The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0035] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0036] In the description of this application, reference to the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a plug-in temple 301 replacement device, which includes a folding assembly 100 and a locking assembly 400. Among them, the folding assembly 100 belongs to the connecting part 105 between the frame and the temple 301. While realizing the rotation function, the folding assembly 100 can also realize a detachable connection with the frame. During the use of smart glasses, the smart temple 301 needs to be disassembled and charged, and replaced by a universal temple 301. The frames of some smart glasses do not have a rotating mechanism for folding the temple 301, which makes it impossible to fold the replaced universal temple 301. The folding assembly 100 of the present application can meet the folding requirement of the temple 301 after being installed in the frame.

[0038] Furthermore, the folding assembly 100 can be adapted to temples 301 of various materials and sizes, including plate temples 301 and metal temples 301, to meet the user's demand for lightweight and compact temples 301.

[0039] In addition, after the universal temple 301 is inserted into the frame through the folding assembly 100, the locking assembly 400 ensures the continuous connection between the temple 301 and the frame in a snap-fit ​​manner, preventing the temple 301 from accidentally detaching from the frame.

[0040] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the folding assembly 100 includes a first hinge 101, a second hinge 102 and a connecting component 105. The first hinge 101 faces the frame and is used to achieve a detachable connection with the frame; the second hinge 102 faces the temple 301 and is used to connect thereto.

[0041] The first hinge 101 is detachably connected to the frame to facilitate replacement of the temple 301. The second hinge 102 is detachably connected to the temple 301 or fixedly connected.

[0042] Furthermore, the first hinge 101 and the second hinge 102 are rotatably connected, forming a revolving pair. Since the folding assembly 100 is located between the frame and the temple 301, the presence of the revolving pair in the folding assembly 100 allows the temple 301 to form an indirect revolving connection with the frame, ensuring that the temple 301 can be folded toward the frame, reducing the space occupied by the glasses and facilitating storage.

[0043] At the same time, the first hinge 101 and the frame are detachably connected by plugging. Specifically, the connecting component 105 is connected to the frame, and the first hinge 101 plugs into the connecting component 105. Specifically, the connecting component 105 is compatible with various types of frames, including in-mold injection frames, plate frames, and metal frames, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0044] In some examples, the first hinge 101 is provided with a hollow first plugging structure 106, into which the connecting component 105 is inserted. The locking assembly 400 passes through the side wall of the first hinge 101 and extends into the interior of the first plugging structure 106. The locking assembly 400 engages with the connecting component 105 within the first plugging structure 106, ensuring a stable connection between the first hinge 101 and the connecting component 105, and thus ensuring a stable connection between the frame and the temple 301.

[0045] In some examples, the locking assembly 400 includes a support member 401 and an elastic member. The support member 401 is formed into a sheet-like structure. The elastic member is connected to the surface of the support member 401, and multiple elastic members can be provided. The support member 401 is attached to the outer wall of the first hinge 101 to ensure that the outer wall of the first hinge 101 is flat and prevent the elastic member from being exposed outside the first hinge 101.

[0046] The elastic component passes through the first hinge 101 and reaches the interior of the first plug-in structure 106. The elastic component includes a clamping member 402, an elastic member, and a sleeve. The sleeve is disposed on the surface of the support member 401. The elastic member is disposed within the sleeve and is connected to the clamping member 402 at its end, allowing a certain amount of expansion and contraction of the clamping member 402 on the sleeve. Specifically, the clamping member 402 is a marble.

[0047] In some examples, the connecting component 105 is provided with a slot 107, the position of which corresponds to the position of the engaging component 402. When the connecting component 105 is not plugged in, the engaging component 402 contacts the flat surface of the connecting component 105, and the elastic component is compressed relatively greatly. When the connecting component 105 is plugged in, the engaging component 402 is automatically engaged with the slot 107 under the driving action of the elastic component, thereby forming a locking connection between the connecting component 105 and the first hinge 101. At this time, the elastic component is compressed relatively little.

[0048] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first hinge 101 is provided with a hollow rotation space 103. Two opposite sides of the rotation space 103 are provided with protruding structures for supporting the second hinge 102, and a rotating shaft 104 is connected between the protruding structures.

[0049] Furthermore, when the second hinge 102 is inserted into the rotation space 103, the raised structures on either side of the rotation space 103 clamp the second hinge 102. Simultaneously, the rotational shaft 104 passes through the second hinge 102, allowing the second hinge 102 to rotate about the rotational shaft 104, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the first hinge 101 and the second hinge 102. Specifically, the rotational shaft 104 is locked to the first hinge 101 via a fastener, preventing the rotational shaft 104 from accidentally detaching from the first hinge 101 and causing the two to separate.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second hinge 102 includes a transition section 201 and an insertion section 202 that are connected to each other. The transition section 201 and the insertion section 202 are respectively located at two ends of the second hinge 102 .

[0051] When the adapter section 201 is inserted into the rotation space 103, the exact position where the rotation axis 104 passes through the first hinge 101 is on the adapter section 201. The plug section 202 is used to insert the temple 301 to ensure a stable connection between the folding assembly 100 and the temple 301.

[0052] Specifically, because the folding assembly 100 needs to be compatible with temples 301 of various materials and sizes, the connecting section 202 is also available in a variety of forms, allowing users to customize the design based on their preferences. Obviously, when the connecting section 202 is compatible with temples 301 made of plastic or sheet material, it must be widened and thickened; whereas when compatible with temples 301 made of metal, it can be extremely narrow and thin, with a width and thickness of less than 1.0 mm.

[0053] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the transition section 201 rotates within the rotation space 103, its sidewalls also lie within the rotation space 103. Specifically, the sidewalls of the transition section 201 include an arcuate portion 2011 and a stopper portion 2012, which are tightly connected and form a natural transition. Where the stopper portion 2012 connects to the arcuate portion 2011, the plane of the stopper portion 2012 is nearly tangent to the curved surface of the arcuate portion 2011, ensuring a smooth connection.

[0054] Furthermore, the stopper 2012 is located adjacent to the connecting section 202. Specifically, the stopper 2012 is located midway between the arcuate portion 2011 and the connecting section 202. The rotation space 103 is provided with an arcuate inner wall that fits perfectly with the arcuate portion 2011. Within a certain range, the arcuate inner wall and the arcuate portion 2011 can form a sliding contact without hindering the smooth rotation of the second hinge 102.

[0055] Furthermore, the limiting portion 2012 serves to limit the rotational range of the second hinge 102. As long as the limiting portion 2012 is away from the inner wall of the rotational space 103, the arcuate portion 2011 will not hinder the second hinge 102 from rotating. This means that the second hinge 102 is within a predetermined rotational range. However, if the limiting portion 2012 contacts the inner wall of the rotational space 103, it will prevent the second hinge 102 from rotating further, thereby establishing a rotational limit.

[0056] Clearly, when the second hinge 102 is at its extreme rotational position, the angle of the connecting section 202 precisely reflects the angle required for comfortable wearing of the glasses. Allowing the second hinge 102 to continue rotating would only result in an excessively large angle of the temple 301, compromising wearer stability. At this point, the stopper 2012 effectively prevents potential problems caused by excessive rotation of the second hinge 102.

[0057] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the temples 301 are included. Specifically, the temples 301 can be made of various types such as plastic, plate, and metal.

[0058] Furthermore, it also includes a second plug-in structure 302 disposed on the temple 301. Specifically, the second plug-in structure 302 is a slot located at the end of the temple 301. The slot is dimensionally compatible with the plug-in section 202, ensuring that the plug-in section 202 can be smoothly inserted into the second plug-in structure 302, thus completing the connection between the folding assembly 100 and the temple 301.

[0059] In some examples, the plug-in section 202 is provided with a connecting hole 203, and the temple 301 is provided with a locking hole that communicates with the second plug-in structure 302. When the plug-in section 202 is inserted into the second plug-in structure 302, the connecting hole 203 and the locking hole are relatively connected, and the temple 301 is locked to the second hinge 102 through the connecting hole 203 and the locking hole.

[0060] In addition, there are multiple connecting holes 203 arranged side by side, with a certain gap between adjacent connecting holes 203. Users can select specific connecting holes 203 to connect with the locking holes according to their needs, thereby adjusting the placement angle of the temple 301 to ensure wearing comfort.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the plastic temple 301 is further provided with a screw which passes through the locking hole and is connected to the connecting hole 203 , thereby forming a detachable connection between the temple 301 and the second hinge 102 .

[0062] In the second embodiment, rivets are used for the temple 301 made of sheet material or metal. Locking holes are located on both sides of the second plug-in structure 302. The rivet passes through the locking hole on one side, the connecting hole 203, and the locking hole on the other side in sequence, thus passing through the plug-in section 202 and the temple 301, thus achieving a detachable riveted connection between the temple 301 and the second hinge 102.

[0063] In the third embodiment, for a metal temple 301, the connecting section 202 is welded to the temple 301. This fixed connection securely locks the temple 301 to the second hinge 102. Specifically, the connecting section 202 and the second connecting structure 302 can coexist with welding, or welding can be used as a standalone alternative.

[0064] The glasses provided in an embodiment of the present application include the aforementioned plug-in temple 301 replacement device. In the actual implementation process, after the smart temple 301 is disassembled, the user can select the temple 301 of the material of their choice according to their own needs, and connect it to the folding assembly 100 through the second plug-in structure 302 and the plug-in section 202, thereby meeting the user's personalized needs for the material of the temple 301. At the same time, one end of the connecting component 105 is connected to the frame, and the other end is inserted into the first plug-in structure 106, thus completing the entire connection process between the folding assembly 100 and the frame. The folding assembly 100 can ensure that the folding action between the frame and the temple 301 is smooth, thereby greatly improving the convenience of use. In addition, the provision of the locking assembly 400 also ensures the stability of the connection between the frame and the temple 301, thereby avoiding accidental separation of the two.
