[0041] Smart glasses are wearable electronic devices with a wide range of functions, including but not limited to existing AI glasses, camera glasses, XR (augmented reality) glasses, audio glasses, and Bluetooth glasses. With technological advancements, the functions of smart glasses are becoming increasingly diverse, leading to their wider application in daily life and work.
[0042] However, in existing technologies, some smart glasses have electrical components on both temples, such as speakers, or electrical components on the frame, such as cameras. In these cases, the frame needs to be electrically connected to the temples, which makes it difficult to disassemble the frame and temples of smart glasses. If a user wants to change the style of the glasses, they can only replace the entire smart glasses, not just the frame, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0043] For this, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a smart glasses 100, which includes a frame 10 and a temple assembly 20. The frame 10 is provided with a mounting portion 14 and a first electrical connector 11, which extends at least partially to the mounting portion 14 to form a first electrical connection portion 15 at the mounting portion 14. The temple assembly 20 is provided with a mating portion 21 for detachable installation with the mounting portion 14, and a second electrical connection portion 22 is provided at the mating portion 21 so that when the mating portion 21 is installed on the mounting portion 14, the second electrical connection portion 22 and the first electrical connection portion 15 can be detachably connected.
[0044] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the mounting part 14 and the mating part 21 is not limited. They can be in the form of threaded holes and screw posts, or in the form of snaps and slots, or in the form of two magnetic suction parts, etc. There is no limitation here. The specific implementation of the first electrical connection part 15 and the second electrical connection part 22 is not limited. They can be in the form of wiring terminals and wiring ports, or in the form of electrical connection when using contacts, such as pogo pins, spring contacts, etc. There is no limitation here.
[0045] The temple assembly 20 and the frame 10 can be fixedly connected or rotatably connected, which is not limited here. The specific implementation of the first connector is not limited; it can be in the form of a connecting wire or a circuit board, such as a PCB circuit board, an FPC circuit board, etc., which is not limited here. The connection object of the first electrical connector 11 is not limited. When there are two corresponding installation parts 14 and temple assemblies 20, it can connect two temple assemblies 20, thereby allowing electrical connection between the electrical components in the two temple assemblies 20. Of course, when there are electrical components in the frame 10, the first electrical connector 11 can also electrically connect the temple assembly 20 and the electrical components in the frame 10, etc., which is not limited here.
[0046] In the embodiments of this application, by providing the first electrical connection part 15 and the mounting part 14 on the frame 10, and providing the mating part 21 and the second electrical connection part 22 on the temple assembly 20, and the mating part 21 and the mounting part 14 being detachably installed, when the mating part 21 is installed on the mounting part 14, the second electrical connection part 22 is electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 15, so that even if the first electrical connection part 11 is present inside the frame 10, the frame 10 can still be detachably installed. When the user wants to change the style of the smart glasses 100, only the frame 10 needs to be replaced, without having to replace the entire smart glasses 100, thus improving the user experience.
[0047] The specific implementation of the frame 10 is not limited; it can be a single piece or a separate piece. No specific limitations are specified here. Please refer to the relevant documentation for further details. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a front frame 12, an inner frame 13 and a first electrical connector 11. The front frame 12 has a receiving groove, the first electrical connector 11 is installed in the receiving groove, and the inner frame 13 is used to block the opening end of the receiving groove.
[0048] The temple assembly 20 and the frame 10 can be fixedly connected or rotatably connected, and this is not limited here. In some embodiments, the temple assembly 20 includes a mounting assembly 30 and a temple body 23 that are connected to each other. The mounting assembly 30 has the mating part 21 to be fixedly mounted to the frame 10 through the mating part 21.
[0049] It should be noted that if the mating part 21 and the frame 10 are movably connected, it will inevitably lead to low stability of the connection between the two, and the frame 10 and the temple assembly 20 may easily separate when worn.
[0050] In the scheme of this embodiment, by providing the mating part 21 on the mounting component 30 and fixing it to the frame 10 through the mating part 21, the stability of the installation between the temple assembly 20 and the frame 10 can be effectively increased, and separation between the two can be avoided.
[0051] It should be emphasized that the installation method between the mounting component 30 and the temple body 23 is not limited. It can be fixedly installed, for example, the two can be integrated, or it can be rotated, for example, rotated by a pivot, etc. There are no limitations here.
[0052] In some embodiments, the temple body 23 is rotatably mounted to the mounting assembly 30 via a pivot.
[0053] In the solution of this embodiment, by rotating the temple body 23 and the mounting component 30 through a pivot, the temple body 23 can be folded and stored. On the other hand, for some rotatable smart glasses 100, the mounting component 30 constitutes the part for its rotational mounting, and together with the temple body 23, it forms the temple component 20. When the frame 10 is replaced, there is no need to replace the mounting component 30, which effectively reduces the cost of replacing the frame 10.
[0054] Furthermore, the temple body 23 and the mounting assembly 30 are rotatably mounted via a pivot, allowing the temple assembly 20 to be fixedly mounted to the frame 10 via the mounting assembly 30. This improves the stability of the installation of the temple assembly 20 and the frame 10, strengthens the connection between the two, and allows the temple body 23 to rotate relative to the mounting assembly 30 for folding, storage, and unfolding for use.
[0055] The specific implementation of the mounting component 30 is not limited. When it is fixedly connected to the temple body 23, it can be integrated with the temple body 23 or it can be separate. No limitation is made here.
[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 30 includes a housing and a second electrical connector 34. The housing has the mating portion 21 and a main mounting structure 33 for mounting the temple body 23. The second electrical connector 34 extends from the main mounting structure 33 to the mating portion 21, and a second electrical connection portion 22 is formed at the location of the mating portion 21 to electrically connect the temple body 23 and the first electrical connector 11.
[0057] In the corresponding embodiment, by providing the housing, the mating part 21 is formed on the housing, so that the housing can be installed with the frame 10. The housing also has a main mounting structure 33, which is used to install the temple body 23. Therefore, the housing can connect the frame 10 and the temple body 23. By providing the second electrical connector 34, which extends from the main mounting structure 33 to the mating part 21, and forms the second electrical connector 22 at the part of the mating part 21, the temple body 23 and the first electrical connector 11 can be electrically connected.
[0058] Specifically, the specific implementation of the main mounting structure 33 is not limited. It can be fixedly installed with the temple body 23, such as by snap-fit, screw-fit, magnetic installation, etc., or it can be rotatably installed with the temple body 23. There is no limitation here. In some embodiments, the main mounting structure 33 includes a pivot hole and a pivot on the housing, and the temple body 23 is rotatably installed in the pivot hole through the pivot.
[0059] The specific implementation of the second electrical connector 34 is not limited; it can be an FPC circuit board, wires, PCB board, etc., and is not limited here.
[0060] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a clamping groove 35 for clamping both sides of the frame 10 in the thickness direction, and the mating part 21 is provided with a threaded hole 18.
[0061] In the corresponding embodiment, by providing the clamping groove 35 on the housing, when installing the frame 10, the clamping groove 35 can first clamp the two sides of the frame 10 in the thickness direction, thereby achieving coarse positioning of the frame 10 and the temple assembly 20, which facilitates subsequent screwing into the threaded hole 18. The installation of the frame 10 is completed by using the clamping groove 35 and screw fastening, effectively improving the stability of the installation.
[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the frame 10 is provided with a waterproof ring 16 at the mounting portion 14. The waterproof ring 16 is located around the first electrical connection portion 15 to waterproof the connection between the first electrical connection portion 15 and the second electrical connection portion 22.
[0063] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting the waterproof ring 16, the connection between the first electrical connection part 15 and the second electrical connection part 22 can be waterproofed.
[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the waterproof ring 16 is deformable. When screws are driven into the threaded hole 18, the housing of the mounting assembly 30 can press the waterproof ring 16, causing the waterproof ring 16 to deform and better seal the gap between the mating part 21 and the mounting part 14, thus improving the waterproofing effect.
[0065] Specifically, the specific implementation of the clamping groove 35 is not limited. In some embodiments, the housing is integrally formed, which means that it can be formed directly on the housing. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing is formed by splicing multiple parts, which means that the clamping groove 35 can also be formed by splicing multiple parts. This is not limited here.
[0066] In some embodiments, the housing includes an inner shell 31 and an outer shell 32. The inner shell 31 includes an inner shell clamping arm 311 that is attached to the inner side of the frame 10. The inner shell clamping arm 311 is used to attach to the inner side of the frame 10, and the mating part 21 is disposed on the inner shell clamping arm 311. The outer shell 32 includes a splicing section 322 that is spliced with the inner shell 31 and an outer shell clamping arm 321 disposed at one end of the splicing section 322. The outer shell clamping part and the inner shell clamping arm 311 are spaced apart to jointly define the clamping groove 35.
[0067] In the scheme of this embodiment, by dividing the housing into an inner shell 31 and an outer shell 32 that are spliced together, the installation of the second electrical connector 34 can be facilitated. In the actual assembly process, the second connector can be installed on the inner shell 31 first, and then the outer shell 32 can be assembled, which facilitates the installation of the second electrical connector 34.
[0068] Furthermore, the inner shell clamping arm 311 is used to attach to the inner side of the frame 10, and the mating part 21 is disposed on the inner shell clamping arm 311. When the inner shell clamping arm 311 is attached to the inner side of the frame 10, the mating part 21 can contact the mounting part 14, thereby completing the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 15 and the second electrical connection part 22.
[0069] The relationship between the length of the inner shell clamping arm 311 and the length of the outer shell clamping arm 321 is not limited; they can be the same length or one can be longer than the other.
[0070] In some embodiments, the length of the inner shell clamping arm 311 is greater than the length of the outer shell clamping arm 321; along the thickness direction of the frame 10, the projection of the outer shell clamping arm 321 onto the inner shell clamping arm 311 is located outside the second electrical connection portion 22.
[0071] In the scheme of this embodiment, along the thickness direction of the frame 10, the projection of the outer shell clamping arm 321 on the inner shell clamping arm 311 is located outside the second electrical connection part 22. That is, the second electrical connection part 22 is located at the part of the inner shell 31 clamping wall that protrudes from the outer shell clamping arm 321. On the one hand, this can avoid interference between the outer shell clamping arm 321 and other components when installing the second electrical connection part 22, reducing the difficulty of installation. On the other hand, it can allow the inner shell clamping arm 311 to extend longer, increasing the contact area between the inner shell clamping arm 311 and the frame 10 without affecting the appearance, thus improving the stability of installation.
[0072] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 14 includes a mounting groove 17, and the first electrical connection portion 15 is formed in the mounting groove 17; the second electrical connection member 34 includes a connector 341 and a connecting wire 342, is disposed at the mating portion 21 of the inner shell clamping arm 311, and constitutes the second electrical connection portion 22, so that when the inner shell clamping arm 311 is fitted with the inner side of the frame 10, it extends into the mounting groove 17 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection portion 15; the connecting wire 342 extends from the main body mounting structure 33 to the mating portion 21, and is electrically connected to the connector 341.
[0073] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting the connector 341, on the one hand, the connection stability can be improved, and on the other hand, during installation, the connector 341 extends into the mounting groove 17 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 15. Thus, through the cooperation between the connector 341 and the mounting groove 17, it can also play a certain limiting role between the temple assembly 20 and the frame 10, thereby improving the stability of installation.
[0074] Specifically, the specific implementation of the connecting line 342 is not limited; it can be a regular data cable or an FPC flexible flat cable.
[0075] The specific implementation of the connector 341 is not limited; it can be a terminal connector 341 or a spring contact type connector 343. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 6In some embodiments, the connector 341 is provided with a spring contact 343 to elastically press the first electrical connection 15 when the spring contact 343 contacts the first electrical connection 15. This configuration effectively improves the stability of the electrical connection by elastically pressing the first electrical connection 15 when it contacts the first electrical connection 15. Furthermore, when the temple assembly 20 is installed with the frame 10, the pressing force of the spring contact 343 on the first electrical connection 15 can be adjusted by adjusting the fit between the screw and the threaded hole 18.
[0076] The smart glasses provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
