[0034] The applicant analyzed the existing structure of smart glasses and found that the reason for the power supply problems that easily occur after prolonged use is that the electronic units on the frame and temples are mainly connected by rigid cables, which pass through the connecting shaft. Furthermore, like ordinary glasses, existing smart glasses frequently have their temples folded during use. While folding doesn't significantly affect ordinary glasses, it's different for smart glasses. When the temples repeatedly switch between unfolded and folded states, the significant curvature between the temples and frame causes the cables to be stretched considerably during folding. This repeated bending makes the cables connecting the frame and temples prone to breakage, ultimately leading to a lack of power to the electronic components and causing malfunctions.

[0035] Based on this, this application provides a smart glasses system that connects the frame and temples via a connector. Electrical connections are established between the frame and the connector, and between the connector and the temples, via electrode pins and electrode plates. A closed electronic circuit is formed by embedding a flexible circuit board within the connector. On one hand, the connection between the frame and temples via the connector reduces the bending of the internal circuitry when the temples are folded. On the other hand, the flexible circuit board is resilient and bendable, preventing breakage due to bending, thus avoiding the problem of rigid cables breaking during repeated unfolding or folding of the temples. The following are some specific embodiments of the smart glasses provided by this utility model:

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the spatial structure of the smart glasses provided by this utility model; Figure 2 Exploded view of the structure of the smart glasses provided by this utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle; Figure 4A front view of the mirror frame provided by this utility model, projected along the front-to-back direction; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of point B in the middle; Figure 6 The front view of the temple of the mirror provided by this utility model, projected along the left-right direction; Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the spatial structure of the connector provided by this utility model; Figure 8 A front view of the connector provided by this utility model projected along the front-rear direction; Figure 9 Left view of the connector provided by this utility model projected along the front-to-back direction; Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the rear end face of the second end of the left temple provided by this utility model; Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the spatial structure of the quick-change battery provided by this utility model.

[0037] In this embodiment, when a user wears smart glasses, the user's face is facing forward, and the side opposite the user is facing backward; the user's left and right sides are left and right respectively, and the user's top and bottom sides are top and bottom respectively. Therefore, the frame 1 is located at the front end of the temple 2.

[0038] This utility model provides smart glasses, including a frame 1, temples 2, connectors 3, a power connection device 4, and a control component (not shown). The temples 2 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the frame 1 via the connectors 3, with the connectors 3 located at the front end of the temples 2. The frame 1, temples 2, and connectors 3 are hollow inside. The control component is disposed within the frame 1, temples 2, and connectors 3 and is electrically connected to the power connection device 4.

[0039] Projecting along the front-to-back direction, the left and right ends of the rear side of the frame 1 near the temple 2 are respectively provided with a first limiting groove 11 and a second limiting groove 12. The first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 penetrate the frame 1 along the front-to-back direction, and the temple 2 rotates within the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 about an axis extending vertically. Preferably, in the left-to-right direction, the outer ends of the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are respectively connected to the outside to reduce collisions between the frame 1 and the temple 2.

[0040] The temples 2 include a left temple 21 and a right temple 22 located on the left and right sides of the frame 1, respectively. The left temple 21 and the right temple 22 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 via two connectors 4. The front end of the left temple 21 is inserted into the first limiting groove 11, and when the left temple 21 is in the unfolded state, its right end face abuts against the left inner plate surface of the first limiting groove 11. Correspondingly, the front end of the right temple 22 is inserted into the second limiting groove 12, and when the right temple 22 is in the unfolded state, its left end face abuts against the right inner plate surface of the second limiting groove 12. Thus, the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 respectively limit the left temple 21 and the right temple 22, preventing excessive rotation angles when the left temple 21 and the right temple 22 are unfolded, which could damage the smart glasses.

[0041] The connector 3 includes a first connecting portion 31, a second connecting portion 32, and a connecting screw 33. The first connecting portion 31 extends in a front-rear direction away from the frame 1 and is hollow inside to accommodate the control component. A first screw hole 311 extending in a front-rear direction is formed on the front end face of the first connecting portion 31 near the frame 1. Correspondingly, a second screw hole 13 is formed on the frame 1. The first screw hole 311 and the second screw hole 13 communicate with each other, allowing the frame 1 and the first connecting portion 31 to be connected by screws. In this embodiment, there are two first screw holes 311 and two screw holes 13, arranged in a vertical direction, ensuring a stable connection between the frame 1 and the first connecting portion 31 and preventing shaking. First bosses 312 protrude from the upper and lower sides of the end of the first connecting portion 31 away from the frame 1. When the temple 2 is extended, the end of the second connecting portion 32 near the first connecting portion 31 extends in the left-right direction, and the end of the second connecting portion 32 away from the first connecting portion 31 extends in the front-back direction. When projected in the vertical direction, the second connecting portion 32 is generally inverted L-shaped. The end of the second connecting portion 32 near the first connecting portion 31 has two second protrusions 321 protruding towards the first connecting portion 31. The two second protrusions 321 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the first connecting portion 31 is sandwiched between the two second protrusions 321. The upper and lower end faces of the first protrusions 312 respectively abut against the two second protrusions 321. The end of the second connecting portion 32 away from the first connecting portion 31 has a third screw hole 322 penetrating through the second connecting portion 32. Correspondingly, the temple 2 has a fourth screw hole 23, and the third screw hole 322 communicates with the fourth screw hole 23, so that the temple 2 and the second connecting portion 32 are connected by screws. The upper bosses of the first boss 312 and the second boss 321 have through holes (not shown) extending vertically along their axes, and the lower boss of the second boss 321 has threaded holes (not shown). The connecting screw 33 passes through the through holes vertically and is threaded into the threaded holes, so that the second connecting part 32 can rotate relative to the first connecting part 31 with the connecting screw 33 as the rotation axis, allowing the temple 2 to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0042] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in other embodiments, the structural design for the rotatable connection between the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 can be interchanged. For example, the first boss 312 can also be disposed on the second connecting part 32, and the two second bosses 322 can also be disposed on the first connecting part 31.

[0043] The electrical connection device 4 includes a first electrical connection part 41, a second electrical connection part 42, a third electrical connection part 43, and a fourth electrical connection part 44. Specifically, the control component includes a first electronic unit (not shown) disposed within the frame 1, a second electronic unit (not shown) disposed within the temple 2, and a third electronic unit (not shown) disposed within the connector 3. The first and second electronic units include, but are not limited to, one or more of a processor, an audio device, a cable, and a circuit board. In this embodiment, the third electronic unit is an FPC circuit board, which is thin, flexible, and bendable, and will not be damaged by repeated bending. There are two first electrical connection parts 41, respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the rear side of the frame 1, close to the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12, and the first electrical connection parts 41 are electrically connected to the first electronic unit. The second electrical connection parts 42 are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the left temple 21 and the right temple 22, and are electrically connected to the second electronic unit. When the smart glasses are unfolded, the third electrical connection part 43 and the fourth electrical connection part 44 are respectively disposed on the front end face of the first connector 31 facing the frame 1 and the end face of the second connector 32 facing the temple 2, and the third connection part 43 and the fourth connection part 44 are electrically connected to the third electronic unit. When the temple 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 through the connector 3, the first electrical connection part 41 is connected to the third electrical connection part 43, and the second electrical connection part 42 is connected to the fourth electrical connection part 44, so that an electrical connection is achieved between the frame 1, the connector 3 and the temple 2. In this embodiment, the first electrical connection part 41 and the second electrical connection part 42 can be electrode pins in the prior art, and the third connection part 43 and the fourth connection part 44 can be electrode sheets in the prior art to achieve electrical connection through contact. In other embodiments, the first connection part 41, the second connection part 42, the third connection part 43 and the fourth connection part 44 can also be other types of electrical connection terminals to achieve electrical connection through contact, and are not limited thereto.

[0044] Preferably, in the vertical direction, the first electrical connection part 41 is disposed between the two second screw holes 13, and the third connection part 43 is disposed between the two first screw holes 311, so that when the frame 1 is connected to the first connection part 31, the contact between the first electrical connection part 41 and the third electrical connection part 43 is more stable.

[0045] Furthermore, the smart glasses also include a quick-change battery 5. In this embodiment, the number of quick-change batteries 5 can be one to reduce the weight of the smart glasses. The quick-change battery 5 is disposed at the rear end of the left temple 21 and / or the right temple 22. The rear end of the left temple 21 and / or the right temple 22 is provided with a fifth electrical connection portion 45, which is electrically connected to the second electronic unit. Correspondingly, the quick-change battery 5 is provided with a sixth electrical connection portion 46. The contact between the fifth electrical connection portion 45 and the sixth electrical connection portion 46 enables an electrical connection between the quick-change battery 5 and the smart glasses to supply power to the smart glasses.

[0046] Preferably, the rear end of the left temple 21 and / or the right temple 22 connected to the quick-change battery 5 is further provided with a first magnetic element 211, and the end face of the quick-change battery 5 with the sixth electrical connection part 46 is further provided with a second magnetic element 51. The quick-change battery 5 and the left temple 21 are connected by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 211 and the second magnetic element 51, so as to facilitate the replacement of the quick-change battery and enhance the battery life of the smart glasses.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
