Detailed implementation manners

[0019] Referring to the attached drawings. The VR wearable device includes a frame bracket 100 and a temple bracket 200.

[0020] The rotating shaft mechanism of the VR wearable device provided by the present utility model includes a shaft 3, a first cam 1, a second cam 2, and an elastic element 4. The elastic element 4, the first cam 1, and the second cam 2 are all sleeved on the shaft 3. Among them, the second cam 2 is synchronous with the shaft 3 in the rotation direction and can slide axially relative to the shaft 3. The first cam 1 and the shaft 3 can rotate relative to each other, and the first cam 1 and the second cam 2 are pressed and fitted by the elastic element 4; the first cam 1 is synchronous with the frame bracket in the rotation direction, and the shaft 3 is synchronous with the temple bracket in the rotation direction;

[0021] There is a control cooperation between the first cam 1 and the second cam 2 from the closing angle to the first opening angle, and there is also an opening and rebounding control cooperation after exceeding the first opening angle.

[0022] Such as Figure 4As described above, the first cam 1 provides a groove 11 corresponding to the closing angle, which is the angle at which the temple holder 200 rotates relative to the frame leg 100 until the temples are folded. The first cam also provides a groove 12 corresponding to the first opening angle, which can correspond to the minimum opening angle that is used more frequently, supplemented as the angle after rotating 90° relative to the closing angle. As needed, the size of the first opening angle can also be adjusted. Between the groove 11 and the groove 12 of the first cam, there are gentle uphill and downhill slopes 13, so that the rotation operation between the closing angle and the first opening angle is relatively easy. The first cam 1 provides a relatively steep uphill slope 14 corresponding to the opening and rebound control cooperation, and this uphill slope 14 can be the rear groove wall of the groove 12 with a certain slope but steeper than the uphill and downhill slopes 13. The second cam 2 is provided with a bump 21 that cooperates with the cam surface of the first cam 1 including the above features. When the temple is pulled beyond the first opening angle and worn on the human head and then released, the temple (temple holder 1) will rebound under the control of the uphill slope 14 to the wearing position where the temple clamps the human head. For this opening and rebound control cooperation, a limiting structure for the maximum opening angle can be set to prevent over-positioning, and this limiting structure can be a stop 16 at the top of the uphill slope 14 on the first cam 1. This maximum angle can be about 105°, or adjusted as needed. In addition, for the cam surface of the first cam 1, if needed, a groove can also be added between the groove 11 and the groove 12.

[0023] Before the closing angle, the first cam 1 has a stop that blocks further relative rotation in the closing direction, and this stop can be a steep slope 15 that serves as the front groove wall of the groove 11, and the bump 21 cooperates with the steep slope 15 for stopping.

[0024] The elastic element 4 is a helical spring, whose diameter is smaller than the outer diameters of the first cam 1 and the second cam 2. The first cam 1 is located at the first end of the shaft 3, and the helical spring presses the second cam 2 to be close to the first end of the shaft 1. Thus, on this side of the helical spring, there can be more space for wire passing.

[0025] The frame holder 100 is provided with an axial through hole 101 for the shaft 3 to pass through. The second cam 2 is located in the axial through hole 101 and is synchronized with the shaft 3 in the rotational direction through a flat position fit and can slide axially relative to the shaft 3. The first cam 1 is connected to the frame holder 100 through a connecting structure. In this embodiment, the following method can be adopted to have a more compact structure and facilitate reducing the size of the rotating shaft mechanism:

[0026] The temple bracket 200 is provided with a first-end connecting ear 201 and a second-end connecting ear 202. The frame bracket 100 is provided with an axial through hole 101, and the part 102 where the axial through hole 101 is provided is clamped between the first-end connecting ear 201 and the second-end connecting ear 202. A counterbore 203 capable of accommodating the first cam 1 is provided on the outer side of the first-end connecting ear 201. The diameter of the connecting hole 204 provided on the first-end connecting ear 201 is larger than that of the connecting hole 205 provided on the second-end connecting ear 202. The second cam 2 is located in the axial through hole, and one end of the second cam 2 is inserted into the connecting hole 204 of the first-end connecting ear 201 to cooperate with the first cam 1. A limiting structure 31 is provided at the first end of the shaft 3. The first cam 1 is axially limited by the limiting structure 31 and the counterbore 203 of the first-end connecting ear 201, and the first cam 1 is synchronized with the frame bracket 100 in the rotational direction through flat position fitting; the second cam is synchronized with the shaft 3 in the rotational direction through flat position fitting and can slide axially relative to the shaft 3. The second end of the shaft 3 passes through the connecting hole 205 of the second-end connecting ear 202 and is connected with a snap ring 5 to axially position the shaft 3. The shaft 3 and the connecting hole 205 of the second-end connecting ear 202 are in flat position fitting. A counterbore 206 is provided on the outer side of the second-end connecting ear 202 to accommodate the second end of the shaft 3 and the snap ring 5. Decorative covers 207 and 208 are provided at the orifices of the counterbore 203 of the first-end connecting ear 201 and the counterbore 206 of the second-end connecting ear 202.
