[0015] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0018] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-5 According to an embodiment of the snap-on eyeglasses of the present invention, the eyeglasses include a frame 11 and temples 12. The two sides of the frame 11 extend forward to form an integral mounting platform 21. The mounting platform 21 is provided with a hinge groove 22. A hinge post 23 is integrally formed between the upper and lower sides of the hinge groove 22.

[0020] The temple 12 is connected within the hinge slot 22. Specifically, a hinge plate 31 is provided on the temple 12. The hinge plate 31 is U-shaped in top view, and its opening narrows. The hinge plate 31 is fitted around the hinge post 23 and can rotate relative to the hinge post 23. Through the hinge plate 31, the temple 12 can rotate relative to the frame 11, allowing the temple 12 to expand outward and contract inward relative to the frame 11. Figure 1 As shown, when the temples 12 are in the outward-expanded state, it is convenient for the user to wear the glasses.

[0021] Furthermore, the temple 12 is connected to the hinge plate 31 by a connecting plate 32, and the connecting plate 32 is integrally formed on the inner side of the temple 12. The upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 32 and the hinge plate 31 are coplanar and can both be attached to the upper and lower sides of the hinge groove 22 to prevent the hinge plate 31 and the connecting plate 32 from swinging up and down in the hinge groove 22, so as to make the temple 12 more stable during rotation.

[0022] When assembling the snap-fit ​​glasses, the worker moves the temple 12 and snaps the hinge plate 31 inside onto the hinge post 23 to complete the snap-fit ​​connection. During the connection process, the hinge post 23 and the hinge plate 31 will undergo slight deformation, and will return to their original shape after the connection is completed.

[0023] In addition, in order to limit the outward expansion angle of the temple 12, the connecting plate 32 is provided with a notch 33 on the inner side of its outer side, and a limiting plate 24 that can press against the bottom surface of the notch 33 is integrally formed in the hinge groove 22. When the temple 12 is expanded to the maximum angle, the limiting plate 24 can abut against the bottom surface of the notch 33, thereby limiting the angle of the temple 12.

[0024] Furthermore, at this time, the end face of the temple 12 can abut against the end face of the mounting platform 21 to further prevent the temple 12 from expanding outward and increase stability.

[0025] In addition, to enhance the aesthetics, the distance between the bottom of the notch 33 and the back of the temple 12 connected thereto is adapted to the left and right width of the limiting plate 24, and the limiting plate 24 is coplanar with the outer side of the mounting platform 21. The maximum lateral distance between the bottom of the notch 33 and the side of the connecting plate 32 is adapted to the distance between the limiting plate 24 and the inner side of the mounting platform 21.

[0026] With the above settings, as Figure 4 As shown, when the temple 12 is extended to its maximum angle, the back (outer side) of the temple 12 can be coplanar with the outer side of the mounting platform 21 and the limiting plate 24, and the inner side of the connecting plate 32 can be coplanar with the inner side of the mounting platform 21, thereby increasing harmony and aesthetics.

[0027] The temple 12 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 34 at the end away from the frame 11 to increase wearing comfort.

[0028] In addition, the vertical height of the hinge plate 31 is not greater than the vertical height of the temple 12, and the vertical height of the temple 12 is not greater than the vertical height of the front end of the mounting platform 21, so as to increase the sense of layering of the frame and further improve its aesthetics. The small size of the temple 12 can also reduce the weight of the buckle-connected glasses and further increase wearing comfort.

[0029] It should be noted that the description of the snap-fit ​​connection in this utility model is only intended to indicate that the hinge plate 31 is snapped onto the outside of the hinge post 23 and can rotate, and is not a snap-fit ​​locking scheme in the traditional sense.

[0030] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
