Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optical equipment technology, specifically relating to an eye mask and an optical device. Background Technology

[0002] Optical equipment, such as telescopes and other observation devices, is generally equipped with goggles. The main function of goggles is to provide a relatively enclosed observation environment to effectively block interference from external light, ensuring that users can clearly and accurately view the images or information presented by the optical equipment, thereby improving the observation effect and experience quality.

[0003] However, for users who wear glasses, interference can easily occur between the light-blocking components of the eye mask and the frame of the glasses when using optical equipment with eye shields, preventing the eye mask from fitting properly against the glasses. This lack of fit creates gaps between the eye mask and glasses, allowing stray light from the outside environment to enter the space between them and pass through the lenses of the glasses into the user's field of vision, thus affecting the viewing experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an eye mask and optical device that can solve the problem in the related art where the light-blocking component of the eye mask easily interferes with the glasses, resulting in the eye mask not fitting well with the glasses.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an eye mask, the eye mask comprising: The eye mask body has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, the first end being used to connect to the device body of the optical device; A light-blocking component is provided along the circumference of the eye mask body. The light-blocking component includes a bendable portion and a light-blocking portion connected to the bendable portion. The bendable portion is connected to the eye mask body. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the light-blocking portion protrudes from the second end, and the thickness of the bendable portion is less than the thickness of the light-blocking portion.

[0006] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an optical device, which includes a device body and the aforementioned goggles, wherein the goggles body is connected to the device body.

[0007] In this embodiment, the light-shielding member is provided with a bendable portion, and the thickness of the bendable portion is less than the thickness of the light-shielding member, making the bendable portion easier to bend. When a user wearing glasses uses the eye mask, the bendable portion allows the light-shielding member to bend outward so that the eye mask body can be closer to the glasses, thereby increasing the fit between the eye mask body and the glasses, reducing the gap between the eye mask body and the glasses, reducing the probability of external light entering between the eye mask and the glasses through the gap, thereby improving the observation effect and enabling the user wearing glasses to clearly see the image or information presented by the optical device.

[0008] For users who do not wear glasses, when using an eye mask, the light-blocking part can be restored to its original shape, allowing the light-blocking part to fit the skin around the eyes, thereby reducing the impact of external light on the observation effect and enabling users who do not wear glasses to clearly see the images or information presented by the optical equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0012] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0013] The eye mask and optical device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0014] refer to Figures 1-7 The eye mask provided in this application embodiment may include an eye mask body 100 and a light-blocking component 200.

[0015] The eye mask body 100 has a first end and a second end that are positioned opposite each other. The first end can be used to connect to the main body of an optical device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the light-blocking component 200 can be arranged around the circumference of the goggle body 100. This arrangement allows the light-blocking part 220 to form a wall-like structure around the periphery of the goggle body 100, thus blocking external light from more angles.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the light-blocking member 200 may include a bendable portion 210 and a light-blocking portion 220 connected to the bendable portion 210. The bendable portion 210 may be connected to the eye mask body 100. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the light-blocking portion 220 protrudes from the second end. This arrangement makes it easier for the light-blocking portion 220 to fit the face.

[0017] And, as Figure 1 As shown, the thickness of the bendable portion 210 can be less than the thickness of the light-shielding portion 220, which makes the bendable portion 210 easier to bend.

[0018] In this embodiment, the light-shielding member 200 is provided with a bendable portion 210, and the thickness of the bendable portion 210 is less than the thickness of the light-shielding portion 220, making the bendable portion 210 easier to bend. When a user wearing glasses uses the eye mask, the bendable portion 210 can bend the light-shielding member 200 outward, making it less likely for the light-shielding member 200 to interfere with the frame of the glasses, so that the eye mask body 100 can be closer to the glasses, thereby increasing the fit between the eye mask body 100 and the glasses, reducing the gap between the eye mask body 100 and the glasses, reducing the probability of external light entering between the eye mask and the glasses through the gap, thereby improving the observation effect, and enabling the user wearing glasses to clearly see the image or information presented by the optical device.

[0019] For users who do not wear glasses, when using the eye mask, the light-blocking part 200 can be restored to its original shape, so that the light-blocking part 220 fits the skin around the eyes, thereby reducing the impact of external light on the observation effect, and enabling users who do not wear glasses to clearly see the images or information presented by the optical equipment.

[0020] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the goggles body 100 has a first outer wall 111, which is located on the side of the bendable portion 210 facing the first end. Along the direction from the second end to the first end, the distance between the first outer wall 111 and the center line of the goggles body 100 gradually decreases. In this embodiment, the gradually tapering design of the first outer wall 111 of the goggles body 100 provides sufficient clearance for the folding of the light-shielding member 200, effectively preventing the goggles body 100 from obstructing the folding action of the light-shielding member 200, thereby significantly improving the flexibility of the folding of the light-shielding member 200.

[0021] For example, the eye mask body 100 can be a cylindrical structure, with the diameter of the first outer wall 111 gradually decreasing along the direction from the second end to the first end. Of course, the eye mask body 100 can also be rectangular, elliptical, or other shapes.

[0022] In other embodiments, the distance between the first outer wall 111 and the center line of the goggle body 100 may remain unchanged.

[0023] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the goggle body 100 may include a first portion 110 and a second portion 120 coaxially connected to the first portion 110. The first portion 110 can be used to connect to the device body, and the bendable portion 210 can be connected at the junction of the first portion 110 and the second portion 120. Along the direction from the second end to the first end of the goggle body 100, the distance between the outer wall of the first portion 110 and the center line of the goggle body 100 gradually decreases. Here, the first outer wall 111 is the outer wall of the first portion 110, and exemplarily, the diameter of the first portion 110 gradually decreases. In this way, the first portion 110 can avoid the light-shielding member 200, thereby providing folding space for the light-shielding member 200.

[0024] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the thickness of the light-shielding portion 220 gradually increases from the first end to the second end. This design increases the structural strength of the light-shielding portion 220. When the light-shielding portion 220 comes into contact with the face or the eyeglass frame, or is subjected to slight external force, it can effectively prevent the light-shielding portion 220 from collapsing, curling, or undergoing other unexpected deformations, thus maintaining the preset shape and ensuring that the light-shielding portion 220 is in close contact with the face, preventing gaps from forming due to deformation.

[0025] Of course, the thickness of the light-shielding part 220 can remain unchanged.

[0026] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a groove 211 can be formed on the side of the bendable portion 210 away from the center line of the eye mask body 100, and the groove 211 extends circumferentially along the eye mask body 100. This arrangement can create a structurally weak area on the outer side of the bendable portion 210, reducing the resistance to outward bending, thereby making it easier for the bendable portion 210 to bend outward.

[0027] In other embodiments, the groove 211 may also be provided on the side of the bendable portion 210 away from the center line of the eye mask body 100.

[0028] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the bendable portion 210 has a first edge 212 and a second edge 213 in the circumferential direction of the eye mask body 100. The first edge 212 has a first folding point, and the second edge 213 has a second folding point. The angle between the line connecting the first folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 and the line connecting the second folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 is greater than 90° and less than 180°. This arrangement provides a more suitable angle range for folding the light-blocking component 200. Compared to the case where the angle between the line connecting the first folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 and the line connecting the second folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 is greater than 180°, the force required to fold the light-blocking component 200 is relatively small. Users can easily fold the light-blocking component 200 to the desired position, and it can prevent the eye mask body 100 and the light-blocking portion 220 from deforming due to excessive force, affecting the fit. It can also reduce the risk of damage to the eye mask due to folding operations, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the eye mask. Meanwhile, because the angle is greater than 90°, the folded light-blocking component 200 is less likely to spring back to its original position with slight touch, allowing it to maintain its folded state without interfering with the user's operation. Furthermore, the angle greater than 90° allows the light-blocking component 200 to cover a wider area around the eye mask body 100, blocking external light from multiple angles. This creates a relatively dark observation environment for the user, improving the observation effect when using optical equipment.

[0029] In other embodiments, the angle between the line connecting the first folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 and the line connecting the second folding point and the center point of the eye mask body 100 may be less than 90° or greater than 180°.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a clearance slope 103 is provided on the outer wall of the goggle body 100. The clearance slope 103 is disposed opposite to the bendable portion 210, and the distance between the clearance slope 103 and the center line of the goggle body 100 gradually decreases along the direction from the first end to the second end. In this embodiment, the gradually tapering design of the clearance slope 103 in the direction from the first end to the second end provides sufficient deformation space for the bendable portion 210, making it less likely for the bendable portion 210 to contact the outer wall of the goggle body 100 during bending, thereby avoiding interference between the bendable portion 210 and the goggle body 100 and reducing wear between the goggle body 100 and the bendable portion 210. For example, the clearance slope 103 can be provided on the outer wall of the second portion 120 described above, so that the second portion 120 avoids the bendable portion 210.

[0031] In other embodiments, the avoidance slope 103 may not be provided on the outer wall of the goggle body 100.

[0032] Optionally, the avoidance slope 103 can be a curved surface, and the avoidance slope 103 can extend to the second end of the eye mask body 100. This configuration can prevent the second part 120 of the eye mask body 100 from forming sharp edges or corners, thereby preventing the eye mask body 100 from scratching the user's face or the lenses of the glasses, and can also prevent damage to the bendable part 210 when it comes into contact with the second part 120.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the distance between the light-shielding member 200 and the center line of the eye mask body 100 gradually increases along the direction from the first end to the second end. In this embodiment, the design of the gradually increasing distance between the center line of the light-shielding member 200 and the eye mask body 100 allows the light-shielding member 200 to form a gradually unfolding shape along the direction from the first end to the second end of the eye mask body 100. This shape can better conform to the curve of the face, reducing gaps between the light-shielding member 200 and the face, thereby improving the fit between the light-shielding member 200 and the face.

[0034] It should be noted that the distance between the light-blocking component 200 and the center line of the goggle body 100 refers to the distance between each position of the light-blocking component 200 on the same radial direction of the goggle body 100 and the center line of the goggle body 100.

[0035] Of course, the distance between the center line of the light-blocking member 200 and the eye mask body 100 can remain unchanged along the direction from the first end to the second end.

[0036] Optionally, the length of the light-blocking portion 220 gradually decreases in the circumferential direction of the eye mask body 100 along the direction from the first end to the second end. This arrangement can reduce pressure and friction on the facial skin while ensuring the light-blocking effect of the light-blocking component 200, thereby improving comfort. Furthermore, it can reduce the amount of raw materials used, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0037] Of course, the length of the light-blocking part 220 in the circumferential direction of the eye mask body 100 along the direction from the first end to the second end can also remain unchanged.

[0038] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 5-7As shown, the eye mask body 100 is provided with ventilation holes 101, which penetrate the side wall of the eye mask body 100. When the user uses the eye mask, it forms a relatively enclosed space around the eyes. The ventilation holes 101, penetrating the side wall of the eye mask body 100, promote air circulation inside and outside the eye mask, allowing fresh air to continuously enter the eye mask body 100 while expelling hot air and moisture from inside. This effectively reduces the temperature and humidity around the eyes, reducing stuffiness and allowing the user to remain comfortable even when using the eye mask for extended periods. The airflow through the ventilation holes 101 balances the air pressure inside and outside the eye mask, preventing excessive pressure on the eyes due to pressure differences, further enhancing comfort.

[0039] Of course, the main body of the eye mask 100 may not have ventilation holes 101.

[0040] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second end of the goggle body 100 may be provided with a chamfer 104. This design can prevent the end of the goggle body 100 from scratching the user's face or the lenses of their glasses when using the goggle.

[0041] Of course, the second end of the eye mask body 100 may not have a chamfer 104.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figures 5-7 As shown, the main body 100 of the goggles may be provided with a snap-fit ​​part 102 or a snap-fit ​​slot, which can be used to snap into the main body of the device. This configuration allows for a detachable connection between the goggles and the main body of the optical device, facilitating the installation and removal of the goggles.

[0043] For example, the eyepiece of the device body may be provided with a slot, and the eye mask body 100 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 102. The snap-fit ​​part 102 can be embedded in the slot to realize the snap-fit ​​between the eye mask body 100 and the device body.

[0044] Of course, the eye mask body 100 may not have a snap-fit ​​part 102 or a snap-fit ​​slot inside, and the eye mask body 100 and the device body may be glued or connected by other means.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the goggle body 100 and the light-shielding component 200 can be a single integrated structure. This configuration can improve the connection strength between the goggle body 100 and the light-shielding component 200, and can simplify the structure of the goggle.

[0046] In other embodiments, the goggle body 100 and the light-shielding component 200 may not be a single integrated structure. For example, the goggle body 100 and the light-shielding component 200 may be detachably connected. With this configuration, if the light-shielding component 200 is damaged, only the light-shielding component 200 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire goggle. In this embodiment, the goggle body 100 and the light-shielding component 200 can be snap-fitted together.

[0047] Optionally, the eye mask body 100 and the light-blocking component 200 can be made of the same material to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the eye mask. For example, both the eye mask body 100 and the light-blocking component 200 can be made of silicone or rubber, or other materials.

[0048] Of course, the materials used to make the main body 100 of the goggles and the light-blocking component 200 can also be different, so that the goggles can be used in different scenarios.

[0049] Based on the goggles provided in the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application also provide an optical device, which may include a device body and the goggles described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the goggles body 100 may be connected to the device body.

[0050] Optical equipment can include observation devices such as telescopes, microscopes, periscopes, rangefinders, and cameras.

[0051] The beneficial effects achieved by the optical device provided in this application embodiment are consistent with the beneficial effects achieved by the eye mask provided in this application embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0052] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
