[0028] This utility model relates to a smart pair of glasses and a temple 3 for use in the smart glasses. (See reference...) Figures 1-5 Smart glasses may include a frame 1 and temples 3. The frame 1 can be used to mount lenses or a display device, and may also have structures such as nose pads. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there can be two temples 3, which are rotatably connected to both sides of the frame 1. When the user wears the glasses, the two temples 3 rest on the user's left and right ears respectively. The smart glasses also include a hinge 2, through which the temples 3 are hinged to the ends of the frame 1 to achieve a rotatable connection. At least one temple 3 is also equipped with a speaker 34 for audio playback. In this embodiment of the invention, speakers 34 can be provided in both temples 3 of the smart glasses.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4The temple 3 includes a temple body 31, a telescopic sleeve 32, and a positioning structure. The temple body 31 has a mounting cavity 311, and a speaker 34 is fixed in the mounting cavity 311 of the temple body 31. The speaker 34 can be a bone conduction speaker 34 or an air conduction speaker 34. When the speaker 34 is an air conduction speaker 34, the temple body 31 also has a sound outlet 314, and the cavity in front of the sound-emitting side of the speaker 34 is connected to the sound outlet 314, so that the sound waves emitted by the speaker 34 can be transmitted to the outside of the temple 3 through the sound outlet 314. For example, the sound-emitting side of the speaker 34 can be aligned with the sound outlet 314, or the mounting cavity 311 has a sound cavity for the sound waves of the speaker 34 to be transmitted, and the sound cavity is connected to the sound outlet 314. The telescopic sleeve 32 includes an inner tube 321 and an outer tube 322, and the outer tube 322 is sleeved outside the inner tube 321 and telescopically connected to the inner tube 321. One end of the mounting cavity 311 has an opening 312. One of the inner tube 321 and the outer tube 322 is hinged to the frame 1 via a hinge 2, while the other is fixed to the opening 312. Thus, the user can adjust the length of the temple 3 by operating the telescopic sleeve 32 (e.g., stretching and compressing). After the temple 3 length is adjusted, the telescopic sleeve 32 uses a positioning structure to fix the telescopic length, ensuring the stability of the temple 3 when the user wears the smart glasses.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the temple body 31 has a bent portion 313, which is used to fit against the user's ear 6 to prevent the smart glasses from loosening and falling off when the user wears them. The speaker 34 is positioned close to the bent portion 313 so that the speaker 34 is as close as possible to the user's ear 6 when the user wears the smart glasses, thereby improving audio playback quality. In some embodiments, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main body of the temple 31 has a sound outlet 314, which is located between the bent portion 313 and the opening 312 and close to the bent portion 313.

[0031] Depending on actual needs, either the inner tube 321 or the outer tube 322 can be connected to the hinge 2, and the other can be connected to the temple body 31. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The outer tube 322 is connected to the hinge 2, and the inner tube 321 is fixedly connected to the temple body 31 and at least partially protrudes from the opening 312. In other embodiments, refer to... Figure 4The inner tube 321 can be connected to the hinge 2, and the outer tube 322 is at least partially hidden within the opening 312, improving aesthetics. The inner tube 321 and outer tube 322 can be made of metal, which helps ensure the dimensional stability of the inner and outer tubes and guarantees the service life of the telescopic sleeve 32. The temple body 31 can be made of metal or plastic. When the temple body 31 is made of plastic, it can be integrally formed with the inner tube 321 or outer tube 322 through, for example, insert injection molding.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner tube 321 has a second wiring channel 323, and the outer tube 322 has a third wiring channel 324, with the second and third channels connected. The hinge 2 also includes a first wiring channel 21, which communicates with the interior of the frame 1. The mounting cavity 311 communicates with the interior of the frame 1 through the third wiring channel 324, the second wiring channel 323, and the first wiring channel 21. In addition to the speaker 34, other electrical components, such as batteries, sensors, and microphones, can be installed in the mounting cavity 311. One or more electrical components, such as optical engines, indicator lights, and sensors, can be installed in the frame 1. That is, multiple electrical components in the circuitry used to realize the functions of smart glasses can be distributed in the frame 1 and the temples 3, making full use of the internal space of the frame 1 and the temples 3, which is beneficial for reducing the overall size of the smart glasses and rationally distributing the weight of each part. The wiring between the circuits in the mounting cavity 311 of the frame 1 and the temple 3 can be achieved through the third wiring channel 324, the second wiring channel 323, and the first wiring channel 21, which can hide and protect the circuits. In some embodiments, the smart glasses also include a flexible conductive structure 4, which extends from the mounting cavity 311 to the frame 1 through the third wiring channel 324, the second wiring channel 323, and the first wiring channel 21. The flexible conductive structure 4 can be a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), which can ensure the stability of the circuit connection between the temple 3 and the frame 1 when the length of the temple 3 is retractable.

[0033] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4The temple 3 may also include a shield 5, which at least partially covers the telescopic sleeve 32, serving to conceal and protect the telescopic sleeve 32 and enhance the aesthetics of the smart glasses. In one embodiment, the shield 5 may be made of a deformable material and connected between the temple body 31 and the hinge 2, and may deform as the telescopic sleeve 32 extends and retracts. For example, the shield 5 may be a corrugated tube structure fitted over the telescopic sleeve 32. In another embodiment, the shield 5 may be detachably connected to the temple body 31 or the telescopic sleeve 32. For example, the shield 5 may be a C-shaped elastic buckle with a slot on one side, allowing for connection and detachment between the shield 5 and the temple 3.

[0034] The positioning structure can be any structure that enables multi-position telescopic length positioning of the telescopic sleeve 32, as needed. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the inner tube 321 has multiple slots 3211 spaced apart along its length. The positioning structure includes a locking block 331 that mates with the slots 3211. The locking block 331 is movable relative to the slots 3211, allowing it to enter or exit the slots 3211. The locking block 331 is also relatively fixed relative to the outer tube 322 along the length of the telescopic sleeve 32. The locking block 331 can be connected to an operating structure, which is exposed on the surface of the smart glasses. The user can move the locking block 331 by operating this structure. When adjusting the length, the locking block 331 is moved out of the slots 3211, and the temple 3 is pulled. After adjustment, the locking block 331 is engaged in the corresponding slots 3211, thus fixing the length of the temple 3. Optionally, the locking block 331 can be elastically connected to the outer tube 322 via an elastic element. The elasticity of the elastic element causes the locking block 331 to maintain its connection with the slots 3211, preventing it from loosening when the user wears the glasses.

[0035] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The positioning structure includes multiple elastic protrusions 332 spaced along the length of the outer surface of the inner tube 321. A certain gap exists between the inner tube 321 and the outer tube 322. The elastic protrusions 332 are fixed to the inner tube 321 and can undergo elastic deformation, allowing the user to move the temple 3 with a certain force when adjusting its length. The elastic protrusions 332 can be compressed, causing relative expansion and contraction between the inner tube 321 and the outer tube 322. The outer tube 322 has a positioning groove 3221 corresponding to the elastic protrusions 332. When the elastic protrusion 332 moves into the positioning groove 3221, it enters the groove under elastic action and at least partially recovers its original shape, thus achieving positioning between the inner tube 321 and the outer tube 322.

[0036] Figure 6This is a sound pressure level curve at the human ear when the speaker 34 of the smart glasses, according to an embodiment of this utility model, plays audio while the temple 3 is adjusted to different lengths. (See reference...) Figure 6 The diagram includes six sound pressure level (SPL) curves. Viewed from the left, the bottom curve represents the distance between the temple 3 and the speaker 34 at 40mm from the ear canal. Each subsequent curve, from bottom to top, represents a decrease of 5mm in the distance between the speaker 34 and the ear canal. In other words, the six curves, from bottom to top, represent the SPL curves at distances of at least 40mm, 35mm, 30mm, 25mm, 20mm, 15mm, and 10mm from the speaker 34 to the ear canal. This demonstrates that by adjusting the length of the temple 3, the closer the speaker 34 is to the ear canal opening, the more significantly the SPL level across all frequency bands within the human hearing range is improved. For example, curve S1 is the sound pressure curve when the distance from speaker 34 to ear canal is 35mm by adjusting the length of temple 3, and curve S2 is the sound pressure curve when the distance from speaker 34 to ear canal is 30mm by adjusting the length of temple 3. The sound pressure level of curve S2 is about 3dB higher than that of curve S1 in the mid-frequency and low-frequency ranges.

[0037] This utility model embodiment provides a smart glasses and temple 3. The temple 3 includes a temple body 31, a telescopic sleeve 32, a positioning structure, and a speaker 34. The speaker 34 is disposed in the mounting cavity 311 of the temple body 31. The telescopic sleeve 32 includes an inner tube 321 and an outer tube 322. The outer tube 322 is telescopically connected to the inner tube 321. One of the inner tube 321 and the outer tube 322 is hinged to the frame 1 via a hinge 2, and the other is connected to the temple body 31. The telescopic sleeve 32 is positioned to extend or retract through the positioning structure, thereby enabling the adjustment of the length of the temple 3 to accommodate different user head shapes and ensure that the speaker 34 is positioned close to the user's ear 6, thus improving sound quality. By setting a second wiring channel 323 in the inner tube 321, a third wiring channel 324 in the outer tube 322, and a first wiring channel 21 in the hinge 2, the mounting cavity 311 is connected to the frame 1 through the third wiring channel 324, the second wiring channel 323, and the first wiring channel 21, providing space and protection for the circuit wiring between the temple 3 and the frame 1, which is conducive to the rational use of the internal space of the smart glasses.
