Detailed Embodiments
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present disclosure but are not used to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
[0032] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.
[0033] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, 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 directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0034] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the adapter circuit assembly provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The adapter circuit assembly can be disposed on an electronic device with a relatively small size and is used for circuit adaptation between two electronic devices on the electronic device. As an example, the adapter circuit assembly can be disposed in the camera module for circuit connection between the camera module and glasses, etc.
[0035] In some alternative embodiments, taking the camera module as an example, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the camera module generally can include a housing 7, a camera 3, and a first component 2. The first component 2 can be a first connector. The housing 7 has a cavity. The camera 3 can be disposed in the housing 7, and the first component 2 can be disposed on the surface of the housing 7. The adapter circuit assembly can be disposed in the cavity of the housing 7, and the adapter circuit assembly can be electrically connected to the first component 2 and the camera 3 respectively to achieve communication connection between the camera 3 and the first component 2. The first component 2 can send a control signal to the camera 3 through the adapter circuit assembly, and the camera 3 can transmit the collected image data to the first component 2 through the adapter circuit assembly. Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the camera module provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 The exploded view of the camera module provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.
[0036] In some alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, the adapter circuit assembly can include a first rigid circuit board 1 and a second rigid circuit board 4. The first rigid circuit board 1 can be used for electrically connecting the first component 2, and the first component 2 can be used for sending a control signal to the camera 3. The shape of the second rigid circuit board 4 matches that of the camera 3 and is used for being mounted on the camera 3. The first rigid circuit board 1 and the second rigid circuit board 4 can be electrically connected. The second rigid circuit board 4 is adaptively designed according to the shape characteristics of the camera 3, so that the second rigid circuit board 4 can match the camera 3. For example, the second rigid circuit board 4 can be in limit fit with the camera 3 and will not interfere with the camera 3, improving the assembly structural stability of the second rigid circuit board 4.
[0037] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the conversion circuit board assembly may further include a first flexible circuit board 5. The first flexible circuit board 5 may be connected between the second rigid circuit board 4 and the first rigid circuit board 1 so that the first component 2 can send a control signal to the camera 3. The first flexible circuit board 5 is deformable and can not only realize the connection between the first rigid circuit board 1 and the second rigid circuit board 4, but also set the connected first rigid circuit board 1 and second rigid circuit board 4 to a relative position with an included angle. As an example, the orientations of the camera 3 and the first component 2 are different. To adapt to their orientations, the first rigid circuit board 1 and the second rigid circuit board 4 can be set to have an included angle and then connected to the first component 2 and the camera 3. At this time, the first flexible circuit board 5 used to connect the first rigid circuit board 1 and the second rigid circuit board 4 can be adaptively in a bent state, so that the two rigid circuit boards are set to have a predetermined included angle.
[0038] It can be understood that the first component 2 can generate a control signal first and then send the control signal, or the first component 2 can also receive a control signal from other components such as an MCU (such as a controller) and then send the received control signal. In some alternative embodiments, the first component 2 may be a first connector for electrically connecting to a second connector 400 on an electronic device. The first connector may be disposed on the outer surface of the housing 7, and the first connector can be electrically connected to the camera 3 through the conversion circuit board assembly, so that the camera 3 can obtain an electrical signal or a control signal through the first connector.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the second rigid circuit board 4 may be perpendicular to the first rigid circuit board 1. The projection of the second rigid circuit board 4 onto the first rigid circuit board falls on the surface of the first rigid circuit board. Or, it can also be described that the second rigid circuit board 4 is located on one side of the first rigid circuit board 1 in the thickness direction. It should be noted that the thickness direction of the first rigid circuit board 1 may be Figure 1 the direction indicated by the arrow d in Figure 1 shown.
[0040] Optionally, the camera module 100 generally includes an electrical connection board 33, a lens barrel 32, and a base 31. The lens barrel 32 can be vertically connected to one side of the base 31, that is, the lens barrel 32 is located on one side of the base 31. Or, it can also be understood that the center line of the lens barrel 32 is perpendicular to the base 31. Here, the electrical connection board 33 can be used to connect the camera module 100 to an external circuit. The electrical connection board 33 can be located above the base 31 and have a certain distance from the lens barrel 32 in the direction perpendicular to the base 3, as Figure 1As shown in the figure. The central axis of the lens barrel 32 is parallel to the upper surface of the electrical connection board 33. Optionally, the above-mentioned adapter circuit assembly can connect the camera module 100 to the first component 2, etc. When the first rigid circuit board 1 is connected to the electrical connection board 33, the second rigid circuit board 4 is located on one side of the lens barrel 32, which is convenient for the second rigid circuit board 4 to cooperate and fix with the lens barrel. The second rigid circuit board 4 is located on one side of the first rigid circuit board 1 in the thickness direction. When the electrical connection board 33 is connected to the first rigid circuit board 1, the second rigid circuit board 4 can just cooperate and fix with the lens barrel 32 of the camera 3 below the front side of the electrical connection board 33. The arrangement of the first rigid circuit board 1 and the second rigid circuit 2 makes the arrangement of the adapter circuit assembly and each component of the camera module 100 more compact, thereby making full use of the internal space of the housing 7 of the camera module 100 and reducing the volume of the camera. The extending direction of the lens barrel 32 can be parallel to the electrical connection board 33, and the electrical connection board 33 can be parallel to the first component 2, so that the first component 2, the first rigid circuit board 1 and the electrical connection board 33 can be arranged in sequence in the thickness direction and connected in sequence. The second rigid circuit board 4 is perpendicular to the first rigid circuit board 1, which is convenient for the second rigid circuit board 4 to be limited and cooperate with the lens barrel 32 of the camera 3, and the second rigid circuit board 4 can be substantially parallel to the base 31 of the camera 3, which is convenient for assembling and connecting with the base 31 of the camera module 100. In this way, on the basis of meeting the connection relationship, the first component 2, the first rigid circuit board 1 and the electrical connection board 33 are compactly arranged, and the three are also compactly arranged with the lens barrel, the second rigid circuit board, etc., thereby further reducing the size of the camera module.
[0041] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the second rigid circuit board 4 has a notch 41 for the camera 3 to pass through. The lens barrel 32 of the camera 3 can pass through the notch 41 of the camera 3, or rather, the second rigid circuit board 4 can be arranged to extend along the circumferential direction of the camera 3. The second rigid circuit board 4 is adaptively designed according to the structural characteristics of the camera 3, so that the second rigid circuit board 4 extends a sufficient length or area for arranging electronic components without interfering with the lens barrel 32. The second rigid circuit board 4 is generally in a "C" shape, occupying a small space, and the inner side can be penetrated by the lens barrel 32. The matching structure of the adapter circuit assembly and the camera 3 is relatively compact, occupying a small space and having a reasonable layout structure.
[0042] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, at least one connection hole 42 is provided on the second rigid circuit board 4, and the connection hole 42 is used for connection and fixation. The second rigid circuit board 4 can be connected to the base 31 of the camera 3 or the housing 7 of the camera 3 through the connection hole 42. As an example, one end of a fastener can pass through the connection hole 42 and be connected to the base 31 of the camera 3 or the housing 7 of the camera 3, and the other end of the fastener can be limited on the second rigid circuit board 4. The fastener can be a screw, and the screw includes a screw rod and a cap body. The screw rod passes through the connection hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole on the base 31 or the housing 7, while the nut is limited on the second rigid circuit board 4.
[0043] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, an indicator light 43 can be provided on the second rigid circuit board 4. When the indicator light 43 is lit, it can indicate that the imaging module 100 is in a certain state. For example, when the imaging module 100 is in the shooting state, the indicator light 43 can be lit to prompt others that the camera 3 is taking pictures. A plurality of indicator lights 43 can be provided on the second rigid circuit board 4, and the indicator lights 43 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the second rigid circuit board 4.
[0044] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the middle position of the second rigid circuit board 4 along the extension direction can be connected to the first flexible circuit board 5, and a plurality of indicator lights 43 can be respectively provided on both sides of the first flexible circuit board 5 on the second rigid circuit board 4.
[0045] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the first rigid circuit board 1 can include an upper board body 11 and a lower board body 12. The upper board body 11 and the lower board body 12 are arranged in parallel, and there is an accommodation space between the upper board body 11 and the lower board body 12 for accommodating electronic components. The upper board body 11 is used for connecting the first component 2, the lower board body 12 is used for connecting the first flexible circuit board 5, and the upper board body 11 and the lower board body 12 are electrically connected through the second flexible circuit board 6.
[0046] By adopting a double-layer board structure, the first rigid circuit board 1 can be conveniently connected to the first component 2 and the electrical connection board 33 respectively, avoiding the problem that the overall area of the first rigid circuit board 1 is large without separation, resulting in a large volume of the imaging module body 100. Moreover, there is a gap between the upper board body 11 and the lower board body 12 after separation, which can accommodate electronic components, further making full use of the space.
[0047] Combined with Figures 1 to 3As shown, the camera module 100 may include: a housing 7, a camera 3, a first component 2, and the above-mentioned adapter circuit assembly. The housing 7 may have a cavity, the camera 3 may be disposed in the cavity of the housing 7, the first component 2 may be disposed on the surface of the housing 7 for facilitating electrical connection with an external structure. The adapter circuit assembly may be disposed in the cavity, the first rigid circuit board 1 of the adapter circuit assembly may be electrically connected to the first component 2, and the second rigid circuit board 4 is mounted on the camera 3. The camera module 100 may be detachably mounted on an electronic device such as glasses. The camera module 100 may include a camera 3 for image acquisition.
[0048] The camera module 100 may include a housing 7 and a camera 3 disposed in the housing 7. In some scenarios, the camera module 100 may be plugged into a slot 2061 of glasses adapted thereto, such that the glasses can be communicatively connected to the camera module 10, and the glasses can control the camera module to implement functions such as image acquisition, gesture recognition, and object recognition. When the camera 3 is removed, it does not affect the AR or VR experience of the glasses.
[0049] In some alternative embodiments, the camera 3 may include an electrical connection board 33, and the electrical connection board 33 may be parallel to the center line of the camera 3. The electrical connection board 33 is located on one side of the second rigid circuit board 4 in the thickness direction, and the electrical connection board 33 is disposed opposite to the first rigid circuit board 1. And the distance between the electrical connection board 33 and the first rigid circuit board 1 is less than a preset distance, so that the electrical connection board 33 can be disposed close to the first rigid circuit board 1.
[0050] The electrical connection board 33 and the first rigid circuit board 1 are sequentially disposed in the thickness direction. The electrical connection board 33 may also have a small spacing from the first rigid circuit board 1 and the two are electrically connected. As an example, the spacing between the electrical connection board 33 and the first rigid circuit board 1 may also be zero, that is, the electrical connection board 33 may be directly attached to the first rigid circuit board 1 and the electrical connection board 33 and the first rigid circuit board 1 are electrically connected. Through the relative position settings of the electrical connection board 33, the first rigid circuit board 1, and the second rigid circuit board 4 of the camera 3 above, the space is fully utilized, and the overall structure of the camera module 100 can be made compact and the layout structure can be reasonable.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, the camera 3 has a base 31 and a lens barrel 32, and the lens barrel 32 is vertically connected to the base 31, and the lens barrel 32 is arranged through the notch portion 41 of the second rigid circuit board 4. In other words, the second rigid circuit board 4 can be arranged to extend along the circumference of the camera lens barrel 32 close to the base 31. The second rigid circuit board 4 is adaptively designed according to the structural characteristics of the camera 3, which ensures that the second rigid circuit board 4 extends to a sufficient length or area without interfering with the lens barrel 32. The second rigid circuit board 4 is roughly "C"-shaped, occupies a small space, and the inner side can be used for the lens barrel 32 to pass through. The matching structure of the adapter circuit assembly and the camera 3 is relatively compact and occupies a small space.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera module 100 may further include foam 8. The foam 8 may be located in the cavity of the housing 7, and the foam 8 is compressed and arranged between the base 31 and the inner wall of the housing 7, so that the camera 3 is stably located in the housing 7 and is not easy to shake.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the camera module 100 may further include a light guide column 9, the housing 7 has a lamp hole 712 connected to the cavity, the light guide column 9 extends to the lamp hole 712, and the projection of the light guide column 9 to the second rigid circuit board 4 covers the corresponding indicator light 43 on the second rigid circuit board 4. When the indicator light 43 is lit, the light guide column 9 can conduct light to form a uniform bright area.
[0054] Optionally, the housing 7 has a camera hole 711 connected to the cavity, the lamp hole 712 is located around the camera hole 711, and the lens barrel 32 of the camera 3 passes through the camera hole 711. The camera module 100 may also include a sealing ring 1002, which may be sleeved on the lens barrel 32 and located between the camera hole 711 and the lens barrel 32, so as to seal the gap between the lens barrel 32 and the camera hole 711 to prevent water and dust impurities from entering.
[0055] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 7 may include a camera housing portion 71 and a plug housing portion 72, the camera housing portion 71 is connected to one end of the plug housing portion 72, the lens barrel 32 of the camera 3 is arranged on the camera housing portion 71, and the first element 2 is arranged on the side of the plug housing portion 72 away from the camera housing portion 71. The camera housing portion 71 and the plug housing portion 72 may be arranged in sequence along the height direction of the frame 200 of the glasses. When the plug housing portion 72 is plugged into the frame 200 of the glasses, the camera housing portion 7 is located outside the frame 200, the frame 200 will not block the camera housing portion 7, and external light can smoothly enter the lens barrel 32 of the camera 3.
[0056] Optionally, the camera housing portion 71 and the plug-in housing portion 72 of the camera module 100 may be an integral part, and the camera housing portion 71 and the plug-in housing portion 72 may be an integrally formed plastic injection molded part. In the direction along the center line of the lens barrel, the housing 7 may include two half-housings (or a front shell and a rear cover) arranged in sequence, and the two half-housings are integrally formed parts respectively. A part of the structure of the camera housing portion 71 is located in one of the half-housings, and another part of the structure of the camera housing portion 71 is located in the other half-housing. A part of the structure of the plug-in housing portion 72 is located in one of the half-housings, and another part of the structure of the plug-in housing portion 72 is located in the other half-housing. The two half-housings are snapped together to form the complete housing 7.
[0057] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the camera housing portion 71 is formed with a camera cavity and a camera hole 711 communicating with the camera cavity. The lens barrel 32 of the camera 3 extends toward the camera hole 711. The camera module 100 further includes a camera lens 10, and the camera lens 10 may be connected to the camera housing portion 71 and cover the camera hole 711 to protect the internal camera 3. The camera lens 10 may be bonded to the camera housing portion 71 by an adhesive 1001. External light is incident on the camera 3 through the camera lens 10, enabling the camera 3 to capture an image of the external environment.
[0058] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 11 shown, a mating portion 721 is provided on the plug-in housing portion 72. The mating portion 721 is used for snap-fitting with the slot 2061 to be plugged when the plug-in housing portion 72 is plugged, so that the plug-in housing portion 72 is not easily detached from the slot 2061. A clamping portion 207 may be provided on the inner wall of the slot 2061, and the clamping portion 207 may be snap-fitted with the mating portion 721, so that the plug-in housing portion 72 can be stably plugged into the slot 2061 and is not easily disengaged, improving the stability of the assembly structure. When it is necessary to disassemble the plug-in housing portion 72, sufficient force needs to be applied to the plug-in housing portion 72 to make the plug-in interface portion unclamp and be pulled out from the slot 2061. The plug-in housing portion 72 can be conveniently plugged and unplugged with the slot 2061. The above-mentioned mating portion 721 and clamping portion 207 may have various structures to achieve the snap-fitting of the plug-in housing portion and the slot.
[0059] In some alternative implementation schemes, the housing 7 of the camera module 100 may include two mating portions 721 arranged oppositely. Optionally, the two mating portions 721 are respectively located on opposite sides of the plug-in housing portion 72 and can be respectively in limit fit with opposite sides of the inner wall of the slot 2061, improving the stability of the assembly structure of the camera module 100. And the two mating portions 721 are symmetrically arranged, so that the camera module 100 is symmetrically stressed on both sides. After the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061, it can be in a proper posture and is not easily skewed.
[0060] Generally, based on the solution provided by the present disclosure, the two states of the smart glasses with and without the camera module installed can respectively correspond to the smart glasses with the camera module and the smart glasses without the camera module. Users can choose whether to assemble the camera module 100 according to their needs to experience two different products.
[0061] Optionally, on the housing 7, the camera hole 711, each mating part 721, and the first connector can be respectively located on the surfaces of different sides of the housing 7, thereby making full use of the structure of the housing 7 and being beneficial to reducing the volume of the housing 7. The two mating parts 721 are respectively located on two opposite surfaces of the plug-in housing part 72, and the first connector is located on the surface at the top of the plug-in housing part 72. The overall structure of the camera module 100 is compact and the layout structure is reasonable.
[0062] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, a recessed part can be provided on the surface of the housing 7, and the first connector is embedded in the recessed part. The setting of the recessed part enables the first connector to sink into the recessed part, thereby playing a role in protecting the first connector. At the same time, the setting of the recessed part defines the installation position of the first connector, facilitates the quick assembly of the first connector, and also improves the assembly efficiency of the first connector.
[0063] Figure 4 shows a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 5 shows an exploded view of the glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the glasses provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. The glasses can include a spectacle frame 200, and a slot 2061 is provided on the spectacle frame 200 and extends along the height direction of the spectacle frame 200. The slot 2061 is used for detachably connecting the above-mentioned camera module 100. In a state where the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061, the camera module 100 can be connected to the circuit of the glasses.
[0064] The height direction of the above-mentioned spectacle frame 200 can be understood as Figure 4 the direction indicated by the arrow H in. The above-mentioned slot 2061 is used for detachably connecting the above-mentioned camera module 100. The camera module 100 can be inserted into the slot 2061 along the height direction of the spectacle frame 200, and the camera module 100 can also be pulled out of the slot 2061 along the height direction of the spectacle frame 200. In a state where the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061, the mating part 721 is in snap-fit with the snap-fit part 207 in the slot 2061, and the camera module 100 can be electrically connected to the internal circuit of the glasses.
[0065] In some optional embodiments, the glasses provided by the present disclosure may be glasses with temples 300, and the temples 300 are connected to the frame 200. The glasses provided by the present disclosure may also be headband glasses without temples 300. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the type of glasses.
[0066] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first element 2 in the camera module 100 can be a first connector. Accordingly, the glasses can also include a second connector 400, and the second connector 400 is arranged in the slot 2061. When the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061, the first connector and the second connector 400 are electrically connected.
[0067] When the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061 on the frame 200, the first connector and the second connector 400 can be electrically connected, achieving effective assembly of the camera module 100. The camera module 100 can be matched with the glasses, expanding the functions of the glasses, so that the glasses can achieve functions such as image acquisition, gesture recognition, and object recognition. When the camera module 100 and the smart glasses are snap-fitted, the camera module 100 can be stably assembled in the slot 2061 and will not easily fall out of the slot 2061.
[0068] Figure 7 The figure shows the matching structure of the camera module and the second connector 400 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second connector 400 in the glasses provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The first element 2, that is, the first connector can be a micro-needle connector. The first connector can include a fixed bracket and a micro-needle, and the micro-needle is arranged on the fixed bracket. The second connector 400 can be a structure that cooperates with the micro-needle connector. As an example, the first connector and the second connector 400 can be any one of a BTB connector (or, board-to-board connector) and a pogo pin connector (or, spring pin connector).
[0069] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a circuit board may be provided on the frame 200 or the temple 300 of the glasses. Taking the circuit board provided on the frame 200 as an example, the circuit board may be fixed on one side of the frame 200, and the circuit board may be connected to the second connector 400 in various ways. As an example, the circuit board may be electrically connected to the second connector 400 via an external transfer FPC 700. Optionally, a main board 500 may be provided in the frame 200 of the glasses, the main board 500 having a controller, and the second connector 400 may be connected to the main board 500 via an external transfer FPC 700.
[0070] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the second connector 400 may include a sheet body and a plurality of elastic contacts disposed on the sheet body. In a state where the plugging housing portion 72 is inserted into the slot 2061, each micro-needle of the first connector elastically contacts the elastic contacts on the sheet body, so that the camera module 100 is connected to the glasses circuit through the second connector 400, and the glasses can normally use the camera module 100.
[0071] In some alternative embodiments, various different structures may be adopted for the engagement between the engaging portion 721 and the engaging portion 207. As an example, the engaging portion 721 may include a claw disposed on the plugging housing portion 72, and the engaging portion 207 includes a slot disposed on the inner wall of the slot 2061. In a state where the plugging housing portion 72 of the camera module 100 is inserted into the slot 2061, the claw is engaged in the slot.
[0072] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the spectacle frame 200 of the glasses may include two frame bodies 201 and a connecting frame 202. The two frame bodies 201 are connected by the connecting frame 202. The slot 2061 is disposed on the connecting frame 202, and the plugging housing portion 72 of the camera module 100 is plugged into the slot 2061.
[0073] Optionally, the above-mentioned frame body 201 may be a lens mounting ring. The connecting frame 202 is located at the middle portion of the spectacle frame 200 in the width direction. Disposing the slot 2061 on the connecting frame 202 can facilitate the center of gravity of the entire glasses to be centered. The volume at the connecting frame 202 is large, which is more conducive to setting the slot 2061 to accommodate the camera module 100. The above-mentioned width direction may be understood as the direction in which the two frame bodies 201 are arranged, such as Figure 4 the direction indicated by the arrow W in the figure. The connecting frame 202 and the frame body 201 may be an integral structure, and the connecting member and the frame body 201 may also be separate parts. The connecting frame 202 and the frame body 201 may be connected by means of clamping, fastener 600, bonding or welding, and there is no unique limitation here.
[0074] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, a nose avoiding area 203 is formed between the connecting frame 202 and the two frame bodies 201. The camera housing portion 71 of the camera module 100 extends along the height direction of the spectacle frame 200 to the nose avoiding area 203. The slot 2061 may have an insertion opening disposed on the connecting frame 202, and the insertion opening is located on one side of the nose avoiding area 203. After the user wears the glasses, the insertion opening faces the user's nose. A camera 3 is disposed in the camera housing portion 71 of the camera module 100. The camera housing portion 71 is exposed in the nose avoiding area 203, and the camera 3 is exposed outside the spectacle frame 200 of the glasses. External light can directly enter the camera hole 711 on the camera housing portion 71, and there is no need to provide an avoidance hole for avoiding the camera 3 on the spectacle frame 200, so that the structural strength of the spectacle frame 200 is maintained well.
[0075] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 5 shown, the spectacle frame 200 may include a front spectacle shell 204, a rear spectacle shell 205, and a crossbar 206. The front spectacle shell 204 and the rear spectacle shell 205 are snapped together, a cavity is formed between the front spectacle shell 204 and the rear spectacle shell 205, the crossbar 206 is located in the cavity, and the crossbar 206 is connected to at least one of the front spectacle shell 204 and the rear spectacle shell 205, so as to fix the crossbar 206 in the cavity. A slot 2061 is formed between any one or any two adjacent ones of the front spectacle shell 204, the rear spectacle shell 205, and the crossbar 206. The above-mentioned crossbar 206 can fix structures in the smart glasses such as electrical components and optical engines, and the electrical components can assist the second connector 400 to provide electrical signals for the camera module 100.
[0076] Optionally, the above-mentioned slot 2061 may be provided on the crossbar 206. Compared with the front spectacle shell 204 and the rear spectacle shell 205 which are usually thin-shell structures, the crossbar 206 has high structural strength and large thickness, so the slot 2061 can be provided on the crossbar 206.
[0077] Figure 9 The bottom view of the partial structure of the spectacle is shown. Figure 10 The bottom view of the spectacle frame of the spectacle is shown. In some alternative embodiments, the rear spectacle shell 205 may be provided with an avoidance opening 2051 corresponding to the slot 2061. So that the insertion opening of the slot 2061 can be exposed outside the lower edge of the spectacle frame 200, which is convenient for the assembly and disassembly of the camera module 100. It can be understood that when there is interference and occlusion of the slot 2061 on the front spectacle shell 204 and the crossbar 206, an avoidance opening 2051 may also be provided on the front spectacle shell 204, and the avoidance openings 2051 of the front spectacle shell 204 and the rear spectacle shell 205 are communicated with each other to jointly avoid the slot 2061.
[0078] Figure 11 The partial structural schematic diagram of the crossbar in the spectacle provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, Figure 12 Another partial structural schematic diagram of the crossbar in the spectacle provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; Figure 13 The state diagram of the camera module installed in the slot of the spectacle provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In some alternative embodiments, the spectacle may include an elastic member 2071 and a sphere 2072. Two ends of the elastic member 2071 can respectively abut against the crossbar 206 and the sphere 2072. In the state where the plug-in shell portion 72 of the camera module 100 is plugged into the slot 2061, part of the sphere 2072 is embedded in the mating portion 721 on the plug-in shell portion 72.
[0079] Compared with the clamping and mating structure of the jaw and the slot, the clamping and mating structure between the sphere 2072 and the mating part 721 of the recess is more stable. The mating part 721 may include a groove provided on the surface of the plug-in housing part 72. The inner surface of the groove is a smooth arc surface, and part of the surface matches the surface of the sphere 2072. When the sphere 2072 is embedded in the groove, under the action of the elastic member 2071, the sphere 2072 will automatically adjust its position and move to the center position of the groove, which has the function of automatic centering. The sphere 2072 and the groove both have smooth surfaces, making the plugging operation of the plug-in housing part 72 smoother, with a better operating feel and a longer service life.
[0080] In some alternative embodiments, the glasses include a mounting frame 2073. An insert block 20731 is provided on the mounting frame 2073, and the elastic member 2071 and the sphere 2072 are provided on the insert block 20731. When the mounting frame 2073 is mounted on the cross beam 206, the two insert blocks 20731 are located on both sides of the slot 2061, and the spheres 2072 on the two insert blocks 20731 respectively partially extend into the slot 2061. During the process of plugging the plug-in housing part 72 into the slot 2061, the plug-in housing part 72 will push the two spheres 2072 away from the slot 2061, and at this time the elastic member 2071 is further compressed. When the plug-in housing part 72 is plugged in place, the elastic member 2071 elastically releases and pushes the sphere 2072 to be embedded in the groove on the surface of the plug-in housing part 72, thereby realizing the clamping and fixing of the plug-in housing part 72.
[0081] Optionally, the mounting frame 2073 can be fixed to the cross beam 206 through fasteners 600. For example, connection holes 42 are provided at the four corners of the mounting frame 2073, and the screw rods of the four screws respectively pass through the corresponding connection holes 42 and are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded grooves on the cross beam 206, and the caps of the screws are limited on the mounting frame 2073.
[0082] Optionally, two embedding grooves 2062 are provided on the cross beam 206. The two embedding grooves 2062 are respectively arranged on both sides of the slot 2061, and the two embedding grooves 2062 are respectively communicated with the slot 2061, providing a space for accommodating the insert block 20731 and making the insert block 20731 located on both sides of the slot 2061. The mounting frame 2073 is connected to the cross beam 206 and covers the slot 2061. The insert block 20731 is embedded in the embedding groove 2062. The mounting frame 2073 has a through hole for avoiding the slot 2061, which can avoid the plug-in housing part 72, so that the plug-in housing part 72 can pass through the through hole and be smoothly connected to the slot 2061.
[0083] The insert block 20731 is formed with a receiving cavity and a ball hole 207311 that communicates the receiving cavity with the slot 2061. The sphere 2072 can be disposed in the receiving cavity. The elastic member 2071 is at least partially located in the receiving cavity. The elastic member 2071 abuts against the sphere 2072, so that a part of the sphere 2072 extends out of the ball hole 207311, and the sphere 2072 will not completely disengage from the ball hole 207311 and enter the slot 2061. The elastic member 2071 can be a spring, and its two ends respectively abut against the sphere 2072 and a side wall of the insertion groove 2062.
