DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a motion capture head-mounted device, comprising:
[0028] The helmet 1 is symmetrically provided with connecting blocks 2 on both sides, and the two connecting blocks 2 are respectively located on both sides of the face opening of the helmet 1;
[0029] A U-shaped bracket 3, with its two ends respectively mounted on the two connecting blocks 2, and the face opening of the helmet 1 facing the inner side of the U-shaped bracket 3;
[0030] The camera assembly 4 is a camera mounted on the U-shaped bracket 3, located on the end of the U-shaped bracket 3 away from the helmet 1, and can capture the user's facial information through the camera assembly 4;
[0031] Two counterweights 5 are respectively provided on the two connecting blocks 2 and are away from the U-shaped bracket 3;
[0032] In summary, combined with Figure 2The connecting block 2 and the U-shaped bracket 3 can be regarded as a lever, and the helmet 1 serves as the support point of the lever, which can apply pressure on the user's head. Compared with the prior art, the present application adds an additional counterweight 5, so that the lever can reach a balance with the camera assembly 4 at its end under the action of the counterweight 5, so that when the device is in use, it is not easy to have a situation where local pressure is large, which is convenient for long-term use.
[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the U-shaped bracket 3 includes a mounting section 301, and the camera assembly 4 is mounted on the mounting section 301. The camera assembly 4 is located on the side of the mounting section 301 facing the face opening of the helmet 1. Both ends of the mounting section 301 are vertically connected to a connecting section 302. The connecting section 302 and the counterweight 5 are slidably matched with the connecting block 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the sliding directions of the two are parallel to each other. The U-shaped bracket 3 can be controlled to extend and drive the counterweight 5 to slide in the opposite direction. In this way, the counterweight 5 can be moved to the corresponding position while adjusting the distance between the camera assembly 4 and the facial opening of the helmet 1. This design can improve the applicability of the device and facilitate users to adjust it according to their own needs. A fixing mechanism 6 is provided on one of the connecting blocks 2. After the adjustment is completed, the connecting section 302 and the counterweight 5 can be fixed by the fixing mechanism 6.
[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, a columnar block 7 is constructed on both sides of the helmet 1, and the connecting block 2 is rotatably mounted on the columnar block 7. The columnar block 7 rotates through the connecting block 2. This design allows the connecting block 2 to drive the U-shaped bracket 3 to rotate. A ratchet gear 8 is installed on one of the columnar blocks 7. The ratchet gear 8 is installed on the side of the columnar block 7. A receiving groove 9 is constructed on the corresponding connecting block 2. A stop block 10 is hinged in the receiving groove 9, and the two are connected by a torsion spring 11. The fixed end of the torsion spring 11 is connected to the receiving groove 9, and the movable end is connected to the stop block 10. The stop block 10 can be driven to extend out of the accommodating groove 9, and the stop block 10 contacts and overlaps with the ratchet gear 8. The stop block 10 and the ratchet gear 8 cooperate with each other to realize one-way rotation, that is, when the U-shaped bracket 3 rotates downward, the stop block 10 can contact the ratchet gear 8, and the connecting block 2 cannot rotate. A toggle plate 12 is provided on the outside of the connecting block 2, and the toggle plate 12 is connected to the hinge axis of the stop block 10. By toggling the toggle plate 12, the stop block 10 can be driven to rotate and retracted into the accommodating groove 9, thereby releasing the restriction on the connecting block 2, thereby driving the U-shaped bracket 3 to rotate downward.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting section 302 includes two rod bodies 3021 connected to the mounting section 301. Two through slots 13 are formed in the connecting block 2, and the two through slots 13 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the cylindrical block 7. The two rod bodies 3021 respectively slide through the two through slots 13. This design can improve the connection stability between the connecting block 2 and the U-shaped bracket 3. The counterweight 5 includes two interconnected counterweight rods 501. The counterweight rods 501 can be iron rods. The U-shaped bracket 3 can be made of carbon fiber material. There is a weight difference between the two. Slide grooves 14 are formed on both sides of the connecting block 2 and are respectively located on the opposite sides of the two through slots 13. The two counterweight rods 501 are respectively slidably engaged with the two slide grooves 14. With the design of two counterweight rods 501, when the U-shaped bracket 3 extends, the backward sliding stroke of the counterweight 5 can be reduced.
[0036] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 6 includes a mounting groove 601 formed in the connecting block 2. The through slot 13 and the slide groove 14 are connected through the mounting groove 601. The extending direction of the mounting groove 601 is perpendicular to the axes of the through slot 13 and the slide groove 14. An insertion block 602 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 601. Corresponding to the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501, card slots 603 for accommodating the insertion block 602 are linearly distributed. The card slots 603 are formed on the sides of the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501 facing the mounting groove 601. A driving portion 604 is provided on the connecting block 2. The insertion block 602 can be driven to slide through the driving portion 604. When the adjustment of the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501 is completed, when the driving portion 604 drives the insertion block 602 to slide in the mounting groove 601 towards the through slot 13 and the slide groove 14, the insertion block 602 can enter the through slot 13 and the slide groove 14 and be inserted into the card slots 603 of the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501, thereby fixing the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501. When the driving portion 604 drives the insertion block 602 away from the through slot 13 and the slide groove 14, the insertion block 602 can disengage from the card slot 603 and retract into the mounting groove 601, thereby releasing the fixation on the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501.
[0037] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the insertion block 602 is frustum-shaped. When the insertion block 602 slides towards the through slot 13 and the slide groove 14, this design facilitates the alignment of the insertion block 602 with the card slot 603.
[0038] As Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the driving part 604 includes a movable slot 6041 formed on the outer side of the connecting block 2. The movable slot 6041 is located on the side of the through slot 13 and the sliding slot 14 away from the mounting slot 601. A push block 6042 is slidably mounted at the opening of the movable slot 6041. The push block 6042 can cover the opening of the movable slot 6041. A connecting rod 6043 is hinged on the push block 6042. An insertion post 6044 is connected to the end of the insertion block 602. There is a spacing between the through slot 13 and the sliding slot 14. The insertion post 6044 slidably penetrates through this spacing. The end of the insertion post 6044 slidably penetrates through the movable slot 6041 and is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 6043. When the push block 6042 slides to one end of the movable slot 6041, the connecting rod 6043 is arranged obliquely in the movable slot 6041. At this time, under the action of the insertion post 6044, the insertion block 602 can slide towards the direction of the through slot 13 and the sliding slot 14, and fix the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501. When the push block 6042 slides to the other end of the movable slot 6041, the connecting rod 6043 is parallel to the insertion post 6044, and thereby pushes the insertion block 602 to slide in the reverse direction.
[0039] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a compression spring 15 is connected in the mounting slot 601. A cylindrical slot 16 for accommodating the compression spring 15 is formed on the insertion block 602. The compression spring 15 is used to provide a thrust force that forces the insertion block 602 to slide towards the direction of the through slot 13 and the sliding slot 14, so that during the use of the device, it is not easy for the insertion block 602 to disengage from the rod body 3021 and the counterweight rod 501. And when the insertion block 602 slides in the reverse direction, the compression spring 15 is compressed, and the cylindrical slot 16 can accommodate the compression spring 15.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application.
