination of a rigid material and a deformable material. Exemplarily, the middle connector 34 may include a deformable element and a rigid connector, and the deformable element may be disposed between the crossbeam and the front frame and disposed on the rigid connector. For example, the rigid connector may be disposed through the deformable element, the crossbeam and the front frame to connect and fix the three. The deformable element may be a flexible gasket or foam. The rigid connector may be a screw.

[0084] In some possible implementations, the ends of the connecting bracket 12 and the crossbeam 32 may be fixedly connected by fasteners. There is a deformation gap between the sensor arranged on the front frame 31 and the connecting bracket 12. When the temple 2 is opened, the connecting bracket 12 approaches the front frame 31 but does not contact the sensor.

[0085] In some possible implementations, see Figure 2 As shown, an assembly portion 320 is provided at the end of the cross beam 32 along the length direction, and the assembly portion 320 is connected to the connecting bracket 12 and connected to the front frame 31 .

[0086] The assembly part 320 is the end of the crossbeam 32 and has a dual function, which can be used to connect and fix with the temple 2, and also to connect and assemble with the front frame 31. There is a deformation gap between the assembly part 320 and the front frame 31, and the deformable element 352 can be arranged in the deformation gap. Optionally, two deformable elements 352 can be arranged between the assembly part 320 and the front frame 31 at each end of the crossbeam 32, and each deformable element 352 is arranged in sequence along the height direction of the front frame. The deformable element 352 has a central hole, and each rigid connector passes through the assembly part 320 and the central hole of the corresponding deformable element 352 in sequence to be connected to the front frame.

[0087] Optionally, a through hole may be provided on the assembly portion 320, and the through hole extends along the thickness direction of the lens frame 3. A connecting column is provided on the inner surface of the front frame 31, and the connecting column has a threaded groove. The rigid connector has a screw and a cap body, the screw passes through the through hole of the assembly portion 320 and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove of the connecting column on the front frame 31, and the cap body of the rigid connector is limited on the assembly portion 320. It can be understood that the thickness direction of the lens frame 3 may refer to a direction perpendicular to the plane where the front frame 31 is located.

[0088] In some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the crossbeam 32 can be used to install the optical imaging system 5 of the glasses 100. The crossbeam 32 has a certain structural strength, which can ensure the position accuracy of the optical imaging system 5. A connecting hole is provided on the crossbeam 32, and the connecting hole penetrates the crossbeam 32 along the height direction of the frame 3. The optical imaging system 5 is located at the bottom of the crossbeam 32, and one end of the fastener a passes through the connecting hole on the crossbeam 32 and is connected to the optical imaging system 5.

[0089] In some possible implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the assembly portion 320 includes a first connecting plate 321, and a notch portion 3211 is provided on the first connecting plate 321. The connecting bracket 12 has a second connecting plate 123, and a protrusion 1232 is provided on the second connecting plate 123. The notch portion 3211 cooperates with the protrusion 1232 to limit the first connecting plate 123. The first connecting plate 321 and the second connecting plate 123 can fit together in the thickness direction, and the protrusion 1232 can be inserted into the notch portion 3211. The notch portion 3211 and the protrusion 1232 are limited and cooperated, so that the crossbeam 32 and the connecting bracket 12 are connected as a whole.

[0090] The second connecting plate 123 is detachably connected to the first connecting plate 321. For example, the first connecting plate 321 and the second connecting plate 123 can be connected and fixed by fasteners. The first connecting plate 321 can be provided with a notch 3211 and a plurality of first fixing holes 3212. Each of the first fixing holes 3212 is provided on both sides of the notch 3211. The second connecting plate 123 is provided with a plurality of second fixing holes 1231. Each fastener passes through the second fixing hole 1231 and is connected to the corresponding first fixing hole 3212.

[0091] In some possible implementations, see Figure 2 As shown, the assembly part 320 of the smart glasses 100 further includes a baffle 322. The baffle 322 is formed on both sides of the first connecting plate 321 along the thickness direction of the front frame 31, and a limiting groove is formed between the baffle 322 and the first connecting plate 321, and the second connecting plate 123 is limited in the limiting groove. The baffle 322 is connected to the front frame 31. In addition to limiting the connection plate, the baffle 322 is also used to connect to the front frame 31.

[0092] Optionally, the thickness end surface of the second connecting plate 123 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the limiting groove defines the position of the second connecting plate 123 to prevent the second connecting plate 123 from shifting relative to the assembly portion 320 .

[0093] In some possible implementation schemes, there is a deformation gap between the baffle 322 and the front frame 31, and the deformable element 352 can be arranged in the deformation gap. A through hole is opened on the baffle 322 along the thickness direction. The deformable element 352 can be arranged between the baffle 322 and the frame 3, and one end of the side connecting member 351 passes through the through hole and is connected to the front frame 31.

Fig.14 , Fig.15 As shown, combined Figure 2 , the temples 2 of the glasses 100 can also swing up and down around the second axis relative to the frame 3. The free ends of the temples 2 can swing up and down relative to the frame 3, which can adapt to wearers with different relative heights of ears and eyes, so that the wearer's eyes can be located within the designed eye box (Eye Box), thereby. Allowing the wearer to see a complete and clear display screen. In some optional embodiments, the temples 2 of the glasses 100 can both expand outward around the first axis relative to the frame 3 and swing up and down around the second axis relative to the frame. Optionally, the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis.

[0095] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 ,14 As shown in Figures 15, the connecting mechanism 1 also includes a second rotating connecting portion 112 arranged on the first extending portion 111, and the second rotating connecting portion 112 is used to rotatably connect the temple 2 and the first extending portion 111, so that the first component can rotate around the second axial direction through the second rotating connecting portion 112, so that the first component can rotate around the second axial direction relative to the second component.

[0096] See also Figure 2 As shown, the first extension portion 111 is rotatably connected to the temple 2 through the second rotation connection portion 112, so that the temple 2 can swing up and down relative to the frame 3. Fig.14 , 15 As shown, the temple 2 is provided with a first tooth portion 21, and the convex teeth of the first tooth portion 21 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the temple 2. The first extension portion 111 is provided with a second tooth portion 1111 adapted to the first tooth portion 21. When the temple 2 rotates relative to the first extension portion 111, it can drive the first tooth portion 21 to move relative to the second tooth portion 1111, thereby changing the position of meshing with the second tooth portion 1111.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, the temple 2 can move in two different directions, that is, the two temples 2 of the glasses 100 can be stretched outward (bent outward) to adapt to the head circumference of different wearers and improve the adaptability. In addition, the two temples 2 of the glasses 100 can also swing up and down to achieve up and down adjustment to adapt to the relative height of the ears and eyes of different wearers, so that the eyes of different wearers can be located within the designed eye box. The first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 1111 both include a plurality of convex teeth. By adjusting the temple 2 up and down, the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 1111 can be engaged at different positions to adjust the up and down swing position of the temple 2. The second rotating connecting portion 112 may include a fastener 1121, a disc spring 1124, a friction plate 1123 and a second connecting hole 1122 provided on the first extension portion 111. One end of the fastener 1121 can be connected to the rotating column 22 on the temple 2 after passing through the disc spring 1124, the friction plate 1123, and the second connecting hole 1122 on the first extension portion 111 in sequence. The setting of the disc spring 1124 and the friction plate 1123 provides damping for the up and down swinging of the temple 2.
