Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a buffer structure for swimming goggles, which optimizes the design of the buffer element set in the swimming goggles to improve wearing comfort. Background Technology

[0002] Swimming goggles are a common piece of equipment for swimming, and their main functions are to provide clear vision and prevent water from entering the eye area. Traditional swimming goggles typically use cushioning elements along the edges of the frame to fit snugly against the skin to create a water-repellent effect.

[0003] Please see Figure 1 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of an existing buffer element 10. As shown, the buffer element 10 includes a connecting portion 11 and a water-blocking portion 12. The connecting portion 11 extends linearly along one side and forms the water-blocking portion 12 at its end. The water-blocking portion 12 is skirt-shaped, with its end extending outward. In use, the water-blocking portion 12 can conform to the skin surface around the eyes. When external pressure is applied towards the eyes, the water-blocking portion 12 is squeezed and deformed, thereby generating negative pressure inside the buffer element 10 to achieve a water-blocking effect.

[0004] However, because the direction of force on the cushioning element 10 is consistent with the extension direction of the connecting part 11 when force is applied, the area around the eyes directly bears the pressure from the connecting part 11. Prolonged wear may cause discomfort and affect the user's comfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention adopts a non-linear buffer section design, which allows it to undergo elastic deformation under stress, effectively dispersing pressure, reducing pressure around the eyes, and improving comfort.

[0006] Therefore, the swimming goggle cushioning structure of this utility model includes a body. The body includes a goggle connecting portion and a cushioning portion; the goggle connecting portion is used to connect a swimming goggle; the cushioning portion sequentially includes a connecting segment, a cushioning segment and a fitting segment; the connecting segment connects the goggle connecting portion and the cushioning segment; the cushioning segment is non-linearly arranged and extends in a direction relative to the goggle connecting portion, and a compression space is defined on the inner side of the cushioning segment; the fitting segment is formed on the outer side of the cushioning segment relative to the connecting segment, and is used to adhere to the surface of a user's skin.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the body is flexible, ring-shaped, and defines an axis within the ring. The body defines the goggle connection portion and the buffer portion at opposite ends along the axis, respectively.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a three-dimensional texture is provided on all or part of the outer surface of the substrate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a three-dimensional texture is provided on all or part of the inner surface of the body.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the three-dimensional texture is composed of a plurality of grooves arranged in a continuous row.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the substrate has one or more thickness reduction zones.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the inner surface of the body has one or more thickness reduction zones.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the goggle connection portion is detachably or integrally connected to the goggle.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the buffer section protrudes, and the inner side of the buffer section contracts accordingly to define the compression space.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer section is in the shape of a single arc.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer segment is formed by two intersecting arcs, and the intersecting endpoints are curved and converging.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the body has one or more uniform thickness deformation zones, which are formed by the outer surface of the body protruding and the inner surface corresponding to the outer surface being concave.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the body has one or more uniform thickness deformation zones, which are formed by the concavity of the outer surface of the body and the protrusion of the inner surface corresponding to the outer surface.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the inner surface of the body is provided with a support structure, which includes a plurality of ribs.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, these ribs are located in the buffer section and are respectively connected between the connecting section and the mating section.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the inner surface of the body is provided with a support structure, the support structure including a particle surface layer.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the bonding segment has a bonding surface.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the compression space is provided with an inner extension.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When wearing these swimming goggles, with the goggles securely fixed to the head, the fitting section adheres tightly to the skin surface around the eyes, achieving a water-repellent effect. Furthermore, due to the non-linear design of the cushioning section, it can elastically deform when subjected to external compression, squeezing the compression space and effectively absorbing external force. Therefore, the cushioning section possesses good elasticity, which not only reduces the pressure directly borne around the eyes but also improves wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0054] First Embodiment

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the swimming goggle cushioning structure 20 of this utility model includes at least one body 30, which is flexible and ring-shaped. Figure 3 As shown, the swimming goggle cushioning structure 20 of this utility model defines an axial direction A1 within the annular shape, and the body 30 defines (which can be determined according to...) at its opposite ends along the axial direction A1. Figure 3 (Bounded by the dividing line B1) – a goggle connection part 40 and a buffer part 50.

[0056] like Figure 4As shown, the goggle connecting portion 40 connects to a goggle 60 (only a portion of the goggle 60 is shown in the figure). In one embodiment, the goggle connecting portion 40 and the goggle 60 are detachably connected. This detachable connection uses methods including, but not limited to, latches, buckles, and press-fitting to connect and fix the goggle connecting portion 40 and the goggle 60. In other embodiments, the goggle connecting portion 40 and the goggle 60 can also be integrally connected. This integral connection uses methods including, but not limited to, dual-material injection molding, ultrasonic welding, chemical bonding, or thermoplastic welding to tightly connect the goggle connecting portion 40 and the goggle 60.

[0057] Please see Figure 5 ,according to Figure 1 The line segment AA is used to illustrate a cross-sectional view of the buffer portion 50 of the swimming goggle buffer structure 20 of this utility model. (See diagram below.) Figure 5 As shown, the buffer portion 50 is sheet-like, sequentially defining a connecting segment 51, a buffer segment 52, and a fitting segment 53. The connecting segment 51 connects the goggle connecting portion 40 and the buffer segment 52 to provide a structural connection. The buffer segment 52 extends in a direction relative to the goggle connecting portion 40, and its shape is non-linear. Because the non-linear design can change shape under force (e.g., expand, contract, or return to its original shape), it can produce elastic deformation when subjected to external compression or stretching, thus giving the buffer segment 52 good elasticity, thereby effectively absorbing external force and providing a cushioning effect. It is worth mentioning that the longer the length L1 of the buffer segment 52 extending in the direction relative to the goggle connecting portion 40, the better the cushioning effect. The fitting segment 53 is formed on the outer side of the buffer segment 52, and its outer side is flat relative to the outer side of the buffer segment 52, suitable for adhering to the skin surface. Furthermore, the non-linear configuration of the buffer section 52 is further defined as having a bulge on the outside, which can present different shapes, such as arcs or other variations, while its inner side contracts to define a compression space 54.

[0058] The first embodiment can have multiple states. The following diagrams illustrate the non-linear design states of multiple buffer segments 52.

[0059] First state example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the buffer section 52 is formed by two intersecting arcs, and the endpoints of the intersecting arcs exhibit a relatively smooth curved and converging shape. This design makes the outer surface of the buffer section 52 smoother, reducing water resistance during swimming.

[0060] Second state sample, such as Figure 6A As shown, the main difference between this state and the first state is that the buffer section 52 is a single arc shape with a continuous and smooth outline.

[0061] Third state, such as Figure 6BAs shown, the buffer section 52 of the original sample is also arc-shaped. The main difference between it and the second sample is that the arc of the original sample is smaller than that of the second sample, which makes the compression space 54 smaller.

[0062] Third state, such as Figure 6C As shown, the buffer section 52 of the original sample is also arc-shaped. The main difference between it and the second sample is that the arc of the original sample is larger than that of the second sample, resulting in a wider range of curve extension of the buffer section 52 and a larger range of compression space 54.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, when wearing the swimming goggles 60, the ring-shaped body 30 surrounds the eyes. When the goggles 60 are securely fixed to the head, the fitting section 53 adheres tightly to the skin surface around the eyes to achieve a water-repellent effect. Furthermore, because the cushioning section 52 has a non-linear design, it can elastically deform when compressed by external force, squeezing the compression space 54 and effectively absorbing external force. Therefore, the cushioning section 52 has good elasticity, which not only reduces the pressure directly on the area around the eyes but also improves wearing comfort.

[0064] Second Embodiment

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, the main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the outer surface 301 of the body 30 is provided with a three-dimensional texture 70. Specifically, the three-dimensional texture 70 is composed of a plurality of continuously arranged grooves 71. In this embodiment, the three-dimensional texture 70 is formed on the outer surface 301 of the goggle connecting part 40 and the connecting section 51, which is used to increase structural support and strengthen the structural strength between the goggle connecting part 40 and the connecting section 51, thereby improving stability when wearing the goggle cushioning structure 20. In other embodiments, the three-dimensional texture 70 may also be provided on the cushioning section 52, the fitting section 53, or the inner surface 302 of the body 30. Whether the three-dimensional texture 70 is provided in all or part of the outer surface 301 of the body 30 or in all or part of the inner surface 302, it falls within the scope of the three-dimensional texture 70 of this embodiment.

[0066] The second embodiment also has another form, such as Figure 9A As shown, its three-dimensional texture 70 is also composed of multiple continuously arranged grooves 71. In this embodiment, as... Figure 9B As shown, the three-dimensional texture 70 is formed on the outer surface 301 of the bonding section 53. The groove 71 of the bonding section 53 is more easily deformed under pressure and can locally adsorb skin texture, which may produce a weak negative pressure adsorption effect, which helps to improve stability.

[0067] Third Embodiment

[0068] like Figure 10AAs shown, the main difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the outer surface 301 of the body 30 is provided with multiple thickness reduction regions 80. Specifically, as... Figure 10B As shown, the thickness reduction area 80 is formed by a recess in the outer surface 301, making its thickness thinner. In this embodiment, the thickness reduction area 80 is formed on the outer surface 301 of the buffer section 52. During use, the buffer section 52 undergoes elastic deformation when compressed by external force, and the thickness reduction area 80 deforms more significantly, allowing the fitting section 53 to fit more closely to the skin surface around the eyes. Therefore, the design of the thickness reduction area 80 allows specific parts of the body 30 to deform accordingly to various facial contours, making it suitable for various face shapes. In other embodiments, the thickness reduction area 80 can also be provided on the outer surface 301 of any of the swimming goggle connecting part 40, connecting section 51, or fitting section 53, or on the inner surface 302 of the body 30. Whether the thickness reduction area 80 is provided in all or part of the outer surface 301 of the body 30, or in all or part of the inner surface 302, it falls within the scope of the thickness reduction area 80 in this embodiment.

[0069] Fourth embodiment

[0070] like Figure 11A As shown, the main difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the outer surface 301 of the body 30 is provided with multiple uniform thickness deformation zones 90. Specifically, as... Figure 11B As shown, the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 protrudes from the outer surface 301 and is recessed into the corresponding inner surface 302, causing the body 30 to have surface unevenness under the condition of uniform thickness. This design can increase the deformation of the body 30, allowing the fitting section 53 to fit more closely to the skin surface around the eyes. In this embodiment, the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 is formed on the outer surface 301 and inner surface 302 of the connecting section 51, and on the outer surface 301 and inner surface 302 of the buffer section 52. In other embodiments, the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 can also be provided on the outer surface 301 and inner surface 302 of either the goggle connecting part 40 or the fitting section 53. Whether the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 is provided in all or part of the outer surface 301 or the inner surface 302 of the body 30, it falls within the scope of the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 in this embodiment.

[0071] The fourth embodiment also has another form, such as Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the uniform thickness deformation zone 90 is formed by the concavity of the outer surface 301 and the protrusion of the corresponding inner surface 302, so that the body 30 produces a surface unevenness under the condition of uniform thickness.

[0072] Fifth Embodiment

[0073] like Figure 13AAs shown, the main difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the inner surface 302 of the buffer section 52 is provided with a support structure 55. Specifically, as... Figure 13B As shown, the support structure 55 is composed of multiple ribs 551, each rib 551 located on the inner surface 302 of the buffer section 52 and connected between the connecting section 51 and the fitting section 53. Each rib 551 increases structural support, thereby improving the structural strength of the buffer section 52. In other embodiments, the support structure 55 may also be provided on the goggle connection portion 40, the connecting section 51, the fitting section 53, or the outer surface 301 of the body 30. Whether the support structure 55 is provided in all or part of the outer surface 301 of the body 30, or in all or part of the inner surface 302, it falls within the scope of the support structure 55 of this embodiment.

[0074] The fifth embodiment also has another form, such as Figure 14A As shown, the support structure 55 is composed of a particle surface layer 552, which is annular, as... Figure 14B As shown, its surface has a granular protruding structure, and the granular surface layer 552 can be lined within the inner surface 302 of the buffer section 52, so that the granular protruding structure is exposed in the compression space 54. The granular surface layer 552 can increase the structural support, thereby improving the structural strength of the buffer section 52.

[0075] Sixth Embodiment

[0076] like Figure 15A As shown, the main difference between the sixth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the bonding segment 53 is provided with a bonding surface 531. Specifically, as Figure 15B As shown, the bonding surface 531 is annular, which increases the area that adheres to the skin surface and can effectively prevent water seepage.

[0077] Seventh Embodiment

[0078] like Figure 16 As shown, the main difference between the seventh embodiment and the first embodiment is that the compression space 54 is provided with an inner extension section 56. Specifically, the inner extension section 56 extends from the inner surface 302 of the connecting section 51 toward the compression space 54. When the buffer section 52 is compressed by an external force and squeezes the compression space 54, the inner extension section 56 can abut against the inner side of the fitting section 53 to prevent excessive deformation of the compression space 54. In other embodiments, the inner extension section 56 may also extend from the inner surface 302 of the buffer section 52.
