Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of smart glasses, and in particular to a charging capsule and AI glasses. Background Technology

[0002] As AI large language models gradually mature, some AI glasses products that do not focus on too many functions but combine lightweight design and practicality, and are aimed at end consumers, are gradually entering the public eye.

[0003] AI glasses, or artificial intelligence glasses, are smart wearable devices that integrate artificial intelligence technology. AI glasses are highly portable and have a user-friendly design. Worn on the face and intended for near-all-day use, they require no additional devices and their lightweight design does not impose a significant burden on the user.

[0004] The battery life of AI glasses is receiving increasing attention. Traditional AI glasses have batteries inside the temples and charging ports on the outside, and can be charged via wired or wireless charging. However, regardless of the charging method, the glasses need to be removed, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem of users being able to charge their AI glasses while wearing them, the purpose of this application is to provide a charging capsule and AI glasses.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a charging capsule, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Includes a protective case, battery, and charging contacts;

[0008] The protective shell has a plug-in structure for accommodating the end of the temple, and the protective shell is detachably connected to the temple through the plug-in structure;

[0009] The protective shell also has a battery compartment inside, and the battery is detachably installed in the battery compartment;

[0010] The charging contacts are located on the inner side of the plug-in structure, and the charging contacts are electrically connected to the battery through the charging and discharging module.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery and charging contacts are integrated into the protective shell. The charging capsule, detachably connected to the temples, can be installed on the temples while the user wears the AI ​​glasses, allowing the user to charge their eyes while wearing them. This avoids the need to remove the glasses to charge them when the battery is depleted, which leads to a poor user experience. Separating the battery from the glasses body prevents the glasses from becoming too heavy, improving wearing comfort. Furthermore, the contact-type electrical connection eliminates the need for plugging and unplugging interfaces, reducing the risk of wear and tear. The battery is removable, supporting independent replacement or upgrades.

[0012] Optionally, the insertion structure is a clamping hole, which provides clamping force when the temple is inserted, and the charging contact is located on the inner wall of the clamping hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping hole structure provides radial constraint force to ensure that the charging capsule is fixed at the end of the temple and prevents it from loosening and causing power failure during charging; the charging contacts are located on the inner wall of the clamping hole, and the charging docking end is automatically aligned after the temple is inserted, avoiding manual calibration; the detachable connection meets the needs of temporary charging.

[0014] Optionally, the insertion structure is a slot, the charging contact is located on the inner wall of the slot, and the slot is used to engage with the temple of the glasses.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the channel design allows for easy insertion and use of the temples, making operation more intuitive; the slot is more adaptable to non-cylindrical temples (such as flat ones), expanding design freedom.

[0016] Optionally, the charging contact is located on the bottom wall of the clamping hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is not necessary to position the temples. Simply insert the charging capsule into the temples, and the charging dock at the end of the temples will contact the charging contacts to charge the glasses, which is more convenient and faster.

[0018] Optionally, the side of the protective shell closest to the skin is an elastic surface, and the elastic surface is made of a skin-friendly material.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the elastic surface conforms to the contours of the skin, disperses pressure, and avoids the pressure of hard materials on the temporal region; the skin-friendly material increases friction, reduces eyeglass shift, and avoids skin allergies; the elastic material is breathable, alleviating the discomfort caused by battery heat.

[0020] Optionally, an elastic bushing is provided in the clamping hole, which is used to provide clamping force to fix the temple.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the bushing's elastic deformation adapts to different temple thicknesses, improving compatibility. It reduces friction between the temples and the hard outer shell, preventing scratches, and also prevents the temples from sliding and loosening within the clamping holes.

[0022] Optionally, the sidewall of the slot is provided with an outwardly extending elastic arm, which is used to elastically deform when the temple is inserted into the slot, thereby generating a clamping force to fix the temple.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible arm actively clamps the temples, eliminating the need for additional locking devices. The integrated flexible structure reduces the number of parts, lowers costs, and the flexible arm can accommodate temple size tolerances.

[0024] Optionally, both the contact surface of the charging contact and the contact surface of the charging dock are provided with magnetic attraction areas, which are used to generate magnetic attraction when the charging contact and the charging dock are close to each other to make them fit together.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic guide interface automatically aligns, solving the problem of difficult blind insertion. Magnetic attraction maintains a tight contact, resisting external pulling forces. Separation is achieved with minimal external force, preventing glasses from being pulled off in case of a trip, thus improving safety.

[0026] Optionally, the battery is a removable battery, which is set independently of the protective case, and the battery is provided with a charging port for charging.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, users can choose to charge the entire charging capsule or charge the battery individually, solving the pain points of outdoor charging. Hot-swap backup batteries enable "zero power outage" use. The charging capsule can be charged detached from the glasses, avoiding the glasses taking up unnecessary space. When the battery ages, only the battery needs to be replaced, reducing the need for complete device replacement and lowering long-term operating costs.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides an AI glasses solution, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0029] This includes a charging capsule for AI glasses, a frame, and temples hinged to both sides of the frame;

[0030] The charging capsule is detachably connected to the end of the temple via a plug-in structure;

[0031] The temple end is provided with a charging docking end, the position of which corresponds to the charging contact of the charging capsule, and the charging docking end and the charging contact are connected by contact electrical connection.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solutions, the detachable charging capsule and the plug-in structure at the end of the temple enable convenient modular battery replacement, significantly improving the device's battery life and continuous use. Its precisely corresponding contact-type electrical connection design ensures the reliability and durability of the charging dock, avoiding physical wear caused by frequent plugging and unplugging. At the same time, the structure of the integrated power supply path at the end optimizes the internal circuit layout, simplifies assembly and maintenance, and provides users with an intuitive and fast battery replacement experience. Ultimately, while maintaining the lightweight design of the glasses, the core power supply pain point of mobile smart glasses is solved.

[0033] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0034] 1. The modular battery capsule and plug-and-play design at the temple ends allow users to charge their AI glasses while wearing them, enabling the charging capsule to be detachably attached to the temples. This breaks down the traditional fixed battery into a detachable, independent energy unit. Users can carry a spare capsule for replacement, alleviating battery anxiety; the battery also supports independent charging, avoiding the constraints of charging the entire device. This design frees the glasses from the burden of a bulky battery, resulting in extremely lightweight temples that are virtually imperceptible when worn, while also significantly extending battery life.

[0035] 2. Addressing the pain points of prolonged eyeglass wear, the design incorporates a flexible, skin-friendly contact surface and an adaptive clamping structure. The contact area behind the ear uses a flexible material to distribute pressure and prevent indentations. The elastic bushings or slots within the clamping holes automatically adapt to different temple sizes, maintaining stability even during vigorous activity. The magnetic charging docking point further simplifies the installation process, enabling precise "blind" docking through magnetic guidance, allowing the high-load AI glasses to achieve the comfort of ordinary eyeglasses.

[0036] 3. The mechanical locking of the clamping holes / slots provides support, while the elastic structure compensates for manufacturing tolerances; the magnetic contacts not only achieve self-alignment of the electrical connection but also form redundant protection; the charging contacts are hidden at the bottom of the structure to prevent accidental contact by external forces. This design ensures zero power interruption for the glasses in dynamic scenarios such as running and bending over, providing a guarantee for the AI ​​glasses and significantly improving product reliability.

[0049] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] This application discloses a charging capsule, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a protective case 3, a battery 4, and charging contacts 5. The protective case 3 has a plug-in structure for accommodating the ends of the temples 1, allowing the protective case 3 to be detachably connected to the temples 1 via the plug-in structure. This enables users to charge their glasses while wearing them, avoiding the need to remove the glasses for charging when the AI ​​glasses run out of power, which would otherwise result in a poor user experience.

[0052] The protective case 3 also houses a battery compartment, where the battery 4 is located. This compartment features a detachable design and portable charging capability. Charging contacts 5 are located on the inner side of the protective case 3. These contacts are electrically connected to the battery 4 via a charging / discharging module and form a contact-type electrical connection with the charging docking terminal 11 on the temple 1. The charging / discharging module acts as a control panel, connecting the battery 4 and the charging contacts 5. The charging contacts 5 then abut against the charging docking terminal 11 to form a current channel, supplying power to the glasses.

[0053] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2The insertion structure consists of a circular or square clamping hole 31, with charging contacts 5 located on the inner wall of the clamping hole 31. The end of the temple 1 is inserted into the clamping hole 31 and fixed by the friction of the elastic bushing 32. The elastic bushing 32 also deforms under pressure to provide radial clamping force, further improving the fixing effect. At the same time, the elasticity allows the clamping hole 31 to adapt to temples 1 of different sizes and to position the temple 1, facilitating contact between the charging contacts 5 on the inner wall of the clamping hole 31 and the charging docking end 11 on the side of the temple 1. This prevents the charging contacts 5 from misaligning and disconnecting from the charging docking end 11 during movement or under external force, thus preventing the charging from continuing. The elastic bushing 32 inside the clamping hole 31 also reduces frictional resistance, reduces wear and malfunctions of the temple 1, and increases the service life of the temple 1.

[0054] The main material of the elastic bushing 32 is rubber. Rubber bushings have good elasticity and wear resistance, making them suitable for applications requiring cushioning and shock absorption.

[0055] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 The charging contact 5 is located on the inner wall side of the plug-in structure of the protective shell 3, and its contact surface is a conductive metal sheet (such as copper alloy). The charging docking end 11 is located on the side of the temple 1, corresponding to the position of the charging contact 5. Magnets (such as neodymium magnets) are embedded in the contact surfaces of the charging contact 5 and the charging docking end 11, so that the contact surfaces form a magnetic attraction area 6. When the charging contact 5 and the charging docking end 11 are close together, they will automatically attract and align, solving the difficulty of blind insertion and ensuring a stable electrical connection.

[0056] Similarly, refer to Figure 3 Alternatively, the charging contact 5 can be located at the bottom of the inner wall of the plug-in structure of the protective shell 3. In this case, the charging docking end 11 corresponds to the position of the charging contact 5 and is set on the bottom surface of the end of the temple 1. The bottom design eliminates the need to position the temple 1. Simply insert the charging capsule into the temple 1, and the charging docking end 11 at the end of the temple 1 will contact the charging contact 5, thereby charging the glasses, which is more convenient and faster.

[0057] Furthermore, the side of the protective case 3 closest to the skin is an elastic surface, and this elastic surface is made of a skin-friendly material. The elastic surface conforms to the contours of the skin, distributing pressure and preventing hard materials from pressing on the temples; the skin-friendly material increases friction, reducing eyeglass shift and preventing skin allergies; the elastic material is breathable, alleviating discomfort caused by the heat generated by the battery 4.

[0058] Skin-friendly materials typically use elastic silicone or Si-TPV to enhance wearing comfort. Si-TPV is an organosilicon thermoplastic elastomer with a silky feel. Micron-sized silicone rubber particles form tiny protrusions on the continuous phase TPU surface, giving the material a unique feel different from silicone rubber and TPU. It also has good resistance to high and low temperatures, chemical resistance, and high resilience, while maintaining the mechanical strength and biocompatibility of TPU.

[0059] Furthermore, battery 4 is a standardized battery 4 (such as lithium polymer battery 4), independently installed inside the protective casing 3, and is removable and replaceable, see reference. Figure 2 The protective case 3 has a cover 34 that can be opened, revealing a battery compartment 4 inside. When the battery 4 is damaged or depleted and needs replacement, one end of the cover 34 is hinged to the protective case 3, allowing the protective case 3 to be opened like a flip cover. The battery 4 to be replaced can be removed, and a new battery 4 can be installed. After replacing the battery 4, the cover 34 is closed magnetically. The battery 4 has an independent charging port (such as a Type-C interface), supporting charging independently or through the protective case 3. The battery 4 is connected to the charging contacts 5 inside the protective case 3 via wires, forming a power supply circuit.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In addition to the charging capsule, the AI ​​glasses of this application also include a frame 2 and temples 1 hinged to both sides of the frame 2. The charging capsule is detachably connected to the end of the temple 1 via a plug-in structure. This plug-in structure between the detachable charging capsule and the end of the temple 1 enables convenient replacement of the modular battery 4, significantly improving the device's battery life and continuous use. The end of the temple 1 is provided with a charging docking terminal 11, the position of which corresponds to the charging contact 5 of the charging capsule. When the charging capsule is installed at the end of the temple 1, the charging contact 5 and the charging docking terminal 11 form a contact electrical connection, constituting a power supply path from the battery 4 to the internal circuitry of the temple 1. The precisely corresponding contact electrical connection design ensures the reliability and durability of the charging docking terminal 11, avoiding physical wear caused by frequent plugging and unplugging.

[0061] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The end of the temple 1 is inserted into the clamping hole 31 of the protective shell 3 until the charging contact 5 contacts the charging docking end 11. The elastic bushing 32 generates a clamping force to fix the temple 1 and maintain the electrical connection. The magnetic design allows the charging contact 5 to automatically adhere to the charging docking end 11. The battery 4 supplies power to the temple 1 through the charging contact 5 of the protective shell 3 to maintain the operation of the AI ​​glasses. When the battery 4 is depleted, it can be removed and charged through an independent charging port, or a spare battery 4 can be directly replaced. Pulling out the temple 1 separates the charging capsule. Opening the cover 34 of the protective shell 3 allows the battery 4 to be removed for replacement or charging.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] This application discloses a charging capsule, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that the plug-in structure of the protective shell 3 is different.

[0064] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The protective shell 3 has an open slot 33 for insertion, which forms a channel for the sliding insertion of the temple 1. The charging contact 5 is located on the inner side of the slot 33. The temple 1 slides into the slot 33 from the side. The slot 33 includes an elastic extension, which is an elastic arm 331 extending outward from the side wall of the slot 33. The elastic arm 331 (such as an elastic metal sheet or plastic spring) deforms to generate a clamping force to fix the temple 1. The charging contact 5 contacts and conducts electricity with the charging docking end 11 at the bottom of the temple 1. The channel design allows the temple 1 to be used immediately after being pushed in, making the operation more intuitive. At the same time, the slot 33 is more adaptable to non-cylindrical temples 1 (such as flat ones), expanding the design freedom.

[0065] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Insert the end of the temple 1 into the slot 33 of the protective shell 3 until the charging contact 5 contacts the charging docking end 11. The elastic arm 331 generates a clamping force to fix the temple 1 and maintain the electrical connection. The magnetic design allows the charging contact 5 to automatically adhere to the charging docking end 11. Sliding the temple 1 outwards separates the charging capsule. Opening the cover 34 of the protective shell 3 allows the battery 4 to be removed for replacement or charging.

[0066] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
