Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eyeglasses technology, and more particularly to an elastic three-pronged hinge structure. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeglasses consist of two parts: lenses and frames. They are used to improve vision, protect the eyes, or for decorative purposes. The frames include the eyelids and temples, with the temples folding inwards relative to the frame. However, eyeglasses have the following drawbacks during fitting and use: Traditionally, the frame and temples are connected by screws for rotation. If the screws are too tight, the temples cannot fold relative to the frame; if the screws are too loose, they may come loose after repeated folding and storage, causing the temples to detach and rendering the glasses unusable. Disassembly and assembly are relatively difficult, requiring specialized tools, and the process is cumbersome, resulting in poor assembly quality and easy damage.

[0003] Traditional eyeglass temples typically use screws and solder joints to connect the various components, but this design presents some problems during use.

[0004] Over time, screws can loosen, leading to a decrease in the stability and sturdiness of the temples. Additionally, solder joints may become loose or break, requiring repair or replacement, which increases maintenance costs and inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a novel elastic three-pronged hinge structure. The three-pronged head component at the front end of the eyeglass foot body is movably connected to the eyeglass frame body through the pivot component, which facilitates the assembly and cooperation of various structures of the eyeglass foot body and makes disassembly and maintenance convenient. At the same time, there is no hinge screw structure in its use, which extends the service life and reduces the burden of subsequent maintenance. The three-pronged head and the connector at the front end of the eyeglass frame body cooperate to complete the elastic limit, preventing the eyeglass foot body from rotating around the pivot, which is convenient to use.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A flexible three-pronged hinge structure includes an eyeglass foot body, an eyeglass frame body, and a screwless hinge assembly. The eyeglass foot body has a three-pronged head component at its front end, which is movably connected to the eyeglass frame body via the hinge assembly. The three-pronged head component includes a first circular fork, a second circular fork, and a third circular fork. The first and third circular forks are respectively connected to the upper and lower parts of the front end of the eyeglass foot body. A second fork is provided between the first and third circular forks, and the second fork is connected to the middle part of the front end of the eyeglass foot body.

[0008] As a further feature, the tail end of the second fork is provided with a groove, and the front end of the second fork is provided with a limiting block.

[0009] As a further feature, the front end of the eyeglass frame body is provided with a connector, the connector has a pivot hole in the middle, the outer side wall of the connector has an elastic limiting groove, the inner side wall of the connector has an outer arc shape, the connector at the front end of the eyeglass frame body is clamped between the first circular fork and the third circular fork, the pivot hole in the middle of the connector matches the first circular fork and the third circular fork, and the pivot assembly passes through the pivot hole in the middle of the connector and the first circular fork and the third circular fork to connect to the front end of the eyeglass frame body.

[0010] As a further embodiment, the pivot assembly includes a pivot and a bushing. One end of the pivot passes through the pivot through hole in the middle of the connector and the first and third circular forks, and is locked onto the eyeglass frame body by the bushing. The inner sidewall of the connector has an outer arc-shaped groove that is embedded in the tail end of the second fork, causing the eyeglass frame body to spring inward. The limiting block at the front end of the second fork is embedded in the elastic limiting groove on the outer sidewall of the connector, and the front end of the eyeglass frame body can spring outward within the elastic limiting groove on the outer sidewall of the connector.

[0011] As a further development, the front end of the eyeglass frame body and the connector are integrally formed.

[0012] Furthermore, the first circular fork, the second circular fork, and the third circular fork are integrally formed with the front end of the eyeglasses base.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the three-pronged head component at the front end of the eyeglass foot body is movably connected to the eyeglass frame body through the rotating shaft component, which facilitates the assembly and cooperation of various structures of the eyeglass foot body, and makes disassembly and maintenance convenient. At the same time, there is no hinge screw structure in its use, which extends the service life and reduces the burden of subsequent maintenance. The three-pronged head and the connector at the front end of the eyeglass frame body cooperate to complete the elastic limit, preventing the eyeglass foot body from rotating around the rotating shaft at will, which is convenient to use.
