Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a ball hinge structure of a temple. Background Art

[0002] The glasses include a frame for mounting lenses and temples coupled to the frame on both sides. The temples are rotatably mounted via a hinge structure. One side of the hinge structure is coupled to the frame, and the other side is coupled to the temples, so that the temples can be folded or unfolded via the hinge. In the prior art, most hinge structures of glasses use screw hinges. During actual long-term use, the hinge structure of such glasses will become loose and will deform after being compressed, making it unusable. This is one of the weakest structures in the glasses. Therefore, the screw hinge structure that is currently widely used still has great limitations in use.

[0003] There are hinges that are not easy to loosen, such as a hinge device for eyeglass frames with patent number CN218917833U, which includes an articulated ball, a mounting piece and a rotating ring; one end of the mounting piece is provided with a receiving portion for receiving the articulated ball, the articulated ball is inserted into the rotating ring and then movably installed in the receiving portion, and a rotating groove is provided on the outer periphery of the receiving portion for the rotating ring to rotate, so that the rotating ring can rotate relative to the mounting piece, and the rotating ring is also connected to the temple portion. The mounting piece and the rotating ring in the utility model are rotatably connected through the articulated ball, and the rotating ring can rotate around the articulated ball after being inserted into the groove, thereby realizing the function of unfolding and folding the temples of the frame.

[0004] In this embodiment, the hinge structure adopts a spherical structure so that the hinge has a higher structural strength. Since the screw structure is eliminated, the hinge structure of the frame can be prevented from being damaged by pressure or becoming loose during use. However, the defects thereof are as follows:

[0005] 1. After long-term use of glasses, the articulated ball will wear out. When replacing the articulated ball, the mounting body and the temple need to be disassembled, which is inconvenient;

[0006] 2. When the temples swing, the articulated balls wear out, causing the hinge gap to become larger, making the temples easy to loosen when used. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited.

[0045] The server provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a ball hinge structure for a temple, including a temple 1, a hinge body 2, and also includes: a pair of hemispherical bodies 3, which can be detachably installed on the hinge body 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the hinge body 2 includes a support portion 201 which is circularly arranged at the rear end of the hinge body; a pair of mounting grooves which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the support portion 201 ; and a clamping portion 203 which is arranged on the hinge body 2 and located on one side of the support portion 201 .

[0049] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of connecting posts 4, which are respectively arranged at the planar end of each hemisphere 3; wherein the pair of connecting posts 4 are respectively installed in each installation groove.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting cavity 5, which is arranged at the connecting end of the temple 1; and a limiting portion 6, which is arranged in the connecting cavity 5; wherein the hinge body 2 is installed in the connecting cavity 5, and the clamping portion 203 is installed on the limiting portion 6.

[0051] Furthermore, it also includes a receiving portion 7, which is arranged on the temple 1 and connected to the connecting cavity 5; wherein a pair of hemispherical bodies 3 can be rotatably installed in the receiving portion 7.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when it is necessary to connect the temple 1 and the hinge body 2, the support portion 201 of the hinge body 2 is first inserted into the connecting cavity 5 and passed through the accommodating portion 7, and a pair of hemispheres 3 are respectively installed on the upper and lower ends of the support portion 201, and each connecting column 4 is respectively snapped into the corresponding mounting groove, wherein the support portion 201 is arranged in a circular shape, and its diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the mounting surface of the hemisphere 3. After the hemisphere 3 is installed, the support portion 201 is pressed back into the accommodating portion 7. At the same time, due to the setting of the hemisphere 3, the temple 1 can be rotated. When the temple 1 is opened, the accommodating portion 7 rotates along the hemisphere 3, and the snap-on portion 203 is installed on the limiting portion 6 to ensure the stability of the opened temple 1. Due to the friction between the temple 1 and the hinge body 2 during use, the hemisphere 3 will be worn. The support part 201 can be inserted out of the accommodating part 7, and the hemisphere 3 can be directly removed from the support part 201, and a new hemisphere 3 can be replaced. This ensures that the hemisphere 3 can be replaced without removing the hinge body 2, which is more convenient.

[0053] Embodiment 2:

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, it also includes: a pair of air-avoiding grooves 8, which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the accommodating portion 7; a pair of supporting components 9, which are respectively arranged on each air-avoiding groove 8; wherein the supporting ends of a pair of supporting components 9 are respectively in contact with the outer wall of each hemisphere 3.

[0055] Furthermore, the support assembly 9 includes a limit groove 10, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the avoidance groove 8; a guide groove 11, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the limit groove 10; a support block 12, which is movably installed in the limit groove 10; and an elastic member 13, which is fixedly connected between the support block 12 and the bottom surface of the guide groove 11.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when the glasses are opened and closed, the temple 1 and the hinge body 2 rub against each other, and the hemisphere 3 will wear. In order to reduce the wear of the hemisphere 3, an air-avoiding groove 8 is provided in the upper and lower inner parts of the accommodating part 7 corresponding to the center of the hemisphere 3. The provision of the air-avoiding groove 8 reduces the contact area between the hemisphere 3 and the accommodating part 7. When the hemisphere 3 is worn, the gap between the outer wall of the hemisphere 3 and the air-avoiding groove 8 becomes larger. At the same time, the elastic member 13 supports the support block 12. The elastic member 13 of the present application is a spring. When the spring loses the pressure of the hemisphere 3, the spring stretches and pushes the support block 12 to move outward along the limiting groove 10, so that the support block 12 fits the outer wall of the hemisphere 3, ensuring the support for the support block 12 and preventing the temple 1 from loosening when rotating.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise one..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.
