Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of AR glasses technology, and more particularly to a glasses hinge structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing eyeglass hinge structures are mostly traditional mechanical structures, which can only achieve the rotation of the temples relative to the frame. However, AR glasses not only need the rotation method of traditional hinge structures, but also need to be simplified in their basic structure to reduce the weight of AR glasses and integrate related control devices, so that the wearer can operate and interact with the relevant interfaces on the glasses. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this application is to propose a glasses hinge structure to solve the problem that the hinge of existing AR glasses can only realize the single function of the temple rotating relative to the frame.

[0005] The first rotating module is connected to a push-to-rotate module, which includes a rotatable knob and a push-to-operate mechanism that cooperates with the knob.
[0006] Its beneficial effects are: the knob and push-button structure can connect to the lens's display interface and control and interact with the display page. Without affecting the normal rotation of the hinge, a push-to-rotate module is introduced to interact with the lens's display interface, making it convenient for the wearer to interact with the display interface by pressing the rotation module. Furthermore, the hinge structure of these glasses has a simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0007] In some implementations, the bottom of the knob has a contact that can come into contact with the pressing mechanism.
[0008] Its beneficial effect is that the wearer can press the knob to make the contact point make contact with the pressing mechanism to trigger the pressing mechanism.
[0009] In some embodiments, the push-to-rotate module further includes an upper cover and a retaining spring arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the knob and the push-to-rotate mechanism; the contact can pass through the upper cover and the retaining spring, and the retaining spring can be connected to the upper cover.
[0010] Its beneficial effects are: the top cover can be connected to the bottom of the knob, and the retaining spring can be connected to the bottom of the top cover, wherein the retaining spring is used to fix the knob.
[0011] In some implementations, the pressing mechanism is a micro switch.
[0012] Its advantages are: microswitches have high reliability, long lifespan, low cost, high sensitivity, are easy to drive, and are compact in size.
[0013] In some embodiments, a connecting post connects the first rotating module and the second rotating module.
[0014] Its beneficial effect is that the first rotating module and the second rotating module can rotate relative to each other around the connecting column.
[0015] In some embodiments, the first rotating module includes a frame-side hinge that can be connected to the frame, and a knob that can be positioned at the upper end of the frame-side hinge.
[0016] Its advantages are: the knob is exposed at the top of the side hinge of the frame, making it easy for the wearer to find the knob and operate it.
[0017] In some implementations, the top cover and retaining spring are located inside the side hinge of the mirror frame.
[0018] In some embodiments, the second rotating module includes:
[0019] Temple side hinges through which the connecting post passes;
[0020] From top to bottom, the spring, nut, and lower cover are respectively connected to the connecting post. The spring, nut, and lower cover are located inside the hinge on the temple side.
[0021] One end of the spring can contact the hinge on the temple of the glasses.
[0022] Its beneficial effect is that the side hinge of the temple can generate torque through friction with the spring, which can be used to prevent loosening.
[0023] In some embodiments, a limiting block is provided on the temple-side hinge, and a limiting groove matching the limiting block is provided on the frame-side hinge.
[0024] Its beneficial effect is that when the temple side hinge rotates relative to the frame side hinge, the limiting block can slide in the limiting groove, so that the opening angle of the temple relative to the frame is less than or equal to 90 degrees. Attached Figure Description
