[0007] The main body is in the shape of a flat box and has a wireless charging unit inside; the side of the main body is connected to the second plate and can charge the glasses located in the accommodating cavity;

[0008] A wrapping component is attached to the other side of the main body relative to the second plate and can overlap end to wrap the deformation support and the main body.

[0009] The foldable eyeglass case proposed in this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the package includes a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a fourth panel that are folded and connected in sequence. The first panel is adapted to and connected to the first plate, the second panel is adapted to and connected to the main body, and the third panel has an opening that is approximately the same as that of the deformable support in the unfolded state.

[0014] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a limiting member is further included. The limiting member protrudes from the inner side of the first panel. Both the first plate and the second plate are provided with clearance holes, and the main body is provided with clearance grooves. In the unfolded state, the limiting member can pass through the clearance hole of the first plate to fix the glasses located in the receiving cavity.

[0019] The foldable glasses case provided by this utility model solves the charging problem of smart glasses by setting a main body with an internal wireless charging unit. By setting a deformable support member with unfolded and folded states, the smart glasses can be stored in the unfolded state, and the glasses case can be folded in the folded state.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0038] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence.

[0040] This utility model embodiment proposes a foldable glasses case 100, which has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, it can store and charge smart glasses 50. In the folded state, it can reduce its volume and space occupation, thus making it easy to carry.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-16The foldable glasses case 100 proposed in this utility model includes a deformation support member 10, a main body 20, and a wrapping member 30. The deformation support member 10 includes a first plate 11 and a second plate 12 that can be foldably connected, and two side plates 13 that can be foldably connected to both ends of the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The deformation support member 10 has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 have a certain angle between them and form an open receiving cavity. In the folded state, the first plate 11, the second plate 12, and the two side plates 13 are folded together. The main body 20 is flat and has a wireless charging unit inside. The side of the main body 20 is connected to the second plate 12 and can charge the glasses located in the receiving cavity. The wrapping member 30 is connected to the other side of the main body 20 opposite to the second plate 12 and can overlap end to wrap the deformation support member 10 and the main body 20.

[0042] Specifically, in the deformable support member 10, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are both rectangular, and their long sides are connected to form a foldable structure. Two side plates 13 are triangularly arranged and positioned between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, with each side plate 13 having two foldable sides connected to the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 respectively. Based on this foldable connection, the deformable support member 10 can have a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the first plate 11, the second plate 12, and the two side plates 13 are folded together to form a rectangle. In the unfolded state, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are opened to form a triangular, open accommodating cavity, which can be used to hold the folded smart glasses 50.

[0043] The main body 20 is generally a flat box shape with a similar outline to the first plate 11, and has a cavity for housing a wireless charging unit. The wireless charging unit generally includes a motherboard, a battery, a charging coil, and a connector. The motherboard can be a circuit board, and it connects to the battery, charging coil, and connector. The connector can be a Type-C connector, located at the end of the main body 20, and can be used to charge the battery. The main body 20 is adapted to and connected to the second plate 12, and can charge the smart glasses 50 through the wireless charging unit located within it.

[0044] The width of the package 30 is approximately equal to the length of the first plate 11, and the two ends can be connected by overlapping. Since the package 30 has an overlapping structure, the size of the enclosed space can be adjusted according to the size of the deformable support 10 and the main body 20. Thus, it can not only connect the deformable support 10 in the folded state to the main body 20, but also connect the deformable support 10 in the unfolded state to the main body 20. Furthermore, it can close the opening of the deformable support 10 in this state to realize the storage of the smart glasses 50.

[0045] According to the foldable glasses case 100 provided by this utility model, the main body 20 with an internal wireless charging unit solves the charging problem of the smart glasses 50. By providing a deformable support member 10 with unfolded and folded states, the smart glasses 50 can be stored in the unfolded state, and the glasses case can be folded in the folded state. By providing a wrapping member 30 that can be overlapped end-to-end, the main body 20 and the deformable support member 10 in any state can be wrapped inside, thus forming a whole. Through the above configuration, the foldable glasses case 100 in this embodiment not only stores the smart glasses 50 and charges it in the stored state, but also folds itself when not stored, thus reducing its space occupation and making it convenient for users to carry.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the main body 20 perpendicular to its axis is a rounded rectangle, which not only reduces wear on the package 30, but also makes it more aesthetically pleasing and practical.

[0047] In some embodiments, the package 30 includes a first panel 31, a second panel 32, a third panel 33, and a fourth panel 34 that are folded and connected in sequence. The first panel 31 is adapted to be connected to the first plate 11, the second panel 32 is adapted to be connected to the main body 20, and the third panel 33 has an opening that is substantially the same as that of the deformable support 10 in the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the fourth panel 34 is connected to the first panel 31, and in the folded state, both the third panel 33 and the fourth panel 34 are connected to the first panel 31.

[0048] Specifically, by setting the package 30 to a four-fold structure, it can be joined end to end to form a triangle-like shape, thereby enclosing the unfolded deformation support 10 and the main body 20 inside. It can also be enclosed to form a flat box shape, thereby enclosing the folded deformation support 10 and the main body 20 inside. This achieves the storage of the main body 20 and the deformation support 10 in different states.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the package 30 may also be made of other flexible materials, and folding is achieved based on the flexibility of the flexible material.

[0050] In some embodiments, a first magnet 22 is provided at each of the four corners of the first panel 31, and a metal sheet 36 is provided at both ends of the third panel 33 and the fourth panel 34. In the unfolded state, the metal sheet 36 of the fourth panel 34 is connected to the magnet 35. In the folded state, the metal sheets 36 of the third panel 33 and the fourth panel 34 are connected to the first magnet 35. In this way, the wrapping component 30 can achieve an overlapping connection regardless of whether the deformation support member 10 is in the unfolded or folded state.

[0051] Of course, in other embodiments, the package 30 can also use other overlapping methods, such as Velcro, snaps, etc., to achieve the end-to-end overlapping connection.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first plate 11 includes a trapezoidal plate 15 and triangular plates 16 disposed at both ends of the trapezoidal plate 15 and foldably connected to the trapezoidal plate 15. The trapezoidal plate 15 is connected to the second plate 12, and the triangular plates 16 are connected to the side plate 13. In the unfolded state, the trapezoidal plate 15 and the two triangular plates 16 are coplanar. In the folded state, the two triangular plates 16 are folded to overlap with the trapezoidal plate 15.

[0053] Since the first plate 11 is formed with the above-described structure, it can be folded to allow the deformation support 10 to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state, thereby realizing the aforementioned function of the deformation support 10. Furthermore, since the folding of the deformation support 10 is achieved through the folding of the first plate 11, and the first plate 11 is wrapped by the first panel 31 of the wrapping member 30, the stability of the deformation support 10 in the unfolded state is improved, thus ensuring the reliability of the foldable glasses.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the deformation support 10 can also achieve state switching in other ways, such as by making the side plate 13 into a foldable structure and achieving state switching of the deformation support 10 by folding the side plate 13.

[0055] In some embodiments, the triangular plate 16 is a metal plate, and the main body 20 is provided with two second magnets 22. In the unfolded state, the two triangular plates 16 are magnetically connected to the first magnet 35 at the corner of the first panel 31. In the folded state, the two triangular plates 16 are magnetically connected to the two second magnets 22 in the main body 20 respectively.

[0056] Specifically, the first magnet 35 of the first panel 31 is located at the corner, which corresponds to the position of the triangular plate 16 in the unfolded state. The second magnet 22 inside the main body 20 corresponds to the position of the triangular plate 16 in the folded state. In this way, the triangular plate 16 can be magnetically fixed in both the unfolded and folded states, thereby further ensuring the structural stability of the deformation support 10 in different states and improving the structural stability of the foldable glasses case 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, a limiting member 40 is also included, which protrudes from the inner side of the first panel 31. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are both provided with clearance holes 14, and the main body 20 is provided with clearance grooves 21. In the unfolded state, the limiting member 40 can pass through the clearance hole 14 of the first plate 11 to fix the glasses located in the receiving cavity. In the folded state, the limiting member 40 can pass through the clearance hole 14 and be received in the clearance groove 21.

[0058] Of course, in some embodiments, the limiting member 40 may also be provided on the first plate 11. In this case, only the second plate 12 is provided with the clearance hole 14, and the main body 20 is provided with the clearance groove 21.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting the limiting member 40, the smart glasses 50 can be fixed, which is conducive to the smart glasses 50 being aligned and charged with the wireless charging unit. At the same time, by setting the clearance groove 21 on the main body 20 and the clearance hole 14 on the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, the limiting member 40 can be accommodated in the folded state, so as not to affect the folding of the foldable glasses.

[0060] In some embodiments, the limiting member 40 includes a base 41 with a spring piece 42 and a soft rubber member 43 adapted to the shape of the base 41. The base 41 is connected to the first panel 31, and the soft rubber member 43 is fitted in the receiving cavity and is fitted on the base 41 inserted into the receiving cavity.

[0061] Specifically, the base 41 protrudes from the first panel 31, and one end of the spring piece 42 is connected to the base 41, while the other end extends towards the side of the first panel 31 corresponding to the opening of the receiving cavity. A clearance hole 14 is provided on the trapezoidal plate 15, and the outer contour of the clearance hole 14 is larger than the outer contour of the base 41 but smaller than the outer contour of the soft rubber part 43. Thus, after the base 41 is inserted into the receiving cavity through the clearance hole 14 of the trapezoidal plate 15 and adapted to the soft rubber part 43, since the outer contour of the soft rubber part 43 is larger than the outer contour of the clearance hole 14, it cannot pass through the clearance hole 14, thereby achieving the connection between the first panel 31 and the trapezoidal plate 15. Simultaneously, the spring piece 42 cooperates with the trapezoidal plate 15 to form a slot, which can be adapted to the nose bridge frame of the smart glasses 50 to fix the smart glasses 50. Furthermore, the spring piece 42 can elastically deform to facilitate the insertion and removal of the smart glasses 50. In addition, since the soft rubber part 43 is wrapped around the base 41, the smart glasses 50 can be prevented from contacting the base 41, thereby preventing the smart glasses 50 from being scratched.

[0062] In some embodiments, the deformable support 10 further includes a first outer skin with a cavity, which covers the outer sides of the first plate 11, the second plate 12 and the two side plates 13; the wrapping member 30 further includes a second outer skin, which covers the outer sides of the first panel 31, the second panel 32, the third panel 33 and the fourth panel 34.

[0063] Specifically, both the first and second outer sheaths are supported by flexible materials, such as fabric, leather, or flexible plastic. The number and shape of the cavities in the first and second outer sheaths correspond to the number and shape of the plates in the deformation support 10 and the wrapping component 30. Adjacent cavities are separated by stitching.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first panel 31 is also provided with a Hall switch integrated circuit, which includes a Hall sensor 37 and an indicator light 38. The third panel 33 is also provided with a sensing magnet 39 adapted to the position of the Hall sensor 37. The indicator light 38 is adapted to indicate the folding state of the foldable glasses case 100 according to the state of the Hall sensor 37.

[0065] In some embodiments, both ends of the main body 20 are formed with raised edges, and in the folded state, the deformation support 10 and the wrapping member 30 are housed between the two raised edges. This serves two purposes: firstly, it blocks the view of the interior from being seen directly in the folded state, making the foldable eyeglass case 100 more aesthetically pleasing; secondly, it prevents the folded part from shifting and facilitates positioning during the assembly process.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
