Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of equipment protection technology, specifically to an equipment protection device. Background Technology

[0002] The core components of VR devices mainly consist of displays, optical lenses, etc., used to present virtual scenes.

[0003] To provide users with an immersive experience, existing VR devices are typically equipped with light shields. For example, in indoor environments with strong light, such as near windows or direct light sources, light shields can effectively block light from entering the VR device, preventing light interference from affecting the visual experience and allowing users to enjoy VR content more immersively. Light shields include traditional snap-on or adhesive types, as well as magnetic light shields.

[0004] Magnetic light shields allow users to easily disassemble and replace them with different sizes. However, for first-time users, when holding the VR device, they may not be holding the VR device itself (which is relatively heavy), but only the light shield. Since the magnetic structure on the light shield does not provide enough magnetic force to support the weight of the device itself, the VR device may fall to the ground and break, especially for devices with an external display screen.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 It shows a schematic diagram of a device protection device provided by some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the equipment protection device 10 includes: a first component 100 and a second component 200.

[0038] The first component 100 is equipped with a first stress detection module 110 and multiple magnets 120. The second component 200 is equipped with a second stress detection module 210, a magnetic intensity control module 230, and multiple magnetic coils 220. The magnetic intensity control module 230 is communicatively connected to both the first stress detection module 110 and the second stress detection module 210. The magnetic coils 220 and the magnets 120 are correspondingly arranged. When the magnetic coil 220 is energized, it attracts the corresponding magnet 120, thereby attracting the first component 100 and the second component 200 together.

[0039] For example, the first component 100 can be a magnetic light shield, and the second component 200 can be the VR device itself or a component that can be fixedly mounted on the VR device. Figure 2 The second component 200 shown is the VR device body, which has six magnetic coils on it, and six magnets are also correspondingly provided on the light shield. Of course, in this application, the first component 100 and the second component 200 can also be other types of device combinations, and this application does not limit them.

[0040] In some embodiments, a plurality of magnets 120 are evenly distributed on the first component 100, and a plurality of magnetic coils 220 are also evenly distributed on the second component 200.

[0041] The first stress detection module 110 is used to detect the pressure value applied to the first component 100, and the second stress detection module 210 is used to detect the pressure value applied to the second component 200. The magnetic intensity control module 230 is used to control the current flowing through each of the magnetic coils according to the pressure values ​​detected by the first stress detection module 110 and the second stress detection module 210, so as to control the magnitude of the attraction force between each magnetic coil and the corresponding magnet.

[0042] The principle by which the above-mentioned equipment protection device controls the magnetic coil's attraction force is as follows:

[0043] Assuming the user is holding the first component 100, the corresponding first stress detection module 110 will detect the pressure value applied to the first component 100. Then, it checks whether the second stress detection module 210 of the second component 200 also detects the pressure value applied to the second component 200. If it does, the current magnetic current remains unchanged. If it doesn't detect any pressure, it means the user is only holding the first component 100, and the second component 200 is not being held, posing a high risk of dropping. In this case, the magnetic current is increased to increase the magnetic strength and thus the attraction force.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, taking a VR device as an example, if the user is holding the light shield, its corresponding stress detection module will recognize this. At this point, it will determine whether the stress detection module on the main body of the VR device also detects the corresponding information. If so, the current magnetic current will remain unchanged. If no detection is made, it means that the user is only holding the light shield, and the main body of the VR device is not being held, posing a high risk of falling. In this case, the magnetic current will be increased to increase the magnetic strength and thus the attraction force, preventing the VR device from falling.

[0045] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first stress detection module 110 includes a first stress detection unit 11 and a first microprocessor 12 that are interconnected.

[0046] The first stress detection unit 11 is disposed at a specific location on the first component 100 and is used to detect the pressure signal applied to the specific location of the first component 100 when the user holds it. Specifically, the first stress detection unit 11 can be implemented by a stress detection / pressure detection sensor to identify whether the user is holding it.

[0047] The first microprocessor 12 is used to acquire pressure signals from specific locations of the first component 100 and convert the pressure signals into pressure values. Specifically, the first microprocessor 12 can be a microprocessor such as a microcontroller, which can convert the pressure signals detected by the sensor into pressure values ​​and send the pressure values ​​to other components.

[0048] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second stress detection module 210 includes a second stress detection unit 21 and a second microprocessor 22 that are interconnected.

[0049] The second stress detection unit 21 is disposed at a specific location on the second component 200 and is used to detect the pressure signal applied to the specific location of the second component 200 when the user holds it; specifically, the second stress detection unit 21 can be implemented by a stress detection / pressure detection sensor to identify whether the user is holding it.

[0050] The second microprocessor 22 is used to acquire pressure signals from specific locations of the second component 200 and convert these pressure signals into pressure values. Specifically, the second microprocessor 22 can be a microprocessor such as a microcontroller, which can convert the pressure signals detected by the sensor into pressure values ​​and send these pressure values ​​to other components.

[0051] The second microprocessor 22 is further configured to generate a magnetic intensity control signal based on the pressure value at a specific location of the first component 100 and the pressure value at a specific location of the second component 200, and send the magnetic intensity control signal to the magnetic intensity control module 230 so that the magnetic intensity control module 230 controls the magnitude of the current flowing through each of the magnetic coils according to the magnetic intensity control signal.

[0052] In some embodiments, the magnetic intensity control module 230 can independently control the current magnitude of each of the magnetic coils 220. That is, the magnitude of the attraction force generated by the magnetic coils 220 can be the same or different, and the magnitude of the attraction force generated by each magnetic coil can be set according to actual needs to meet user requirements.

[0053] The device protection device provided in this embodiment includes: a first component, on which a first stress detection module and multiple magnets are disposed; a second component, on which a second stress detection module, a magnetic intensity control module and multiple magnetic coils are disposed; the magnetic intensity control module is communicatively connected to the first stress detection module and the second stress detection module respectively; the first stress detection module is used to detect the pressure value applied to the first component; the second stress detection module is used to detect the pressure value applied to the second component; the magnetic intensity control module is used to control the current flowing through each of the magnetic coils according to the pressure values ​​detected by the first stress detection module and the second stress detection module, so as to control the magnitude of the attraction force between each magnetic coil and the corresponding magnet. Compared with the prior art, the device protection device of this application can control the magnitude of the attraction force between the first component and the second component according to the stress on the first component and the second component, that is, when the device is at risk of falling, it can increase the attraction force between the first component and the second component to avoid the device falling due to insufficient attraction force between the first component and the second component.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application 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. 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 application, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this application.
