[0061] Figure 9 This is a flowchart of the assembly method of the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 10This is a schematic diagram showing the spring piece 43 of the second hinge 40 of the first embodiment of this utility model moving inward along the sliding groove 21 of the temples 20, 20A. This utility model provides a method for assembling smart glasses that utilizes a sliding hinge for quick assembly and disassembly, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step S110, as follows Figure 9 As shown, and please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Two control devices 50 and 51 are respectively disposed on two temples 20 and 20A. Multiple electronic devices are respectively disposed on the temples 20 and 20A and electrically connected to the control devices 50 and 51. Two first hinges 30 are respectively disposed on two ends of a frame 10, and two pivot parts 42 on the inner side of a body 41 of two second hinges 40 are pivotally disposed on the first hinges 30. Specifically, the electronic device includes an image acquisition unit 61, a light source 62, four microphones 631 and 632, two earphones 641 and 642, two speakers 651 and 652, two communication units 661 and 662, and two slide switches 671 and 672.

The light source 62, two microphones 632, earphones 642, speaker 652, communication unit 662, and slide switch 672 are disposed on the temple 20A and electrically connected to the control device 51.

[0063] Step S120, as follows Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, and please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 Two spring pieces 43 at one end of the body 41 of the second hinge 40 move inward along a groove 21 of the temples 20, 20A until two second joints 44 on one side of the spring pieces 43 are respectively fixed to a first joint 211 at the top of the groove 21 and a first joint 211 at the bottom of the groove 21.

[0064] Figure 11 This is a flowchart of the disassembly method of the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram showing the spring piece 43 of the second hinge 40 of the first embodiment of this utility model moving outward along the sliding groove 21 of the temples 20, 20A. This utility model provides a method for disassembling smart glasses that utilizes a sliding hinge for quick assembly and disassembly, comprising the following steps:

[0065] Step S210, as follows Figure 11 As shown, and please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Two control devices 50 and 51 are respectively disposed on two temples 20 and 20A. Multiple electronic devices are respectively disposed on the temples 20 and 20A and electrically connected to the control devices 50 and 51. Two first hinges 30 are respectively disposed on two ends of a frame 10, and two pivot parts 42 on the inner side of a body 41 of two second hinges 40 are pivotally disposed on the first hinges 30. Specifically, the electronic device includes an image acquisition unit 61, a light source 62, four microphones 631 and 632, two earphones 641 and 642, two speakers 651 and 652, two communication units 661 and 662, and two slide switches 671 and 672. The image acquisition unit 61, two microphones 631, earphones 641, speaker 651, communication unit 661, and slide switch 671 are disposed on the temple 20 and electrically connected to the control device 50. The light source 62, two microphones 632, earphones 642, speaker 652, communication unit 662, and slide switch 672 are disposed on the temple 20A and electrically connected to the control device 51.

[0066] Step S220, as follows Figure 11 As shown, and please refer to Figure 2 Two spring pieces 43 at one end of the body 41 of the second hinge 40 move outward along a groove 21 of the temples 20 and 20A. At the same time, two second joints 44 on one side of the spring pieces 43 disengage from a first joint 211 at the top of the groove 21 and a first joint 211 at the bottom of the groove 21, until the second hinge 40 separates from the temples 20 and 20A.

[0067] Therefore, this utility model arranges the control devices 50, 51 and the electronic devices on the temples 20, 20A. The wiring between the control devices 50, 51 and the electronic devices is only located inside the temples 20, 20A and does not pass through the first hinge 30, the second hinge 40 and the frame 10, thereby achieving the following effects: First, the spring pieces 43 of the second hinge 40 move inward in the grooves 21 of the temples 20, 20A. Alternatively, it can move outward, and the second connecting parts 44 of the spring pieces 43 can be fixed to or detached from the first connecting parts 211 of the slide groove 21, so that the frame 10 can be connected or separated from the temples 20, 20A through the second hinges 40, without being restricted by the circuit; secondly, the circuit is simple, easy to assemble, and reduces manufacturing costs; thirdly, during the process of the temples 20, 20A unfolding or folding relative to the frame 10, the circuit will not be pulled, and the circuit will not short-circuit or have poor contact.

[0068] Furthermore, when the rechargeable batteries 70 are depleted, the user can open the cover 80 and remove the rechargeable batteries 70 from the battery slot 22 to recharge them. Therefore, the user can still wear the smart glasses of this invention while charging.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that users can also prepare two spare rechargeable batteries (not shown in the figure). When these rechargeable batteries 70 are depleted, the user can open the cover 80, remove the rechargeable batteries 70 from the battery slot 22, and then place the spare rechargeable batteries into the battery slot 22. Therefore, the smart glasses of this invention are equipped with four rechargeable batteries that can be used in rotation, ensuring continuous power at all times.

[0070] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, each first joint 211 is a through hole, and each second joint 44 is a protrusion. More specifically, in step S120, because the spring sheet 43 is elastic, as the spring sheet 43 moves inward along the slide groove 21, the protrusions abut against the top and bottom of the slide groove 21 and squeeze the spring sheet 43, causing the spring sheet 43 to bend and deform slightly; when the protrusions are aligned with the through holes, the spring sheet 43 recovers its original shape through its elasticity, so that the protrusions are fixed in the through holes. More specifically, in step S220, because the spring pieces 43 are elastic, as the spring pieces 43 move outward along the slide groove 21, the protrusions abut against the top and bottom of the slide groove 21 respectively and squeeze the spring pieces 43, causing the spring pieces 43 to bend and deform slightly; when the second hinges 40 separate from the temples 20, 20A respectively, the spring pieces 43 restore their original shape through their elasticity.

[0071] In some embodiments, each first joint 211 may also be a protrusion, and each second joint 44 may also be a through hole. More specifically, in step S120, because the spring piece 43 is elastic, as the spring piece 43 moves inward along the slide groove 21, the protrusions respectively press the spring piece 43, causing the spring piece 43 to bend and deform slightly; when the protrusions align with the through holes, the spring piece 43 recovers its original shape through its elastic force, so that the protrusions are fixed in the through holes. More specifically, in step S220, because the spring piece 43 is elastic, as the spring piece 43 moves outward along the slide groove 21, the protrusions respectively press the spring piece 43, causing the spring piece 43 to bend and deform slightly; when the second hinges 40 separate from the temples 20, 20A respectively, the spring piece 43 recovers its original shape through its elastic force.

[0072] In some embodiments, a through hole may be replaced by a groove.

[0073] Preferably, the bump is hemispherical. The surface of the hemispherical bump is smoother, making it easier to enter and exit through holes or grooves.

[0074] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, a retaining wall 212 protrudes from the outer side of the top of the slide groove 21, and a retaining wall 212 protrudes from the outer side of the bottom of the slide groove 21. The outer surfaces of the spring pieces 43 of each second hinge 40 abut against the inner surfaces of the retaining walls 212 of the slide groove 21. Therefore, during the movement of the spring pieces 43 along the slide groove 21, the retaining walls 212 can restrict the spring pieces 43 and prevent the second hinges 40 from falling out of the openings on the inner side of the slide groove 21. Furthermore, after the second connecting parts 44 are fixed to the first connecting parts 211, the retaining walls 212 can restrict the spring pieces 43 and prevent the second hinges 40 from pivoting relative to the temples 20 and 20A.

[0075] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between communication units 661 and 662 and mobile phone 100 according to the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 13 As shown, and please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The communication units 661 and 662 are connected to the mobile phone 100, and the user can operate the electronic devices through the mobile phone 100.

[0076] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the image acquisition unit 61 of the first embodiment of this utility model taking pictures or capturing images, with the light source 62 emitting light. (See diagram below.) Figure 14 As shown, the image acquisition unit 61 can take photos or videos, and the light source 62 can be used as a light source for taking photos or videos, and the light source 62 can also be used as a flashlight.

[0077] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the speakers 651 and 652 playing sound according to the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 15 As shown, these speakers 651 and 652 can play sound.

[0078] Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of microphones 631 and 632 receiving sound according to the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 16 As shown, the microphones 631 and 632 can receive any sound and record and store audio files through the control device.

[0079] These headphones 641 and 642 (not shown) can be Bluetooth headphones or bone conduction headphones. For example... Figure 1 As shown, and please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The slide switches 671 and 672 are the switches for the headphones 641 and 642.

[0080] Figure 17 This is a perspective view of the second embodiment of this utility model. Figure 17 As shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the frame 10A. More specifically, by using the disassembly method described above to separate the second hinges 40 from the temples, the frame 10 immediately separates from the temples 20 and 20A. At this point, the user can take out another frame 10A and assemble the second hinges 40 onto the temples 20 and 20A using the assembly method described above, thus completing the replacement of the frame 10 and 10A. Therefore, this invention allows users to replace different frames 10 and 10A according to their actual needs to match the temples 20 and 20A of this invention. For example, a sunglasses frame paired with the temples 20 and 20A of this invention becomes smart sunglasses, a sports glasses frame paired with the temples 20 and 20A of this invention becomes smart sports glasses, and so on.

[0081] Figure 18 A perspective view of the third embodiment of this utility model. (See figure) Figure 18 As shown, the difference between the third embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the frame 10B is made of metal, and the first hinge 30 is welded to one end of the frame 10B.

[0082] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment for explaining the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications or changes made to the present utility model under the same spirit should still be included within the scope of protection intended by the present utility model.
