[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an augmented reality glasses 100 includes a temple 110, a frame 120 connected to the temple 110, a lens 130 and a camera 140 mounted on the frame 120, and further includes a shielding assembly 150 mounted on the frame 120 and a driving mechanism 160 for driving the shielding assembly 150 to move, wherein the driving mechanism 160 is in transmission connection with the shielding assembly 150. The driving mechanism 160 is used to drive the shielding assembly 150 to move between a shielding position and a revealing position. When the shielding assembly 150 is located at the shielding position, the camera 140 is shielded. When the shielding assembly 150 is located at the revealing position, the camera 140 is revealed.

[0028] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the temple 110 can be used by a user to wear, the lens 130 is arranged at a central region of the frame 120, and the lens 130 is electrically connected with the camera 140 and used to display the content acquired by the camera 140.

[0029] As a specific example, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the augmented reality glasses 100 comprises two camera 140, two driving mechanism 160 and two shielding assembly 150 symmetrically arranged on the frame 120. Each camera 140 corresponds to a driving mechanism 160 and a shielding assembly 150. Specifically, a corresponding group of camera 140, shielding assembly 150 and driving mechanism 160 is arranged on each side of the frame 120. Of course, the embodiment is only illustrative, and a plurality of corresponding groups of camera 140, shielding assembly 150 and driving mechanism 160 can also be arranged. The number of groups arranged and the position of each group can be selected as needed, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0030] The shielding assembly 150 is mounted on the frame 120. The driving mechanism 160 can be mounted on the frame 120 or the temple 110, and different mounting positions can be selected according to actual application. The embodiment is described by taking the driving mechanism 160 mounted on the frame 120 as an example. The driving mechanism 160 is connected to the shielding assembly 150 and is used to drive the shielding assembly 150 to move between the shielding position and the exposed position. When the shielding assembly 150 is in the shielding position, the shielding assembly 150 can shield the lens of the camera 140 for protection. When the shielding assembly 150 is in the exposed position, the shielding assembly 150 can expose the lens of the camera 140 for image acquisition.

[0031] The augmented reality glasses of the embodiment of the utility model can expose the camera when image acquisition by photographing is needed, without affecting the normal photographing function. The camera can be shielded at all times when photographing is not needed, which can protect the camera and meet the privacy requirements of users.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 120 comprises a first frame 121 and a second frame 122 assembled on the first frame 121, and a receiving space 200 for receiving the driving mechanism 160, the shielding assembly 150 and the camera 140 is arranged between the first frame 121 and the second frame 122.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 As shown, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 are provided with a receiving space 200 for receiving the driving mechanism 160, the shielding assembly 150 and the camera 140, and the driving mechanism 160, the shielding assembly 150 and the camera 140 are arranged in the receiving space 200, so that the frame 120 is more concise as a whole, which can improve the simplicity and storage of the augmented reality glasses and reduce the overall occupancy.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown in

[0035] As a specific example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving mechanism 160 includes a driving motor 161, and the driving motor 161 is provided with an output shaft 162. The shielding piece 152 is a cover plate. The output shaft 162 of the driving motor 161 is fixedly connected with the first end 1511 of the connecting piece 151 to drive the connecting piece 151 to rotate, and the second end 1512 of the connecting piece 151 is fixedly connected with the cover plate to drive the cover plate to flip.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the shielding assembly 150 is in the shielding position, the cover plate is located in front of the camera 140 and can shield the lens of the camera 140 for protection. When it is needed to expose the camera 140, the driving motor 161 works and drives the connecting piece 151 to rotate through the output shaft 162, and the connecting piece 151 drives the cover plate to flip upward until the lens of the camera 140 is exposed, at this time, it is in the exposing position, and the angle of the cover plate flipping upward can be 90 degrees, 180 degrees, etc., as long as the camera 140 can be completely exposed. When it is not needed to expose the camera 140, the driving motor 161 works and drives the connecting piece 151 to rotate reversely through the output shaft 162, and the connecting piece 151 drives the cover plate to flip downward until the lens of the camera 140 is shielded, at this time, it returns to the shielding position.

[0037] As another specific example, the driving mechanism 160 includes a telescopic mechanism, and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism is fixedly connected with the first end 1511 of the connecting piece 151, and the second end 1512 of the connecting piece 151 is fixedly connected with the shielding piece 152. The telescopic mechanism can drive the shielding piece 152 to extend outward through the connecting piece 151 until the camera 140 is completely exposed when it is extended to the exposing position. The telescopic mechanism can also drive the shielding piece 152 to retract from the outside through the connecting piece 151 until the camera 140 is completely shielded when it is retracted to the shielding position.

[0038] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the second frame 122 is provided with a mounting groove 1211 and a through hole 1212 corresponding to the position of the camera 140 on the side away from the first frame 121. The shielding member 152 is arranged in the mounting groove 1211.

[0039] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The control module 111 is electrically connected with the driving mechanism 160, and is configured to control the driving mechanism 160 according to the received control instruction.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The control module 111 is electrically connected with the driving mechanism 160. The control module 111 is configured to receive the control instruction and control the driving mechanism 160 to perform relevant work through the corresponding control instruction.

[0041] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The control module 111 includes a touch module 1111 and a control module 1112 which are electrically connected with each other. The control module 1112 is configured to control the driving mechanism 160 according to the touch state of the touch module 1111, so as to drive the shielding assembly 150 to move between the shielding position and the exposing position. For example, the touch module 1111 can be in the form of a button. Different control instructions are sent to the control module 1112 through different pressing states of the button, and the driving mechanism 160 is further controlled by the control module 1112. For example, the driving mechanism 160 drives the shielding assembly 150 to the exposing position by pressing the button once, and drives the shielding assembly 150 to the shielding position by pressing the button twice continuously and quickly. The shielding assembly can be moved between the exposing position and the shielding position by the control module and the driving mechanism, and the degree of automation is enhanced. As a specific example, the control module can be a button touch motor. Of course, the control module can also be in other forms, as long as it can control the shielding assembly with the driving mechanism. The present embodiment does not make specific limitation on this.

[0042] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the temple 110 is provided with a containing groove 112 for accommodating the control module 1112, and the touch module 1111 is arranged on the outer surface of the temple 110. As a specific example, the containing groove 112 is arranged on the temple 110, the control module 1112 is placed in the containing groove 112, and one end of the touch module 1111 is connected with the control module 1112 in the containing groove 112, and the other end is located on the outer surface of the temple 110 and connected with the temple 110. Such arrangement is convenient for user operation and further improves the integration of the augmented reality glasses.

[0043] In another aspect, the embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of image acquisition equipment, the image acquisition equipment uses the augmented reality glasses described in the foregoing, and the specific structure of the augmented reality glasses can refer to the relevant description in the foregoing, and here is not too much redundant description.

[0044] The image acquisition equipment of the embodiment of the utility model can shield camera when there is no need to take pictures, guarantee the overall smoothness of the overall body, and meet privacy requirements. When taking pictures, the camera is exposed, and normal photographing function is not affected.

[0045] It can be understood that the above implementation is only an exemplary implementation for illustrating the principle of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to this. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
