[0002] With the continuous development of technology, AR devices are becoming increasingly mature. AR glasses are wearable devices that integrate virtual information with real-world scenes, providing users with virtual text, images, and videos. The lenses of AR glasses are waveguide lenses, which can blend virtual images with real-world scenes and present them to the user.
[0003] In existing technologies, optical waveguide lenses typically consist of a waveguide sheet and a protective sheet, with the protective sheet stacked on top of the waveguide sheet. A ring-shaped adhesive is applied to the edge region of the waveguide sheet, and the waveguide sheet and protective sheet are bonded and fixed together using this adhesive. This type of optical waveguide lens only has a single layer of protective sheet stacked on the outer side of the waveguide sheet. This provides poor protection for the waveguide sheet, resulting in poor impact resistance and a reduced lifespan for AR glasses. Furthermore, the inner side of the waveguide sheet is easily scratched by wiping and readily accumulates dust and other contaminants, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1
[0032] This embodiment provides an optical waveguide lens, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the waveguide lens can fully protect the waveguide sheet 1, improve the impact resistance of the optical waveguide lens, and prevent the waveguide sheet 1 from being scratched or contaminated, thus avoiding affecting the user's experience.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the optical waveguide lens includes a waveguide sheet 1, a first protective lens 2, and a second protective lens 3. The first protective lens 2 includes a first lens body 21 and a first enclosure 22 protruding circumferentially from the first lens body 21. The first enclosure 22 and the first lens body 21 form a mounting groove 23, in which the waveguide sheet 1 is secured. The second protective lens 3 is stacked on the side of the waveguide sheet 1 facing away from the first protective lens 2, and is bonded and fixed to the first enclosure 22 of the first protective lens 2. Therefore, the waveguide sheet 1 is sandwiched between the first protective lens 2 and the second protective lens 3, and is completely enclosed by both.
[0034] By fitting the waveguide 1 into the mounting groove 23 of the first protective lens 2, the first enclosure 22 can wrap around the edge of the waveguide 1 circumferentially. Furthermore, by bonding and fixing the second protective lens 3 to the first enclosure 22 of the first protective lens 2, both the inner and outer sides of the waveguide 1 can be wrapped, thereby fully protecting the waveguide 1, improving the overall impact resistance of the optical waveguide lens, and preventing the waveguide 1 from being scratched or contaminated, thus avoiding affecting the user's experience.
[0035] It should be noted that when using this optical waveguide lens, one side of the second protective lens 3 is the inner side. Light is transmitted from the first protective lens 2 to the waveguide 1, then to the second protective lens 3, and finally to the user. Furthermore, the waveguide 1, the first protective lens 2, and the second protective lens 3 can be designed in any shape according to actual needs, such as hyperboloid myopia lenses, single-curved myopia lenses, or flat non-prescription lenses, etc., without limitation here.
[0036] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting groove 23 is provided with a stepped structure 231 along the circumferential direction, and the waveguide sheet 1 is mounted on the stepped structure 231. The second protective lens 3 includes a second lens body 31 and a second enclosure 32 protruding circumferentially from the second lens body 31. The second enclosure 32 is bonded and fixed to the first enclosure 22. The second enclosure 32 abuts against the waveguide sheet 1 so that the waveguide sheet 1 and the second lens body 31 are spaced apart. By setting the stepped structure 231, the waveguide plate 1 is placed on the stepped structure 231, and the second enclosure 32 abuts against the other side of the waveguide plate 1. This allows the first lens body 21 and the second lens body 31 to be spaced apart from the waveguide plate 1. On the one hand, the stepped structure 231 and the second enclosure 32 can support the waveguide plate 1, providing a support point for the waveguide plate 1, dispersing external impact force, and improving the impact resistance of the optical waveguide lens. On the other hand, air gaps are created between the first lens body 21 and the waveguide plate 1, and between the second lens body 31 and the waveguide plate 1, which is beneficial for heat dissipation of the waveguide plate 1.
[0037] Optionally, the stepped structure 231 is provided with a first anti-slip structure, and the second enclosure 32 is provided with a second anti-slip structure. The stepped structure 231 makes frictional contact with the waveguide sheet 1 through the first anti-slip structure, and the second enclosure 32 makes frictional contact with the waveguide sheet 1 through the second anti-slip structure. By providing the first and second anti-slip structures, the frictional force between the stepped structure 231 and the waveguide sheet 1, and between the second enclosure 32 and the waveguide sheet 1, can be increased, effectively preventing misalignment caused by excessively smooth surfaces of the waveguide sheet 1 in contact with the stepped structure 231 and the second enclosure 32.
[0038] For example, multiple raised patterns can be provided on the surface of the step structure 231 and the upper surface of the second enclosure 32 as anti-slip structures. The patterns are arranged in a matrix to cover the surface of the step structure 231 and the upper surface of the second enclosure 32. The patterns can be strip-shaped, rhomboid, hemispherical, etc., and appropriate patterns can be selected according to actual needs. There is no limitation here. In this embodiment, a rhomboid pattern is selected as the anti-slip structure.
[0039] In other embodiments, the pattern of the anti-slip structure can be randomly distributed or arranged in pairs with the same interval, depending on actual needs. This is not limited here.
[0040] Optionally, both the side of the first lens body 21 facing the waveguide plate 1 and the side of the second lens body 31 facing the waveguide plate 1 are provided with an optical reflective coating. By providing an optical reflective coating, the light reflection efficiency can be enhanced, and light rays that are not in the designed direction can be absorbed or reflected, reducing crosstalk between adjacent optical paths, improving the imaging clarity of the optical waveguide lens, and ensuring the user's user experience.
[0041] For example, the optical reflective coating includes an AI film coating.
[0042] Optionally, both the side of the first lens body 21 facing away from the waveguide sheet 1 and the side of the second lens body 31 facing away from the waveguide sheet 1 are provided with an anti-fouling coating. By providing an anti-fouling coating, the adhesion of fingerprints, sweat, cosmetics, and other stains can be significantly reduced, maintaining the surface cleanliness of the optical waveguide lens, thereby ensuring that the optical waveguide lens maintains its original light transmittance. When it is necessary to wipe the optical waveguide lens, the user can directly wipe the anti-fouling coating on the surface of the optical waveguide lens, which can avoid scratches on the optical waveguide lens and extend its service life.
[0043] For example, the antifouling coating includes an AF film coating.
[0044] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the waveguide 1 includes a third lens body 11 and a positioning protrusion 12. The first enclosure 22 has a locking opening 221, within which the third lens body 11 is locked. The positioning protrusion 12 is located on the side of the third lens body 11 facing the second protective lens 3. The second protective lens 3 has a positioning groove 321, within which the positioning protrusion 12 is locked. By providing the locking opening 221, the third lens body 11 can be locked within it, thus ensuring the stability of the third lens body 11 during installation. It also provides positioning for the third lens body 11, allowing it to be precisely locked into the installation cavity according to a preset position. The positioning protrusion 12 and the positioning groove 321 work together to provide positioning for the second protective lens 3 and to secure the second protective lens 3 to the waveguide 1, preventing it from shaking or shifting and maintaining the overall structural stability.
[0045] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer wall of the first enclosure 22 is provided with an adhesive groove 222 along the circumferential direction. An adhesive component is provided in the adhesive groove 222 to adhesively fix the first enclosure 22 and the second protective lens 3. When adhesively fixing the first protective lens 2 and the second protective lens 3, it is only necessary to fill the adhesive groove 222 to adhesively fix the first enclosure 22 and the second enclosure 32 of the second protective lens 3.
[0046] For example, the adhesive includes a UV-curable adhesive.
[0047] In some embodiments, a snap-fit groove may be provided at the end of the second enclosure 32, the first enclosure 22 may be snapped into the snap-fit groove, and the first enclosure 22 and the second enclosure 32 may be connected and fixed by vibration friction welding.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] This embodiment proposes an AR glasses system, including a frame and two waveguide lenses as described above. The frame has two lens mounting slots, and the two waveguide lenses are respectively secured within the two lens mounting slots. By using the waveguide lenses described above to fabricate the AR glasses, the lifespan of the AR glasses can be extended, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
