It should be understood that the directions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to directions during normal use. The directions "left" and "right" refer to the left-right directions shown in the corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left-right directions during normal use.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising that element. "A plurality" means greater than or equal to two.

[0035] This embodiment of the present application provides a bracket, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a base 10, a support rod assembly 20, a first flexible structure 30 and a head-mounted assembly 40.

[0036] It should be noted that flexibility refers to the property of being able to produce deformations such as stretching, compression, bending and torsion without breaking under the action of external forces.

[0037] It should be noted that the first flexible structure 30 can be a flexible rope or a flexible strip.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 The support rod assembly 20 includes a first end 20a and a second end 20b, and the first end 20a of the support rod assembly 20 is connected to the base 10. It can be understood that the support rod assembly 20 can transfer the load it receives to the base 10, and the base 10 can play the role of supporting the support rod assembly 20.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The head-mounted assembly 40 has a receiving area 40a for receiving the head. It is understandable that the shape of the receiving area 40a conforms to the shape of the human head, making it easier for the user to wear the head-mounted assembly 40 and improving the user's experience.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first flexible structure 30 connects the head-mounted assembly 40 and the second end 20b of the support rod assembly 20. The head-mounted assembly 40 includes a first connecting portion 40b, and the first connecting portion 40b is used to be detachably connected to the VR (full name: Virtual Reality) glasses. It can be understood that the first flexible structure 30 can transfer the load on the head-mounted assembly 40 to the support rod assembly 20, and then to the base 10. In this way, when the first connecting portion 40b is connected to the VR glasses, the load of the VR glasses on the user's head and neck can be reduced, and the user's reactions such as head sinking, neck pain, and back tilt after wearing VR glasses for a long time can be reduced.

[0041] In addition, by establishing a connection relationship with the head-mounted assembly 40 through the first flexible structure 30, the flexible characteristics of the first flexible structure 30 are utilized to provide the user with sufficient space to move when wearing the head-mounted assembly 40, without excessively restricting the freedom of the head-mounted assembly 40. This allows the user to not feel constrained by the bracket when wearing VR glasses, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0042] It should be noted that VR glasses is the abbreviation of virtual reality head-mounted display devices, which refers to products that utilize a combination of simulation technology, computer graphics, human-computer interface technology, multimedia technology, sensor technology, network technology and other technologies. It is a new means of human-computer interaction created with the help of computers and the latest sensor technology.

[0043] In the related art, directly establishing a connection with VR glasses through a flexible structure is inconvenient for users to operate and is likely to reduce the service life of the flexible structure.

[0044] The bracket provided in the embodiment of the present application is detachably connected to the VR glasses via the first connecting portion 40b. When the user needs to establish or release the connection between the VR glasses and the bracket, the user only needs to connect or detach the VR glasses to the first connecting portion 40b. This can reduce the user's operating difficulty and improve the user's convenience. In addition, it can reduce the direct contact between the VR glasses and the flexible structure, thereby extending the service life of the flexible structure.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The headband assembly 40 includes a headband 42 for wrapping around the front of the head and a headband 41 for wrapping around the back of the head. Opposite ends of the headband 42 in a first direction are connected to opposite ends of the headband 41 in a first direction to enclose a receiving area 40a. It will be appreciated that when a user wears the headband assembly 40, the headband 42 and the headband 41 can effectively wrap around the user's head, thereby improving the user's wearing experience.

[0046] It should be noted that the first direction refers to Figure 2 The direction indicated by the arrow of the first direction is the width direction of the human head when the user wears the head-mounted assembly 40; the front side of the head refers to the forehead area of ​​the human body, and the back side of the head refers to the back of the head area of ​​the human body.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The headgear 42 has a suspension portion 42a connected to the first flexible structure 30. It is understood that the suspension portion 42a is located on the headgear 42 wrapped around the front of the head. Taking advantage of the fact that the front of the head is higher than the back of the head, the suspension portion 42a is placed close to the center of gravity of the headgear assembly 40. This allows the headgear assembly 40 to maintain a good posture when suspended by the first flexible structure 30, making it easier for the user to wear the headgear assembly 40.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The first connecting portions 40b are disposed at opposite ends of the headband 41 in the first direction. Thus, the VR glasses can establish a detachable connection with the headband 41 via the first connecting portions 40b. The first connecting portions 40b are located on the headband 41, which is wrapped around the back of the head. This allows the first connecting portions 40b to be close to the back of the head, ensuring a reasonable center of gravity distribution after the VR glasses and the head-mounted assembly 40 are connected, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] It should be noted that the specific method for achieving detachable connection between the first connecting portion 40b and the VR glasses is not limited.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The first connecting portion 40b includes a through hole 40b1 extending along a first direction through the headband 41. It is understood that the hook of the VR glasses can be inserted into the through hole 40b1 to establish a connection with the headband 41, and the hook of the VR glasses can be removed from the through hole 40b1 to release the connection with the headband 41, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the VR glasses and the head-mounted assembly 40.

[0051] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The head-mounted assembly 40 includes a fastener 44 and an elastic member 45. The fastener 44 slides with the headband 41. The fastener 44 has an initial position and an avoidance position. In the initial position, the end of the fastener 44 is inserted into the hook of the VR glasses placed in the through hole 40b1 to fix the hook in the through hole 40b1. In the avoidance position, the end of the fastener 44 exits the hook so that the hook can be detached from the head-mounted assembly 40. The elastic member 45 is at least used to apply an elastic force toward the initial position to the fastener 44.

[0052] It will be appreciated that, in the initial position, the fastener 44 is inserted into the hook of the VR glasses, allowing the hook to be stably positioned in the through-hole 40b1, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the VR glasses and the head-mounted assembly 40. In the avoidance position, the fastener 44 is released from the hook, allowing the hook to smoothly exit the through-hole 40b1, facilitating disconnection between the VR glasses and the head-mounted assembly 40. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 45, one end of the fastener 44 tends to move toward the through-hole 40b1, thereby returning the fastener 44 to the initial position under the elastic force.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific structure of the fastener 44 is not limited.

[0054] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The headband 41 has a groove 41b on one side close to the head, and the buckle 44 and the elastic member 45 are arranged in the groove 41b. It can be understood that the groove 41b can make full use of the size of the headband 41 in the thickness direction, improve the space utilization of the headband 41, and make the structure compact.

[0055] Exemplarily, the headband assembly 40 includes a slot cover (not shown) for covering the groove 41b. It is understood that the slot cover can block the groove 41b to reduce the possibility of the groove 41b being exposed to the user's field of view, thereby improving the appearance of the headband assembly 40.

[0056] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The head-mounted assembly 40 includes a force-applying member 46, which is disposed at the end of the latch 44 away from the through-hole 40b1. The end of the force-applying member 46 away from the latch 44 forms a force-applying end 46a. It is understood that the force-applying end 46a can be easily grasped by the user, facilitating the user's application of force to the force-applying member 46 to drive the latch 44 in a direction away from the through-hole 40b1, thereby switching the latch 44 from its initial position to its avoidance position, allowing the VR glasses to be smoothly disconnected from the head-mounted assembly 40.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The head-mounted assembly 40 includes at least one second flexible structure 47. The first connecting portion 40b includes a hook 40b2. The second flexible structure 47 connects the hook 40b2 to the head-mounted component 42. It will be appreciated that the hook 40b2 can be detachably connected to the VR glasses, and the second flexible structure 47 can transfer the load exerted on the hook 40b2 to the head-mounted component 42, and then to the support rod assembly 20, thereby reducing the load exerted by the VR glasses on the user. Furthermore, the hook 40b2 and the second flexible structure 47 cooperate to expand the range of motion of the VR glasses, making it easier for users to adjust the wearing angle of the VR glasses and improving the user experience.

[0058] It should be noted that the specific number of the second flexible structures 47 is not limited. For example, there can be two second flexible structures 47, and the two second flexible structures 47 are located at opposite ends of the head-mounted component 42 along the first direction. In this way, the stability of the VR glasses can be improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The headband 42 is provided with a through slot 42b. The headband assembly 40 includes an adjustment structure 48, which is disposed through the through slot 42b. The second flexible structure 47 is connected to the adjustment structure 48. The adjustment structure 48 can move along the extension direction of the through slot 42b to adjust the position of the hook 40b2. It is understood that when the adjustment structure 48 moves along the extension direction of the through slot 42b, it can drive the second flexible structure 47 and the hook 40b2 connected thereto to move. This facilitates the user to adjust the position of the hook 40b2 by adjusting the position of the adjustment structure 48, thereby facilitating the user to detachably connect the VR glasses to the hook 40b2.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The headband assembly 40 includes a flexible headband 43, which is used to wrap around the top of the head. The ends of the flexible headband 43 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the headband member 41 in the first direction. It can be understood that when the user wears the headband assembly 40, the flexible headband 43 can better wrap the top of the user's head, which can improve the user's comfort when wearing the headband assembly 40.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two ends of the headband flexible band 43 are respectively rotatably connected to the opposite ends of the headband member 41 in the first direction. In this way, it is convenient for the user to rotate the headband flexible band 43 to adjust the position relationship between the headband flexible band 43 and the head, so that the headband flexible band 43 can better wrap the user's head, thereby improving the user's wearing experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the first direction, the end of the headband component 41 is located between the end of the headband flexible belt 43 and the end of the headgear component 42. In this way, the structure of the headgear assembly 40 is compact.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 One of the ends of the headband 41 and the end of the headgear 42 has a protrusion 41a, and the other has a limiting hole 42c. The protrusion 41a is located in the limiting hole 42c, and the two are locked in rotation. The headgear assembly 40 includes a connecting shaft 50, which passes through the limiting hole 42c, the protrusion 41a, and the end of the headband flexible band 43. The end of the headband flexible band 43 can rotate about the connecting shaft 50. It can be understood that the mutual cooperation between the protrusion 41a and the limiting hole 42c allows the connecting shaft 50 to connect the headband 41, the headgear 42, and the flexible headband 43, while also allowing the headband 41 and the headgear 42 to remain relatively stationary and allowing the flexible headband 43 to rotate relative to the headband 41 and / or the headgear 42. This makes the headgear assembly 40 simple in structure and highly reliable.

[0064] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The headband assembly 40 includes a decorative cover 51, which is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 50 to shield the connecting shaft 50. It is understood that the decorative cover 51 can reduce the possibility of the connecting shaft 50 being exposed to the user's field of vision, thereby improving the appearance of the headband assembly 40.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The headband assembly 40 includes a speaker 49, which is disposed at at least one end of the headband 41 along the first direction. Thus, the speaker 49 can increase the volume of the sound produced by the VR glasses, facilitating an immersive experience for the user, thereby enhancing the realism of the VR glasses and improving the user's experience.
