Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart glasses technology, specifically to a smart glasses temple. Background Technology

[0002] Smart glasses are wearable head-mounted devices that integrate advanced computing technology, optical display, and sensing systems. While resembling traditional glasses in appearance, their core mission is to become intelligent gateways connecting the digital and physical worlds. They achieve an experience called "augmented reality (AR)" by overlaying virtual information, images, or interactive interfaces onto the user's field of vision, seamlessly blending real and digital content. Their core hardware typically includes a micro-projector and waveguide lenses to project images directly onto the user's eyes; a camera to perceive the environment; built-in microphones and speakers for voice interaction; and integrated processors, sensors (such as gyroscopes and accelerometers), and batteries to support independent computing. Functionally, they far surpass traditional glasses, enabling real-time information display (such as navigation routes and message notifications), first-person video recording, real-time language translation, immersive gaming and training experiences, and even providing engineers with visual operating guides in industrial maintenance. However, their development also faces significant challenges such as short battery life, wearing comfort, privacy and security concerns, and the development of an application ecosystem. Ultimately, the vision for smart glasses is to evolve into a hands-free, highly context-aware next-generation personal computing platform, designed to enhance human perception and cognition more naturally and efficiently, reshaping the way we work, live, and connect.

[0003] Currently, most powerful smart glasses have relatively thick temples to accommodate batteries, processors, projection modules, etc., making them quite heavy. Prolonged wear can put significant pressure on the ears and bridge of the nose, leading to fatigue. Traditional glasses distribute their weight evenly across the nose pads and ears, while almost all the extra weight of smart glasses is concentrated in the rear half of the temples, resulting in a severely top-heavy design. This transfers all the pressure to the top of the ears, creating a distinct pressure point, which can cause noticeable pain and pressure after prolonged wear. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a smart glasses temple that offers advantages such as comfortable wear and even pressure distribution, thus solving the problem of discomfort when wearing smart glasses.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned goals of comfortable wearing and even pressure distribution, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a smart eyeglass temple, comprising a temple body and a cushioning bladder. The temple body has an auricular groove at the corresponding position of the wearer's ear, and a cushioning bladder filled with gas is provided inside the auricular groove. Deformation grooves are provided at both ends of the auricular groove. When the temple body is worn, the temple body as a whole is affected by gravity, and the cushioning bladder and the wearer's ear are squeezed against each other, causing the gas inside the cushioning bladder to flow to both sides and deform. The cushioning bladder protrudes from the deformation groove and wraps around the contour of the wearer's ear.

[0008] The buffer capsule is divided into at least three layers by capsule septa.

[0009] The spacing between the capsule septa is uneven.

[0010] The capsule is equipped with a separating membrane flap, which divides each layer inside the buffer capsule into a middle air chamber and a side air chamber, and the gas in the middle air chamber and the side air chamber can flow between each other.

[0011] The buffer capsule is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a smart eyeglass temple with the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The temples of these smart glasses, under the influence of gravity, compress the cushioning sacs within the ear grooves, forcing them into contact with and compressing the ear. The gas within the sacs then flows towards the less pressured deformation grooves on either side, causing them to bulge outwards. This deformation process instantly transforms the rigid pressure that might have been concentrated at a single point on the ear into a large-area, soft, enveloping support, greatly improving wearing comfort and preventing pressure pain. Furthermore, this adaptive deformation actively "embraces" the wearer's ear contour, significantly enhancing the glasses' stability and anti-slip capability, maintaining stability even during user movement or head shaking. Secondly, this design cleverly achieves a systematic mechanical balance. The intentional deformation of the cushioning capsule allows for a slight, controllable downward movement of the temples. This action simultaneously guides the nose pads at the frame end to make fuller contact with the bridge of the nose, thus intelligently transferring some of the weight that was originally borne solely by the ears to the more robust bridge of the nose. This creates an efficient balance where the ears and nose share the weight, fundamentally alleviating the ear fatigue problem most common when wearing smart glasses for extended periods. Because the airflow and the deformation of the capsule can adapt to various ear shapes and sizes, it provides a consistent and comfortable experience for different users. It also provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, effectively protecting the delicate electronic components inside the temples from impacts and vibrations during daily use.

[0015] 2. The temples of these smart glasses have unevenly spaced compartments, which pre-sets the priority and deformation gradient of gas flow. When the temples are pressed down, the buffer compartments first contact the highest point in the middle of the auricle, and the pressure first acts on the middle air chamber. Due to the presence of the separating membrane flaps, the gas does not rush to the farthest point in an instantaneous and disorderly manner, but flows slowly and in a controlled manner through the membrane flaps to the adjacent side air chambers. This controlled flow allows deformation to extend smoothly and sequentially from the contact core area to the surrounding areas, as if an invisible hand is segmenting and wrapping the ear. This completely avoids localized bulges or abrupt pressure caused by sudden gas displacement, resulting in a final support shape that perfectly conforms to the complex curves of the auricle, evenly distributing pressure across the entire contact surface. Secondly, this structure provides excellent stability and anti-shaking capability. The uneven septa and compartmentalized design are equivalent to constructing multiple interconnected "small air chambers" within the ear canal. When head movement generates lateral or torsional forces, these forces are transmitted to the ear canal, attempting to cause gas movement. At this point, the septa and compartments act as dampers, effectively suppressing and absorbing the violent gas movement. The shaking process converts kinetic energy into minute internal molecular friction, significantly reducing the displacement and jitter of the glasses during movement. This ensures the stability of integrated electronic components (such as cameras and speakers) and significantly improves comfort during extended wear. Because the phased pressure release prevents any single area from continuously bearing high pressure, it greatly delays the onset of fatigue and enhances the product's versatility and adaptability. The intelligent and orderly deformation mode can more tolerantly adapt to various ear shapes of different widths and thicknesses, providing an excellent experience for different users. At the same time, this complex internal partition structure also plays a high-level shock absorption role, providing multi-level buffer protection for the delicate electronic components inside the temples, improving the product's reliability and durability.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 A type of smart glasses temple includes a temple body 1 and a cushioning bladder 2. The temple body 1 has an auricular groove 11 at the position corresponding to the wearer's ear. The auricular groove 11 contains a cushioning bladder 2 filled with gas. The auricular groove 11 has deformation grooves 12 at both ends. When the temple body 1 is worn, the weight increases because most of the electronic components are installed in the temple body 1. The temple body 1 is affected by gravity, and the cushioning bladder 2 is squeezed against the wearer's ear. This causes the gas inside the cushioning bladder 2 to flow to both sides and deform. The cushioning bladder 2 protrudes from the deformation grooves 12 and wraps around the contour of the wearer's ear. At the same time, due to the deformation of the cushioning bladder 2, the glasses move down as a whole, and the nose pad of the frame also moves down at the same time, increasing the support of the wearer's nose for the glasses and relieving ear pressure.

[0022] The buffer capsule 2 is divided into at least three layers by capsule partitions 21. The intervals between the capsule partitions 21 are uneven. Each capsule partition 21 is provided with a separating flap 22. The separating flap 22 divides each layer of the buffer capsule 2 into a middle air chamber 201 and a side air chamber 202. The gas in the middle air chamber 201 and the side air chamber 202 can flow between each other.

[0023] The buffer capsule 2 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.

[0024] Working principle: The temple body 1 is provided with an auricular groove 11 at the position corresponding to the wearer's ear. The auricular groove 11 is provided with a cushioning bladder 2 filled with gas. The auricular groove 11 has deformation grooves 12 at both ends. When the temple body 1 is worn, since most of the electronic components are installed in the temple body 1, its weight increases. The temple body 1 is affected by gravity. The cushioning bladder 2 and the wearer's ear are squeezed against each other, causing the gas inside the cushioning bladder 2 to flow to both sides and deform. The cushioning bladder 2 protrudes from the deformation groove 12 and wraps around the contour of the wearer's ear. At the same time, due to the deformation of the cushioning bladder 2, the glasses move down as a whole, and the nose pad of the frame also moves down at the same time, which increases the support of the wearer's nose on the glasses and relieves the pressure on the ear.
