For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a smart glasses with replaceable frames, including two temples 1 and a frame 2 for fixing the lenses.
[0037] Specifically, at least one temple 1 is provided with a functional component and a wireless communication module 3, and the temple 1 is connected to the frame 2 and / or external devices through the wireless communication module 3.
[0038] Each end of the frame 2 has a connector 4 positioned opposite each other. The two temples 1 are mounted at both ends of the frame 2 by being detachably hinged to a connector 4, thus allowing them to be in an unfolded or folded state. Figure 1 The directional part 41 extends in the direction of the dotted line in the image. The functional component includes a camera 5 disposed on the temple 1 near one end of the connector 4. The directional part 41 is used to abut against the temple 1 when the temple 1 is in the unfolded state, so that the orientation of the camera 5 is consistent with the optical axis direction of the lens.
[0039] Understandably, based on the fact that the temple 1 is detachably hinged to the frame 2 via the connector 4, and the temple 1 communicates with the frame 2 and / or external devices via the wireless communication module 3, this invention eliminates the integrated design between the temple 1 and the frame 2, and also eliminates the specific adapter between the temple 1 and the frame 2. This allows the frame 2 to be flexibly disassembled and replaced, and the temple 1 to be flexibly folded. In practical applications, the temple 1 can be paired with different types and styles of frames 2 to meet consumers' personalized matching and assembly needs. Furthermore, the temple 1 can be manufactured and delivered to different distributors or retailers, realizing a flexible distribution model. It can provide different customers with the same smart glasses as a service (GAAS) model, supporting continuous upgrades and service functions for users through standardized temple 1. In addition, while ensuring that the temple 1 is foldable, this invention also provides an orientation part 41 based on the connector 4 to achieve orientation of the temple 1 in the unfolded state, ensuring the correct orientation of the camera 5, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the smart glasses' camera function and providing a good shooting experience for the user.
[0040] Optionally, the lens fixed in the frame 2 can be any one of the following: a prescription lens, a sunglasses lens, or an AR lens, but is not limited to these three types of lenses. During use, the frame 2 with different lenses can be flexibly disassembled and replaced according to actual needs to achieve different functional combinations of the smart glasses.
[0041] Specifically, when the lens fixed in frame 2 is a myopia lens or a sunglasses lens, frame 2 can be configured as a regular frame, meaning frame 2 itself does not have smart functions. In this case, temple 1 can wirelessly connect to external devices via wireless communication module 3, but not wirelessly connect to frame 2. These external devices can be, for example, mobile phones, tablets, and computers. However, when the lens fixed in frame 2 is an AR lens, frame 2 can be configured to have smart functions to support the normal operation of the AR lens. In this case, temple 1 can wirelessly connect to both frame 2 and external devices simultaneously via wireless communication module 3, thereby achieving functional coordination of the entire smart glasses and communication with external devices.
[0042] For example, the wireless communication module 3 may include a Bluetooth module and / or a WiFi module.
[0043] For example, the temple 1 can be made of PC+ABS composite material, which has the advantages of being lightweight, durable, heat-resistant, and drop-resistant. The surface is preferably treated with a matte finish to present a delicate frosted effect, which can effectively reduce fingerprint stains and ensure that the smart glasses are comfortable and durable to wear.
[0044] In practical applications, a photo-taking button 51 can also be set on the temple 1, so that users can control the camera 5 to take pictures by pressing the photo-taking button 51, which is very convenient to use.
[0045] In this invention, the temple 1 is preferably configured such that when in a folded state, the camera 5 faces to the side relative to the frame 1, that is, towards the extending direction of the frame 1.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The connector 4 also includes a spring-loaded part 42 and a first hinge part 43. Specifically, one end of the spring-loaded part 42 is connected to the directional part 41, and the other end of the spring-loaded part 42 is detachably hinged to the temple 1 via the first hinge part 43. Thus, the temple 1 can rotate relative to the frame 2 around its hinge point with the first hinge part 43, thereby switching between an unfolded state and a folded state. When changing the frame 2, simply disconnecting the hinge between the temple 1 and the first hinge part 43 is sufficient to separate the temple 1 from the frame 2. In practical applications, the position and angle of the temple 1 can also be finely adjusted by the elastic deformation of the spring-loaded part 42, thereby automatically adapting to different users' head shapes and ear contours for a better user experience.
[0047] For example, the orientation section 41 may be Figure 3 The L-shaped metal piece 411 shown has one limb connected to the frame 2 by embedding it in the frame 2, while the other limb is located outside the frame 2 and extends along the optical axis of the lens to abut against the temple 1 when the temple 1 is in the extended state, thereby achieving orientation of the camera 5. The spring piece 42 may include a U-shaped segment 421 and an extension segment 422. One parallel side of the U-shaped segment 421 is connected to the side of the L-shaped metal piece 411 away from the temple 1, one end of the extension segment 422 is connected to the end of the other parallel side of the U-shaped segment 421, and the other end of the extension segment 422 is connected to the first hinge portion 43.
[0048] In some cases, the L-shaped metal piece 411 can be detachably embedded in the frame 2, so that the frame 2 and temple 1 can be separated by removing the L-shaped metal piece 411 from the frame 2, making disassembly more convenient.
[0049] Furthermore, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 A mounting groove 11 can be provided on the outer wall of the temple 1 near the camera 5. The mounting groove 11 faces the first hinge part 43 and a connecting plate 6 is provided therein. A second hinge part 7 is provided on the connecting plate 6. The second hinge part 7 is detachably hinged to the first hinge part 43.
[0050] For example, the connecting plate 6 can be fixed in the mounting groove 11 by screws or pins. The second hinge part 7 can be a concave tooth provided on the connecting plate 6, and the first hinge part 43 can be a convex tooth that matches the concave tooth. The convex tooth is embedded in the concave tooth and is detachably hinged by screws.
[0051] In one specific embodiment, a battery module 8 is detachably disposed on the end of the temple 1 away from the connector 4. The battery module 8 is electrically connected to the functional component and the wireless communication module 3 to provide power to the functional component and the wireless communication module 3. In this embodiment, by making the battery module 8 detachably disposed on the temple 1, the replacement of the battery module 8 is facilitated, thereby ensuring the continuous use of the temple 1.
[0052] In a specific case, please refer to Figure 4 The temple 1, away from the connector 4, may have a socket (not marked in the figure) containing a female connector 9. The female connector 9 electrically connects the functional component and the wireless communication module 3 via a cable 10. The battery module 8 has a male connector 81, which is detachably mounted on the temple 1 away from the connector 4 by plugging the male connector 81 into the female connector 9. Thus, the battery module 8 can be quickly connected to the female connector 9 via a plug-in connection and thereby fixed to the tail of the temple 1. The power from the battery module 8 is transmitted to the functional component and the wireless communication module 3 via the female connector 9 and the cable 10. The cable 10 can be a flexible printed circuit board.
[0053] In some cases, a male connector 81 can be provided in the socket, and a female connector 9 can be configured on the battery module 8. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0054] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 An annular sealing sleeve 13 may be provided on the end face of the connector facing the battery module 8, so that the battery module 8 can be sealed by mutual compression with the annular sealing sleeve 13 when it is inserted into the temple 1. A first sealing ring 14 is provided between the female connector 9 and the inner wall of the connector to prevent external liquid from entering the temple 1 from the connector. A second sealing ring 15 is provided on the male connector 81 for sealing connection with the inner wall of the annular sealing sleeve 13. Specifically, when the male connector 81 is inserted into the female connector 9, the second sealing ring 15 abuts and compresses against the inner wall of the annular sealing sleeve 13, thereby achieving a seal.
[0055] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4The temple 1 also houses a main control module 16 that connects the camera 5 and the wireless communication module 3. The functional components also include a capacitive sensor 17 that connects to the main control module 16. Specifically, the capacitive sensor 17 is attached to the inner wall of the temple 1 facing the frame 2. In practical use, this embodiment can detect whether the temple 1 is in contact with the user's skin using the capacitive sensor 17, thereby determining whether the smart glasses are being worn. When the smart glasses are being worn, the main control module 16 can automatically activate the camera 5; when the smart glasses are not being worn, the main control module 16 can automatically deactivate the camera 5. Based on the wear detection of the capacitive sensor 17, this embodiment significantly improves the user's interactive experience and prevents the camera 5 from being accidentally activated when not being worn, effectively protecting user privacy.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, a protective cover 18 may be provided on the camera 5. The protective cover 18 is preferably configured to be able to be put on the camera 5 and also removed from the camera 5. When the smart glasses are used for camera function, the protective cover 18 can be removed; when the smart glasses are not in use, the protective cover 18 can be put on to protect the camera 5.
[0057] Additionally, an illumination device 21 may be provided on the temple 1 near the connector 4. This illumination device 21 may be, for example, an LED light bead. The illumination device 21 may be configured to turn on when the camera 5 is activated, so as to provide sufficient light source for the camera 5. Preferably, the illumination device 21 may be provided on one temple 1 near the connector 4, and the camera 5 may be provided on the other temple 1 near the connector 4.
[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The functional components may also include a microphone module 20 and / or a speaker module 19 to enable voice interaction functionality for the smart glasses.
[0059] In summary, this invention provides a smart glasses with interchangeable frames. Based on the temples being detachably hinged to the frame via connectors, and the temples communicating with the frame and / or external devices via a wireless communication module, this invention eliminates the need for a one-piece design between the temples and the frame, and a specific adapter between them. This allows for flexible frame removal and replacement, and flexible temple folding. In practical applications, the temples can be paired with different types and styles of frames to meet consumers' personalized matching and assembly needs, offering high flexibility. Furthermore, while ensuring the temples are foldable, this invention incorporates a directional part in the connector to orient the temples in the unfolded state, ensuring the correct orientation of the camera and thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the smart glasses' camera function, resulting in a good user shooting experience.
