Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the smart glasses include a frame 10, a camera 21 mounted on the frame 10, and a camera protection structure. The camera protection structure includes an adjustable blocking mechanism 30, which is mounted on the frame 10. The adjustable blocking mechanism 30 can block and avoid the camera 21 by translation, and can quickly block the camera 21 when privacy protection is required, thus meeting the privacy protection needs in different scenarios.

[0019] The frame 10 is made of lightweight, high-strength polycarbonate material, weighing no more than 50g. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the eyeglass frame 10 is composed of a front panel 11 and a rear panel 12, with a mounting groove 101 formed between the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12. The adjustable shielding mechanism 30 and the camera 21 are installed in the mounting groove 101. The front panel 11 has a hole 13 on its front side to avoid the camera 21. In this embodiment, the camera 21 is located on the left side of the eyeglass frame 10; in other embodiments, the camera 21 may also be located on the right side of the eyeglass frame 10 or on the bridge of the nose in the middle of the eyeglass frame 10.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the adjustable blocking mechanism 30 includes a knob 31, a rack 33, and a blocking plate 34. One end of the knob 31 is disposed around the periphery of the frame 10, and the other end of the knob 31 is provided with a gear 32 that cooperates with the rack 33. The rack 33 is fixedly connected to the blocking plate 34. A slide rail 35 that slidably cooperates with the rack 33 is provided in the mounting groove 101. As the knob 31 rotates, the gear 32 drives the rack 33 and the blocking plate 34 to move horizontally, thereby enabling the blocking plate 34 to block and avoid the camera 21.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments, the knob 31 is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 30 mm. The rack 33 is made of stainless steel, with a length of 40 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm. The shield 34 is made of polycarbonate, and its shape is rectangular, larger than the lens size of the camera 21; of course, in other embodiments, the size of the shield 34 can also match that of the camera 21 lens, that is, the shape and size of the shield 34 are the same as those of the camera 21 lens.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the camera protection structure is also provided with a shielding mechanism holder 40 for accommodating the adjustable shielding mechanism 30, and the shielding mechanism holder 40 is fixedly installed inside the lens frame (in the mounting groove 101).

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the lens frame 10 also includes a camera holder 22 for housing the camera 21, which is fixedly installed inside the lens frame 10. Specifically, the camera holder 22 is made of aluminum alloy and weighs no more than 10g. The camera holder 22 has a positioning hole 221, and the lens frame 10 has a positioning post 222 that mates with the positioning hole 221. The positioning hole 221 and the positioning post 222 cooperate to position the camera holder 22, thus achieving fixed installation. In this invention, the positioning post 222 is located inside the front panel 11; in other embodiments, the positioning post 222 may also be located inside the rear panel.

[0024] The assembly steps of the smart glasses in this embodiment of the present invention are as follows: Step 1: Install the adjustable shielding mechanism 30 into the shielding mechanism holder 40, and fix the shielding mechanism holder 40 on the front panel 11.

[0025] Step 2: Insert one end of the knob 31 through the periphery of the frame 10, and the other end of the knob 31 engages with the rack 33 via the gear 32.

[0026] Step 3: Install the camera 21 into the camera holder 22 to ensure the camera 21 is stable.

[0027] Step 4: Set the camera holder 22 on the front panel 11 or the rear panel 12 (the camera holder 22 is provided with positioning holes 221, and the front panel 11 or the rear panel 12 is provided with matching positioning posts 222).

[0028] Step 5: Join the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 to form the main structure of the frame 10. A mounting groove 101 is formed between the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 for mounting the camera 21 and the adjustable blocking mechanism 30.

[0029] The working principle of the camera protection structure of the smart glasses in this embodiment of the present invention is as follows: 1) When the user rotates the knob 31, the gear 32 on the knob 31 meshes with the rack 33, causing the rack 33 to move horizontally.

[0030] 2) When the rack 33 moves to the blocking position, the blocking surface on the blocking plate 34 covers the lens of the camera 21, thereby blocking the camera 21.

[0031] 3) When the rack 33 moves to the open position, the cover plate 34 moves away from the lens of the camera 21, thereby opening the camera 21.

[0032] 4) By precisely controlling the rotation angle of the knob 31, the position of the shield 34 can be precisely adjusted to meet the privacy protection needs in different scenarios.

[0033] In summary, the smart glasses of this utility model include an adjustable blocking mechanism 30, which can block and avoid the camera 21 by translation, and can quickly block the camera 21 when privacy protection is required, thus meeting the privacy protection needs in different scenarios.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent changes and improvements based on the above embodiments. All equivalent changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
