[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 The charging device 100 includes a support member 110, a circuit board 120, an energy storage device 130, and an electrical connection interface 140. The support member 110 is configured in a semi-encircling shape for wearing around the neck. In this embodiment, the semi-encircling shape is a shape obtained by adding an opening to a closed annular shape to make it non-closed, such as a U-shape or a C-shape. This opening allows the support member 110 to be worn around or removed from the neck. The support member 110 has an internal receiving space R1. The circuit board 120 is disposed in the receiving space R1. An integrated circuit module or a control chip is disposed on the circuit board 120. The energy storage device 130 is disposed in the receiving space R1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 120. The energy storage device 130 is, for example, a battery cell. The electrical connection interface 140 is disposed on the support member 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 120. In some embodiments, the electrical connection interface 140 can be connected to a power supply or smart glasses, enabling the power supply to power the energy storage device 130 or enabling the energy storage device 130 to power the smart glasses. The electrical connection interface 140 can employ a common electrical connection interface, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C interface.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a charging device 100 can connect to smart glasses to supply power to them. The charging device 100 includes a support member 110, which is configured in a semi-encircling shape for wearing around the neck. Therefore, when the smart glasses are worn on the user's face, the charging device 100 can be worn around the user's neck via the support member 110. The charging device 100 is connected to the smart glasses via an electrical connection interface 140, allowing its energy storage device 130 to supply power to the smart glasses. The charging device 100 of this embodiment can supplement power to smart glasses in the wearing state, enabling the smart glasses to maintain a lightweight design while further improving their battery life and enhancing the user experience.

[0033] like Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support member 110 has a contact surface S1 facing the neck when it is placed around the neck. In this embodiment, the support member 110 is configured as a semi-encircling shape, thereby partially enclosing a specific surrounding space, and the contact surface S1 of the support member 110 is the surface facing the surrounding space itself.

[0034] In some embodiments, the charging device 100 further includes a temperature sensor 150, which is disposed on the contact surface S1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 120. The temperature sensor 150 can detect the temperature at the contact surface S1 and obtain induced temperature information. The temperature sensor 150 is electrically connected to the circuit board 120, thereby enabling the induced temperature information to be synchronized to the circuit board 120. This allows the circuit board 120 to manage the charging and discharging of the energy storage device 130 based on the induced temperature information, thereby preventing the energy storage device 130 from overheating and affecting wearing comfort.

[0035] In some embodiments, the circuit board 120 is configured to control the output current level of the energy storage device 130 based on the temperature information sensed by the temperature sensor 150.

[0036] In some embodiments, the energy storage device 130 has multiple output current levels with different output current values. In some embodiments, the circuit board 120 is configured to reduce the output current level of the energy storage device 130 when the temperature information sensed by the temperature sensor 150 reaches a preset temperature threshold, that is, to reduce the output current value, so that the heat generated by the energy storage device 130 is reduced, and the part of the skin in contact with the charging device 100 is less likely to feel obvious heat, thus improving the user experience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the preset temperature threshold is 37°C. In other embodiments, the preset temperature threshold can be other temperature values ​​below 37°C, such as 35°C, so as to control and reduce the output current value before the human body feels obvious heat, thereby reducing heat generation without the need for additional heat dissipation design before the temperature reaches overheating, and improving the user experience.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the support member 110 includes a first receiving portion 111, a second receiving portion 112 disposed opposite to each other, and a connecting portion 113 connecting the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112.

[0039] The energy storage device 130 is at least disposed in the first receiving portion 111, and the temperature sensor 150 is located in the first receiving portion 111.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of energy storage components 130 is at least two, and the at least two energy storage components 130 are respectively disposed in the first receiving part 111 and the second receiving part 112.

[0041] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 150 is located near the energy storage device 130, thereby reflecting the temperature information of the skin-contacting surface S1 near the energy storage device 130, which facilitates accurate management of the charging and discharging of the energy storage device 130.

[0042] In some embodiments, the support member 110 includes a first receiving portion 111, a second receiving portion 112 disposed opposite to each other, and a connecting portion 113 connecting the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112. At least two energy storage components 130 are electrically connected to each other and are respectively disposed within the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112. In this embodiment, there are two energy storage components 130, with one corresponding energy storage component 130 housed in each of the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112. By disposing of energy storage components 130 in the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112 respectively, the weight distribution of the first receiving portion 111 and the second receiving portion 112 is made approximately equal, thereby ensuring the wearing stability of the charging device 100 when worn around the neck.

[0043] like Figure 3 In some embodiments, the circuit board 120 is disposed within the first receiving portion 111, the support member 110 has a contact surface S1 facing the neck when worn around the neck, and the electrical connection interface 140 is located on the surface of the first receiving portion 111 opposite to the contact surface S1. The electrical connection interface 140 can be connected to a power supply or smart glasses, so that the power supply supplies power to the energy storage device 130 or the energy storage device 130 supplies power to the smart glasses. When the charging device 100 is worn around the neck, the contact surface S1 is in contact with the neck skin, and the electrical connection interface 140 is located on the surface of the first receiving portion 111 opposite to the contact surface S1, thus it can be exposed on the outside of the charging device 100, thereby facilitating the electrical connection of the charging device 100 to the smart glasses.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the connection 113 is a flexible structure, allowing the support 110 to deform, facilitating the wearing and removal of the charging device 100, and improving comfort when worn around the neck.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the connector 113 is made of a flexible, hypoallergenic material, such as silicone, memory foam, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), or leather.

[0046] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the connector 113 is an elastic structure, thereby ensuring stability when worn.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, the charging device 100 further includes a button 160 and an indicator light 170. The button 160 is disposed on the support member 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 120. The indicator light 170 is electrically connected to the circuit board 120.

[0048] By designing button 160, users can easily interact with the charging device 100. In one example, button 160 is used to view the battery level of the energy storage device; pressing button 160 displays different indicator states of the indicator light 170, representing different battery levels. In some embodiments, button 160 is used to initiate charging; pressing button 160 starts the energy storage device supplying power to the smart glasses.

[0049] In one example, indicator light 170 can emit multiple colors of light. For instance, when the charge level of the energy storage device is ≤5%, indicator light 170 flashes red three times and then turns off, while circuit board 120 controls the energy storage device to stop discharging; when the charge level of the energy storage device is >5% and ≤20%, indicator light 170 of charging device 100 remains constantly red; when the charge level of the energy storage device is >20% and ≤70%, indicator light 170 of charging device 100 remains constantly yellow; when the charge level of the energy storage device is >70% and ≤100%, indicator light 170 of charging device 100 remains constantly green. The following indication method of indicator light 170 is only an example; according to actual design needs, indicator light 170 can also be set to other indication methods.

[0050] In some embodiments, the indicator light 170 and the button 160 are located in different positions.

[0051] In some embodiments, the indicator light 170 is embedded in the button 160, making the appearance of the charging device 100 more concise and improving the overall appearance of the charging device 100.

The energy storage device 130 is disposed in the accommodating space R1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 120. The energy storage device 130 is, for example, a battery cell. The electrical connection interface 140 is disposed on the support member 110.
