[0038] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; "connection" can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 8 A split-type external vision protection device for eyeglasses includes at least one external device 120 mounted on the temple of the glasses: the external device 120 includes a main unit and an ear-mount assembly 1; wherein,

[0043] The main unit 100 is provided with a fixing component (not labeled) for detachable connection with the temples of the eyeglasses; the main unit includes a housing 2, and a function execution component (not labeled) and a control component (not labeled) disposed within the housing 2.

[0044] The ear hook assembly 1 is fixed below the main unit 100. The ear hook assembly 1 includes an arc-shaped ear hook 11. The ear hook 11 fits against the user's auricle. One end of the ear hook 11 is connected to the housing 2 and extends downward along the user's auricle, passing over the earlobe, and then bends to the tragus.

[0045] This invention protects the user's eyesight through a device mounted on the temples of glasses. The external mounting structure is compatible with various eyeglass frames, achieving cross-model compatibility. Compared to a one-piece design, users do not need to replace their existing glasses; they only need to use the fixing components to externally mount this invention onto their glasses.

[0046] The control component includes a power module (not labeled), an integrated circuit board 31, and an acceleration sensor 32. The integrated circuit board 31 is electrically connected to the acceleration sensor 32 and the power module. The function execution component includes at least one of a speaker (not shown) and a micro-vibration motor 42. Both the speaker and the micro-vibration motor 42 are electrically connected to the integrated circuit board 31 and the power module.

[0047] Accelerometer 32 is used to detect whether the user is wearing or removing glasses. After the signal is transmitted to integrated circuit board 31, the speaker or micro-vibration motor 42 in function execution component 4 is activated according to the program settings in integrated circuit board 31. The above functions are already existing technologies in wearable smart glasses, VR glasses and other wearable devices, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0048] For example, in a specific example, according to the settings, the accelerometer 32 first detects whether the user is wearing glasses. If the accelerometer 32 does not detect the user taking off the glasses within a certain period of time, it will take the first-level intervention, that is, the micro-vibration motor 42 vibrates. If the accelerometer 32 does not detect the user taking off the glasses again, it will remind the user through the speaker, that is, the second-level intervention, so as to achieve multi-level active intervention.

[0049] The ear hook assembly 1 is attached to the user's earlobe, which can transmit the sound from the speaker to the user and is not easy to fall off when the user is exercising, taking into account the user's daily and sports needs. In a better embodiment, the ear hook assembly 1 can be optimized into a bone conduction assembly. The bone conduction assembly can reduce the direct sound wave impact on the eardrum, reduce the risk of hearing damage, and is suitable for long-term use. The open design of the bone conduction assembly allows the user to hear external sounds, improves outdoor safety, and is suitable for commuting, cycling and other scenarios.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the power module includes a lithium battery 8, which is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board. The lithium battery 8 is built into the housing 2 to power the device, and the housing 2 is also provided with a charging port 81.

[0051] In other embodiments, the housing 2 may also have a cover for battery removal and installation, and the interior of the housing 2 and the lithium battery 8 are also designed to be removable for battery replacement.

[0052] Preferably, in this embodiment, the fixing component includes an elastic element and a fixing through hole 5. The fixing through hole 5 is formed on the housing 2, and the shape of the fixing through hole 5 corresponds to the shape of the temple. The elastic element is disposed in the fixing through hole 5 to lock the temple by elastic force.

[0053] The shape of the fixing hole 5 matches the curvature of the temple and is locked by an elastic element. The fixing method described above can be adapted to most eyeglass styles and will not damage the eyeglasses.

[0054] Furthermore, the elastic element includes several leaf springs 6 disposed on the inner wall of the fixing through hole 5.

[0055] Compared to traditional springs, using leaf spring 6 as the elastic element can reduce the space occupied by the fixing components, while being easy to disassemble and assemble, and providing better fixing effect.

[0056] See details Figures 6 to 7 Specifically, the peripheral devices 120 are arranged in pairs and are respectively installed on the two temples of the glasses.

[0057] The split, paired design allows the total weight to be symmetrically distributed to the two temples, keeping the overall center of gravity of the glasses within the range of the nose pad's center line. Compared to a single-sided suspension design, this reduces head tilt torque, improves user comfort, and reduces ear pressure.

[0058] Specifically, the control component includes a power module, an integrated circuit board, and an accelerometer. The integrated circuit board 31 is electrically connected to the accelerometer 32 and the power module. The function execution component includes at least one of a speaker and a micro-vibration motor 42. Both the speaker and the micro-vibration motor 42 are electrically connected to the integrated circuit board 31 and the power module. The peripheral device 120 also includes a connecting cable 7, which passes around the back of the user's head and connects to the paired peripheral devices 120. The control component 3 is provided in one peripheral device 120, and the control component 3 is not provided in the other peripheral device 120. The two peripheral devices 120 are each provided with different function execution components 4.

[0059] The master-slave architecture concentrates the core control component 3 on one side, while only the execution unit is retained on the other side. This distributed design avoids redundant weight caused by repeated configuration of electronic components, ensures binaural response synchronization through physical cables, and provides higher signal stability compared to wireless solutions by using connection cable 7, ensuring reliable transmission of control commands even in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0060] Preferably, it also includes an in-ear headphone speaker and a silicone earplug 12. The in-ear headphone speaker is located at the end of the ear hook and is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board. The silicone earplug 12 covers the in-ear headphone speaker 41 and can be placed inside the user's ear canal.

[0061] The silicone ear tips 12 secure the ear hooks to the user's ear canal, preventing them from falling off during user activity. The combination of the in-ear headphone speaker 41 and the silicone ear tips 12 provides the user with a better auditory experience.

[0062] Furthermore, the integrated circuit board 31 is equipped with a timing circuit.

[0063] The built-in timing circuit integrated on the integrated circuit board 31 is used to control the execution time and execution interval of the function execution component 4, thereby controlling the time the user uses the glasses.

[0064] Specifically, the control component 3 also includes a wireless communication component disposed on the integrated circuit board and an antenna 13 disposed in the housing 2 to achieve remote control.

[0065] The integrated circuit board 31 is equipped with a wireless protocol stack, which transmits control commands to another peripheral component via the connection line 7. Users can connect via mobile devices and activate the function execution component 4 to achieve remote control.

[0066] Specifically, the function execution components include a microcurrent electric shock component 10 and a camera component (not shown in the figure).

[0067] The microcurrent electric shock assembly 10 includes an electrode contact 101 and a microcurrent generating device (not labeled in the figure). The electrode contact 101 is disposed on the side of the housing 2 that contacts the user, and the microcurrent generating device is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board 31 and the electrode contact 101.

[0068] The camera assembly is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board 31, and the lens of the camera assembly is mounted on the housing 2.

[0069] The microcurrent shock component 10 uses an adjustable microcurrent of 0.5-200μA. The electrode contacts 101 are made of medical-grade stainless steel and come into contact with the user's skin. As the last stage of intervention, the microcurrent shock component 10 will be activated if the accelerometer 32 still does not detect a signal after the speaker and micro-vibration motor 42 are activated, thereby forcibly intervening the user to remove the glasses.

[0070] Of course, the microcurrent electric shock component 10 mentioned above is an optional setting. Depending on the safety certification requirements, this function can be removed or added as an option.

[0071] The camera component can receive control from the control component, send the captured image information to the control component, and transmit it to the backend server or other corresponding devices via the wireless communication component.

[0072] See details Figure 8 To achieve the above objectives, this utility model also provides a pair of glasses, including a glasses body 11 and the aforementioned separate external vision protection device. The glasses, including the aforementioned separate external vision protection device, establish a multi-level intervention mechanism and also have a built-in remote connection function, allowing users to monitor and control the device via mobile devices.

[0073] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of this utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
