Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to eyeglasses, and more particularly to eyeglasses with replaceable temples. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeglasses are a combination of lenses and frames, used to improve vision, protect the eyes, or for decorative purposes. Their core structure typically includes a frame to support the lenses, nose pads connecting the two sides of the frame, and temples (also called temples or rims) to support the wearer behind the ears. Traditional eyeglasses often use a fixed connection between the temples and the frame, such as a permanent connection via hinges or a connection that cannot be easily disassembled.

[0003] However, given the differences in ear contours, head circumference, and wearing habits (such as sensitivity to pressure) among different users, fixed temples cannot accurately adapt to the comfort needs of all users. Furthermore, temples are one of the most easily damaged parts during the use of glasses. Common problems include bending and deformation, loose hinges, and wear or breakage of the ends (temple tips). In traditional designs, once the temples are damaged, the entire pair of glasses usually needs to be sent for repair, and the entire pair of glasses may even have to be replaced due to the inability to find original parts or the high cost of repair.

[0004] Therefore, how to make eyeglass temples replaceable to meet more usage needs and extend their overall service life has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a type of eyeglass with replaceable temples, which can be made possible by setting mounting sections of the same shape and size that can be detachably connected to corresponding mating sections.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a frame and a left temple and a right temple rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the frame. The length of the left temple and the right temple extends forward and backward. The shape and size of the left temple are the same as those of the right temple. The left temple includes a mating section and a mounting section. The mating section is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the mounting section and the mating section are detachably connected.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the mounting section protrudes forward and is provided with an insertion strip on the rear side of the mating section; the mating section is provided with an insertion groove corresponding to the insertion strip; the mating section includes an upper mounting part located above the insertion groove and a lower mounting part located below the insertion groove; a screw hole is provided below the insertion strip and a first through hole is provided in the lower mounting part corresponding to the screw hole; the upper mounting part is fastened and connected to the insertion strip.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the mating section is provided with a guide strip protruding inside the insertion groove, the guide strip extends in the front and back direction and is arranged in a horizontal T-shape, and the insertion strip is provided with a guide groove.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the lower mounting part also includes a plurality of second through holes located on the front and rear sides of the first through hole, and the shape and size of each second through hole are the same as those of the first through hole.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the mating section includes a hinge portion located on the left side of the upper mounting portion and the lower mounting portion, and a slot located between the hinge portion and the upper mounting portion; the lower part of the upper mounting portion is open and a positioning block is integrally formed in the middle; the positioning block is made of rubber; the insertion strip is provided with a plurality of positioning slots at intervals along the front-back direction corresponding to the positioning block; the positioning block is provided with a mating slot that is annular and recessed inward; and the insertion strip is provided with a mating block in each positioning slot.

[0011] The present invention is further configured to include a mounting sleeve fitted over the rear end of the left temple, wherein the inner wall of the mounting sleeve is circumferentially fitted to the rear side of the left temple and is detachably connected to the left temple.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a mounting plate is provided on the front side of the mounting sleeve of the left temple, and the mounting plate is magnetically connected to the mounting sleeve.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since the left and right temples are the same shape and size, and temples are one of the parts of eyeglasses that are prone to damage during use, common problems such as bending deformation, loose hinges, wear or breakage at the end of the left or right temple can be addressed by separating the mounting section from the mating section, allowing the mounting section to be removed and replaced with a new one. This enables the temples to be replaceable and extends the overall lifespan of the eyeglasses. The fact that the left and right temples are the same shape and size means that the left and right temples can be interchanged or produced uniformly, simplifying mold design and production processes, which is conducive to large-scale production and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model discloses a pair of eyeglasses with replaceable temples, including a frame 1 and left temple 2 and right temple 3 rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The left temple 2 and right temple 3 extend forward and backward along their length direction. The shape and size of the left temple 2 are the same as those of the right temple 3. The left temple 2 includes a mating section 21 and a mounting section 22. The mating section 21 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, while the mounting section 22 is detachably connected to the mating section 21 by bolts or other means. Since the left temple 2 and right temple 3 are the same in shape and size, and the temples are eyeglasses... One of the components of the glasses is prone to damage during use. Therefore, common problems such as bending deformation, loose hinges, wear or breakage at the end of the left temple 2 or right temple 3 can be found on the back side. By separating the mounting section 22 from the mating section 21, the mounting section 22 can be removed and replaced with a new one, thus making the temple replaceable and extending the overall service life of the glasses. The left and right temples 3 are the same shape and size, which means that the left and right temples 3 can be interchanged or produced uniformly, simplifying mold design and production process, which is conducive to large-scale production and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0027] The mounting section 22 protrudes forward and is provided with an insertion strip 221 that inserts into the rear side of the mating section 21. The mating section 21 is provided with an insertion groove 211 corresponding to the insertion strip 221. The mating section 21 includes an upper mounting part 212 located above the insertion groove 211 and a lower mounting part 213 located below the insertion groove 211. A screw hole 2211 is provided below the insertion strip 221, and a first through hole 2131 is provided in the lower mounting part 213 corresponding to the screw hole 2211. The upper mounting part 212 is fastened to the insertion strip 221. After the insertion strip 221 of the mounting section 22 is inserted into the insertion groove 211, the relative position of the mounting section 22 and the mating section 21 is determined, which facilitates the fastening connection of the upper mounting part 212 and the insertion strip 221 and the installation of bolts to fix them. In addition, the bolts are installed from below and can be hidden at the bottom of the left temple 2 without affecting the appearance. The upper fastening structure further prevents lateral displacement and improves the overall aesthetics and structural integrity.

[0028] The mating section 21 is located inside the insertion slot 211 and has a protruding guide bar 214. The guide bar 214 extends horizontally in a T-shape along its length. The insertion bar 221 has a guide groove 2213. The T-shaped guide bar 214 and the guide groove 2213 on the insertion bar 221 cooperate to guide and limit the insertion process, ensuring that the installation section 22 is accurately inserted and avoiding misalignment or tilting, thus facilitating the fixing of the mating section 21 and the installation section 22.

[0029] The lower mounting part 213 also includes several second through holes 2132 located on both sides of the first through hole 2131. The shape and size of each second through hole 2132 are the same as those of the first through hole 2131. Since the lower mounting part 213 is provided with several second through holes 2132, the upper mounting part 212 is fastened to the insertion strip 221 at different positions. Therefore, after the insertion strip 221 on the mounting section 22 is inserted into the insertion groove 211, the bolts that are adapted to the screw holes 2211 are inserted into the second through holes 2132 at different positions, so that the screw holes 2211 on the insertion strip 221 fall above the second through holes 2132 and are aligned with them to achieve fixation. Since the bolts can select the second through holes 2132 at the required positions, the volume of the mounting section 22 can be adjusted when it is inserted into the mating section 21, thereby adjusting the total length of the left temple 2 to meet more usage needs.

[0030] The mating section 21 further includes a hinge portion 216 located on the left side of the upper mounting portion 212 and the lower mounting portion 213, and a slot 215 located between the hinge portion 216 and the upper mounting portion 212. The upper mounting portion 212 is made of rubber, with an open bottom and a positioning block 2121 integrally formed in the middle. The positioning block 2121 is also made of rubber. The insertion strip 221 has several positioning slots 2211 spaced apart in the front-back direction corresponding to the positioning block 2121. The positioning block 2121 has an annular and inwardly recessed mating slot 21211. The insertion strip 221 has mating blocks 2212 in each positioning slot 2211. The presence of the slot 215 facilitates the application of force to the upper mounting portion 212 to make it flip upward. When the insertion strip 221 is inserted into the insertion slot 211, similar to the presence of each first through hole 2131, the relative position of the upper mounting part 212 and the insertion strip 221 is determined by the cooperation of the positioning block 2121 with the positioning slot 2211 at different positions, thereby realizing the relative length adjustment of the left temple 2. In addition, due to the presence of the mating block 2212, when the positioning block 2121 is inserted downward into the corresponding positioning slot 2211, the bottom of the positioning block 2121 will first contact the mating block 2212 and apply force to the mating block 2212, thereby passing over the mating block 2212 and realizing the mutual cooperation between the mating block 2212 and the mating slot 21211, thereby reducing the situation where the two separate due to vibration and shaking.

[0031] It is also worth noting that the positions of each positioning slot 2211 correspond one-to-one with the positions of each second through hole 2132 and the first through hole 2131. Therefore, after the positioning block 2121 completes its engagement with the corresponding positioning slot 2211, the first through hole 2131 or the second through hole 2132 located in the same extension direction as the positioning slot 2211 will fall below the screw hole 2211, thus facilitating the insertion of the bolt.

[0032] In addition, it also includes a rubber mounting sleeve 4 for the rear end of the left temple 2. The inner wall of the mounting sleeve 4 is circumferentially fitted to the rear side of the left temple 2 and is detachably connected to the left temple 2. The mounting sleeve 4 is fitted on the rear end of the left temple 2, usually corresponding to the position behind the ear. The mounting sleeve 4 covers the rear end of the temple and can play a certain protective role, preventing the temple from being scratched, worn or corroded during daily wear, removal or placement, and extending the service life of the temple. Through the "circumferential fit" design, the mounting sleeve 4 can tightly wrap the rear end of the temple, effectively increasing the contact area and cushioning between the temple and the back of the ear, reducing the pressure and friction of the temple on the ear skin, thereby significantly improving the comfort of wearing for a long time. Furthermore, the detachability of both makes it convenient to remove the mounting sleeve 4 when it is worn or when the user wants to change to a different color of the mounting sleeve 4.

[0033] The left temple 2 is provided with a mounting plate 23 on the front side of the mounting sleeve 4. The mounting plate 23 is magnetically connected to the mounting sleeve 4. After the mounting sleeve 4 is inserted into the end of the left temple 2, the mounting sleeve 4 is restricted by the mounting plate 23 to achieve a relative position determination. At this time, the magnetic attraction can make the mounting sleeve 4 stably located on the left temple 2.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
