The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

For example, the electronic device (101) may be referred to as at least one of a virtual reality (VR) device and a mixed reality (MR) device. For example, the electronic device (101) may be referred to as at least one of a virtual reality (VR) device and a mixed reality (MR) device. For example, since the electronic device (101) may be worn on a user's head, it may be referred to as a head-mounted display device (HMD device).
[0051] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) may form (or define) a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device (101). The first housing (210) may form (or define) a portion of a space in which various components of the electronic device (101) may be arranged.

As the second housing (220) is movable relative to the first housing (210), the size of the space (s1) between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can be adjusted (or changed) to correspond to the size of a part (b1) of the user's body. For example, the second housing (220) may be referred to as a sub-housing. For example, the second housing (220) may be referred to as a band housing.
[0053] According to one embodiment, each of the plurality of lens supports (230) may correspond to an eye of a user of the electronic device (101). Each of the plurality of lens supports (230) may face the eye of the user while the electronic device (101) is worn by the user. Each of the plurality of lens supports (230) may be coupled to the first housing (210). For example, a portion of each of the plurality of lens supports (230) may be disposed (or accommodated) inside the first housing (210). For example, another portion of each of the plurality of lens supports (230) may protrude outside the first housing (210).

[0101] According to one embodiment, the bracket (430) may be coupled (or fastened) to the support member (300). The bracket (430) may be movable together with the support member (300). For example, the bracket (430) may be coupled (or fastened) to the coupling portion (330) of the support member (300) through at least one first fastening member (f1) penetrating the bracket (430) and the coupling portion (330), but is not limited thereto. For example, the bracket (430) may be movable together with the support member (300) to move away from or toward the first housing (210). The movement of the bracket (430) may be guided by at least one guide member (420). The bracket (430) may move along at least one guide member (420). For example, the bracket (430) may be linearly movable relative to the first housing (210) along the extension direction of at least one guide member (420). For example, the bracket (430) may be movable relative to the first housing (210) along at least one guide member (420). For example, since the bracket (430) is movable relative to the first housing (210) along at least one guide member (420), it may be referred to as a movable bracket and / or a movable member.
[0102] In one embodiment, the bracket (430) may include at least one opening (431) and / or a through hole (432). The at least one opening (431) may be penetrated by at least one guide member (420). The at least one opening (431) may accommodate at least one guide member (420). The at least one guide member (420) may be inserted into (or accommodated in) the at least one opening (431). The length of the at least one opening (431) may be shorter than the length of the at least one guide member (420). The length of an element may represent a distance in a first direction (e.g., +y direction), and the expression may be utilized substantially the same way below. In one embodiment, the at least one opening (431) may include a first opening (431a) and a second opening (431b).
[0103] According to one embodiment, the first opening (431a) can accommodate the first guide member (421). The first opening (431a) can surround (or enclose) the first guide member (421). The first opening (431a) can pass through the bracket (430). The length of the first opening (431a) can be shorter than the length of the first guide member (421).
[0104] In one embodiment, the second opening (431b) can accommodate the second guide member (422). The second opening (431b) can surround (or enclose) the second guide member (422). The second opening (431b) can pass through the bracket (430). The length of the second opening (431b) can be shorter than the length of the second guide member (422).

[0105] According to one embodiment, the through hole (432) can accommodate a moving member (433) and a load (450). The through hole (432) can pass through the bracket (430). For example, the through hole (432) can have a shape extending along the moving direction of the bracket (430). For example, the length of the through hole (432) can correspond to the length of the bracket (430), but is not limited thereto.
[0106] In one embodiment, the adjustment member (440) can be utilized to move the support member (300). The adjustment member (440) can rotate the rod (450). The adjustment member (440) can be rotatable with respect to the first housing (210). The adjustment member (440) can be connected (or coupled) to the rod (450). As the adjustment member (440) and the rod (450) are connected, the rod (450) can be rotatable together with the adjustment member (440) by the rotation of the adjustment member (440). In one embodiment, the adjustment member (440) can be exposed to the outside of the electronic device (101). For example, the adjustment member (440) can be disposed outside of at least one protective member (410). As the adjustment member (440) is exposed to the outside of the electronic device (101), the user can easily manipulate the adjustment member (440). The adjustment member (440) may be positioned between the bracket (430) and the fastening bracket (460). The adjustment member (440) may be positioned between the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422).
[0107] In one embodiment, the rod (450) can be rotated by the adjusting member (440). For example, the direction of rotation of the rod (450) can be substantially the same as the direction of rotation of the adjusting member (440). The rod (450) can have a shape extending along a first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the rod (450) can extend from the adjusting member (440) in the first direction (e.g., +y direction) to penetrate the bracket (430). For example, the rod (450) can be inserted into the through hole (432) of the bracket (430). The rod (450) can be rotated with respect to the bracket (430). The rod (450) can move the bracket (430) by being rotated by the adjusting member (440). For example, the load (450) may include a guide protrusion (451) for moving the bracket (430). The guide protrusion (451) may have a shape for changing (or converting) the rotational motion of the load (450) into a linear motion. For example, the guide protrusion (451) may extend in a spiral shape. For example, the guide protrusion (451) may have a screw shape.
[0108] According to one embodiment, the bracket (430) may further include a movable member (433). The movable member (433) may move together with the bracket (430). The movable member (433) may be disposed (or accommodated) within a through hole (432) of the bracket (430). For example, the movable member (433) may be formed integrally with the bracket (430), but is not limited thereto. The movable member (433) may be engaged (or coupled) with the rod (450). The movable member (433) may be movable along the rod (450). For example, the movable member (433) may include a guide groove disposed (or formed) on an inner surface of the movable member (433) facing (or surrounding) the rod (450). The guide groove may have a shape corresponding to a shape of the guide protrusion (451). For example, the guide groove may be extended in a spiral shape to correspond to the shape of the guide protrusion (451). The guide protrusion (451) of the rod (450) can maintain the distance (or position) of the support member (300) with respect to the first housing (210) by engaging with the moving member (433).
[0109] For example, as the adjusting member (440) rotates in the first rotational direction (r1), the rod (450) can rotate in the first rotational direction (r1). While the rod (450) rotates along the first rotational direction (r1), the moving member (433) engaged with the guide protrusion (451) of the rod (450) can move along the rod (450) in the first direction (e.g., +y direction). As the moving member (433) moves in the first direction (e.g., +y direction), the bracket (430) coupled to the moving member (433) can move along at least one guide member (420) in the first direction (e.g., +y direction). As the bracket (430) moves in the first direction (e.g., +y direction), the support member (300) coupled to the bracket (430) can move away from the first housing (210). For example, as the bracket (430) moves in a first direction (e.g., +y direction), the distance between the support member (300) and the first housing (210) can be changed (or adjusted) from the first distance (d1) to a second distance (d2). As the adjusting member (440) rotates in a second rotational direction (r2) opposite to the first rotational direction (r1), the rod (450) can rotate in the second rotational direction (r2). While the rod (450) rotates along the second rotational direction (r2), the moving member (433) engaged with the guide protrusion (451) of the rod (450) can move along the rod (450) in a direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., +y direction) (e.g., -y direction). As the movable member (433) moves in a direction (e.g., -y direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., +y direction), the bracket (430) coupled to the movable member (433) can move in a direction (e.g., -y direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., +y direction) along at least one guide member (420).As the bracket (430) moves in a direction (e.g., -y direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., +y direction), the support member (300) coupled to the bracket (430) can move closer to the first housing (210). For example, as the bracket (430) moves in a direction (e.g., -y direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., +y direction), the distance between the support member (300) and the first housing (210) can be changed (or adjusted) from the second distance (d2) to the first distance (d1).
[0110] In one embodiment, the fastening bracket (460) can couple the third adjustment module (400) and the first housing (210). The fastening bracket (460) can fasten the third adjustment module (400) to the first housing (210). The fastening bracket (460) can be disposed on the first housing (210).

At least one guide member (420) can be coupled to (or fastened to) the first housing (210) via the fastening bracket (460). In one embodiment, the fastening bracket (460) can include at least one insertion hole (461) and / or at least one fastening hole (462).
[0111] According to one embodiment, at least one insertion hole (461) can be penetrated by at least one guide member (420). The at least one guide member (420) can be partially inserted into the at least one insertion hole (461). The at least one insertion hole (461) can penetrate the fastening bracket (460). For example, the at least one insertion hole (461) can have a shape extending along a first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the at least one insertion hole (461) can include a first insertion hole (461a) and a second insertion hole (461b). The first insertion hole (461a) can accommodate the first guide member (421). The first guide member (421) can be inserted into the first insertion hole (461a). The second insertion hole (461b) can accommodate the second guide member (422). The second guide member (422) can be inserted into the second insertion hole (461b). The second insertion hole (461b) can be spaced apart from the first insertion hole (461a) in a second direction (e.g., -x direction).
[0112] According to one embodiment, at least one fastening hole (462) can accommodate at least one second fastening member (f2) for coupling the fastening bracket (460) and at least one guide member (420). The at least one fastening hole (462) can extend along a third direction (e.g., a -z direction) that is perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., a +y direction) and the second direction (e.g., a -x direction). The at least one fastening hole (462) can be connected to at least one insertion hole (461). For example, the at least one fastening hole (462) can include at least one first fastening hole (462a) that is connected to a first insertion hole (461a). For example, the at least one fastening hole (462) can include at least one second fastening hole (462b) that is connected to a second insertion hole (461b). At least one guide member (420) can be fastened (or fixed) to the fastening bracket (460) via at least one second fastening member (f2). For example, at least one second fastening member (f2) can penetrate the fastening bracket (460) and the at least one guide member (420) along a third direction (e.g., the -z direction). As the at least one second fastening member (f2) penetrates the fastening bracket (460) and the at least one guide member (420), the at least one guide member (420) can be disposed on the first housing (210). For example, the at least one second fastening member (f2) can couple the first guide member (421) and the fastening bracket (460) by penetrating at least one first fastening hole (462a). For example, at least one second fastening member (f2) can connect the second guide member (422) and the fastening bracket (460) by penetrating at least one second fastening hole (462b).
[0113] In one embodiment, the fastening flange (470) can support at least one guide member (420) so as to reduce breakage of the at least one guide member (420). The fastening flange (470) can be connected to the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422). For example, the fastening flange (470) can be coupled to one end of the first guide member (421) facing the support member (300) and one end of the second guide member (422). The fastening flange (470) can be coupled (or fastened) to the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422). For example, at least one third fastening member (f3) can connect the fastening flange (470) to the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422) by penetrating through one end of the first guide member (421) and the fastening flange (470) and one end of the second guide member (422) and the fastening flange (470). As the fastening flange (470) connects the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422), the stress applied to the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422) can be distributed. The fastening flange (470) can reduce the breakage of the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422) by distributing the stress applied to the first guide member (421) and the second guide member (422).
[0114] In order for the electronic device (101) to provide a realistic virtual reality to the user, the electronic device (101) may require stable maintenance of its position while the user wears the electronic device (101). The support member (300) may be in close contact with a part of the user's body while the user wears the electronic device (101) in order to stably maintain the position of the electronic device (101). Since the body shape of each user is different, the support member (300) may be movable with respect to the first housing (210) in order to be in close contact with a part of the user's body. Since the third adjustment module (400) for moving the support member (300) with respect to the first housing (210) is arranged between the first housing (210) and the support member (300), the support member (300) may be spaced apart from the first housing (210) in a first direction (e.g., +y direction). Since the support member (300) is spaced apart from the first housing (210), when an external force is applied to the support member (300) in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) and / or a fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) opposite to the third direction (e.g., -z direction), a moment (or moment force) may be applied to the third adjustment module (400). When a moment (or moment force) is applied to the third adjustment module (400), at least a portion of the third adjustment module (400) may be damaged.

For example, the height of the second opening (431b) may be greater than the height of the second guide member (422).
[0129] For example, since the thickness of at least one opening (431) is greater than the thickness of at least one guide member (420), when an external force is applied to the support member (300) in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) and / or a fourth direction (e.g., +z direction), the support member (300) and the bracket (430) may be slightly tilted (or rotated).

[0133] According to one embodiment, the first region (431a-1) may include one end (431a-4) of a first opening (431a) facing a first direction (e.g., +y direction). The height (or cross-sectional area) of the first region (431a-1) may be greater than that of the third region (431a-3). The height (or cross-sectional area) of the first region (431a-1) may increase as it extends along the first direction (e.g., +y direction).
[0134] According to one embodiment, the second region (431a-2) may include the other end (431a-5) of the first opening (431a). The other end (431a-5) of the first opening (431a) may be opposite to the one end (431a-4) of the first opening (431a) included in the first region (431a-1). The height (or cross-sectional area) of the second region (431a-2) may be greater than that of the third region (431a-3). The height (or cross-sectional area) of the second region (431a-2) may increase as it extends in a direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., the +y direction) (e.g., the -y direction). The height of the second region (431a-2) may decrease as it extends in the first direction (e.g., the +y direction).
[0135] According to one embodiment, the third region (431a-3) may connect the first region (431a-1) and the second region (431a-2). The third region (431a-3) may be arranged (or positioned) between the first region (431a-1) and the second region (431a-2). The height of the third region (431a-3) may be smaller than the height of the first region (431a-1) and the height of the second region (431a-2).
[0136] According to one embodiment, the bracket (430) may further include a first inclined surface (435), a second inclined surface (436), and / or a first inner surface (437).
[0137] According to one embodiment, the first inclined surface (435) may be disposed within the first opening (431a). For example, the first inclined surface (435) may be disposed within the second region (431a-2). For example, at least a portion of the first inclined surface (435) may be disposed within the other end (431a-5) of the first opening (431a). The first inclined surface (435) may be inclined with respect to the first guide member (421). The first inclined surface (435) may have a shape inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the first inclined surface (435) may have a shape rotated in a third rotational direction (r3) with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). The first inclined surface (435) may contact the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4). For example, the first inclined surface (435) may contact the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4). The other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) may be opposite to the one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421). The other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) may face in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction). The other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) may face in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction).
[0138] According to one embodiment, the second inclined surface (436) may be disposed within the first opening (431a). For example, the second inclined surface (436) may be disposed within the first region (431a-1). For example, at least a portion of the second inclined surface (436) may be disposed within one end (431a-4) of the first opening (431a). The second inclined surface (436) may be inclined with respect to the first guide member (421). The second inclined surface (436) may have a shape inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the second inclined surface (436) may have a shape rotated in a third rotational direction (r3) with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). The second inclined surface (436) can support the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotation direction (r4). For example, the second inclined surface (436) can contact one side (421a) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotation direction (r4). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second inclined surface (436) can be spaced apart from one side (421a) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotation direction (r4).
[0139] In one embodiment, the angle between the second inclined surface (436) and the first guide member (421) may be different from the angle between the first inclined surface (435) and the first guide member (421). For example, the second inclined surface (436) and the first inclined surface (435) may not be parallel. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The angle between the second inclined surface (436) and the first guide member (421) may be substantially equal to the angle between the first inclined surface (435) and the first guide member (421).
[0140] According to one embodiment, the first inner surface (437) may be connected to the first inclined surface (435). The first inner surface (437) may have a shape extending in a first direction (e.g., +y direction) from the first inclined surface (435). The first inner surface (437) may face the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) (or the support member (300)) is not tilted. When the bracket (430) (or the support member (300)) is not tilted, a third direction (e.g., -z direction) toward which the first inner surface (437) faces may be opposite to a fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) toward which the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) faces.
[0141] According to one embodiment, at least one first elastic body (481c) may include a plurality of first elastic members (481c-1, 481c-2). Among the plurality of first elastic members (481c-1, 481c-2), the first elastic member (481c-1) may press the first guide member (421) via the first buffer plate (481a). For example, the first elastic member (481c-1) may press the first buffer plate (481a) in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction). Among the plurality of first elastic members (481c-1, 481c-2), the second elastic member (481c-2) may press one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421). For example, the second elastic member (481c-2) can press the first buffer plate (481a) in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction). The second elastic member (481c-2) can be spaced apart from the first elastic member (481c-1) in the first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the first elastic member (481c-1) and the second elastic member (481c-2) can be arranged (or aligned) in the first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the fastening bracket (460) (or the first housing (210) of FIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e) can be closer to the first elastic member (481c-1) among the first elastic member (481c-1) and the second elastic member (481c-2). For example, the distance between the fastening bracket (460) and the first elastic member (481c-1) may be smaller than the distance between the fastening bracket (460) and the second elastic member (481c-2). For example, the distance between the first housing (210) and the first elastic member (481c-1) may be smaller than the distance between the first housing (210) and the second elastic member (481c-2). For example, the distance between the support member (300) and the first elastic member (481c-1) may be longer than the distance between the support member (300) and the second elastic member (481c-2).
[0142] According to one embodiment, the magnitude of the force exerted by the first elastic member (481c-1) on the first guide member (421) may be greater than the magnitude of the force exerted by the second elastic member (481c-2) on the first guide member (421). For example, when the first guide member (421) and the bracket (430) are separated, the height of the first elastic member (481c-1) may be longer than the height of the second elastic member (481c-2). When the first guide member (421) and the bracket (430) are separated, if the height of the first elastic member (481c-1) is longer than the height of the second elastic member (481c-2), when the first guide member (421) and the bracket (430) are combined, the degree to which the first elastic member (481c-1) is compressed by the first guide member (421) may be greater than the degree to which the second elastic member (481c-2) is compressed by the first guide member (421). For example, the elastic coefficient of the first elastic member (481c-1) may be greater than the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member (481c-2). For example, when an external force is applied to the support member (300) in the third direction (e.g., +z direction) and / or the fourth direction (e.g., -z direction), the magnitude of the stress (or moment) applied to one area of the first guide member (421) corresponding to the first elastic member (481c-1) (or one area of the bracket (430)) may be greater than the magnitude of the stress (or moment) applied to another area of the first guide member (421) corresponding to the second elastic member (481c-2) (or another area of the bracket (430)). The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may provide a structure in which damage to the first adjustment module (400) may be reduced because the magnitude of the elastic force provided by the first elastic member (481c-1) is greater than the magnitude of the elastic force provided by the second elastic member (481c-2). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.For example, the magnitude of the force that the first elastic member (481c-1) exerts on the first guide member (421) may be substantially the same as the magnitude of the force that the second elastic member (481c-2) exerts on the first guide member (421). For example, when the first guide member (421) and the bracket (430) are separated, the height of the first elastic member (481c-1) may be substantially the same as the height of the second elastic member (481c-2). For example, the elastic coefficient of the first elastic member (481c-1) may be substantially the same as the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member (481c-2).
[0143] For example, when an external force in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) is applied to the support member (300), a moment (or moment force) that rotates (or tilts) the bracket (430) coupled to the support member (300) may be applied to the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3). For example, when the electronic device (101) collides with the ground, an external force in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) may be applied to the support member (300). As a moment that tilts the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is applied to the bracket (430), at least one first elastic body (481c) within the first opening (431a) may be compressed. When a moment for tilting the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is applied, the bracket (430) may not tilt because the first inner surface (437) of the bracket (430) and the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) are in contact. As the moment for tilting the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is cushioned by the deformation of at least one first elastic body (481c), damage to the bracket (430) and the first guide member (421) may be reduced.
[0144] For example, when an external force in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) is applied to the support member (300), a moment (or moment force) that tilts the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) may be applied to the bracket (430) coupled to the support member (300). For example, when the electronic device (101) is worn by a user, an external force in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) may be applied to the support member (300). As the moment that tilts the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) is applied to the bracket (430), at least one first elastic body (481c) within the first opening (431a) may be compressed. As the at least one first elastic body (481c) is deformed, the bracket (430) may be tilted with respect to the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first guide member (421), the first inclined surface (435) can come into contact with the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first guide member (421), the second inclined surface (436) can come into contact with one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421). As the moment of tilting the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) is cushioned by the deformation of at least one first elastic body (481c), damage to the bracket (430) and the first guide member (421) can be reduced.
[0145] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of reducing damage to the third adjustment module (400) by the first buffer portion (481) that buffers the impact caused by an external force applied to the support member (300). Since the first guide member (421) is elastically supported by the first buffer portion (481) disposed within the first opening (431a), the electronic device (101) may not require a separate component for protecting the first adjustment module (400). Since a separate component for protecting the first adjustment module (400) is not required, the size and / or weight of the electronic device (101) may not increase.
[0146] FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cutaway view of an exemplary support member and a third adjustment module according to one embodiment, and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a cutaway view of an exemplary support member and a third adjustment module according to one embodiment.
[0147] The third control module (400) of FIGS. 7a and 7b may be a third control module (400) to which a third inclined surface (438) and a fourth inclined surface (439) are added to the third control module (400) of FIGS. 5a and 5b, so a redundant description will be omitted.
[0148] Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, according to one embodiment, the bracket (430) may further include a third inclined surface (438) and / or a fourth inclined surface (439).
[0149] According to one embodiment, the third inclined surface (438) may be disposed within the first opening (431a). For example, the third inclined surface (438) may be disposed within the first region (431a-1). For example, at least a portion of the third inclined surface (438) may be disposed within one end (431a-4) of the first opening (431a). The third inclined surface (438) may be inclined with respect to the first guide member (421) and the first inclined surface (435). The third inclined surface (438) may have a shape inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction) and the first inclined surface (435). For example, the third inclined surface (438) may have a shape rotated in a fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). The third inclined surface (438) can come into contact with the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3). For example, the third inclined surface (438) can come into contact with the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3).
[0150] According to one embodiment, the fourth inclined surface (439) may be disposed within the first opening (431a). For example, the fourth inclined surface (439) may be disposed within the second region (431a-2). For example, at least a portion of the fourth inclined surface (439) may be disposed within the other end (431a-5) of the first opening (431a). The fourth inclined surface (439) may be inclined with respect to the first guide member (421). The fourth inclined surface (439) may have a shape inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). For example, the fourth inclined surface (439) may have a shape rotated in the fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first direction (e.g., +y direction). The fourth inclined surface (439) can come into contact with the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3). For example, the fourth inclined surface (439) can come into contact with one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3).
[0151] In one embodiment, the angle between the fourth inclined surface (439) and the first guide member (421) may be different from the angle between the third inclined surface (438) and the first guide member (421). For example, the fourth inclined surface (439) and the third inclined surface (438) may not be parallel. However, this is not limited thereto. The angle between the fourth inclined surface (439) and the first guide member (421) may be substantially the same as the angle between the third inclined surface (438) and the first guide member (421).
[0152] For example, when an external force in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) is applied to the support member (300), a moment (or moment force) that rotates (or tilts) the bracket (430) coupled to the support member (300) may be applied to the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3). As the moment that tilts the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is applied to the bracket (430), at least one first elastic body (481c) within the first opening (431a) may be compressed. As the at least one first elastic body (481c) is deformed, the bracket (430) may be tilted in the third rotational direction (r3) with respect to the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3), the third inclined surface (438) can come into contact with the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the third rotational direction (r3), the fourth inclined surface (439) can come into contact with one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421). As the moment of tilting the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is buffered by the deformation of at least one first elastic body (481c), damage to the bracket (430) and the first guide member (421) can be reduced.
[0153] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of reducing damage to the third adjustment module (400) by the first buffer portion (481) that supports tilting of the support member (300) so that an impact due to an external force applied to the support member (300) is buffered.
[0154] FIG. 8a is an exploded perspective view of a third adjustment module according to one embodiment, and FIG. 8b is an exploded perspective view of a third adjustment module according to one embodiment.
[0155] The third control module (400) of FIGS. 8a and 8b may be a third control module (400) in which the arrangement relationship of at least one buffer member (480) and at least one guide member (420) and the structure of the bracket (430) are changed from the third control module (400) of FIGS. 5a and 5b, and therefore, redundant descriptions will be omitted.
[0156] Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B , according to one embodiment, at least one receiving opening (434) may have a shape that is open toward a fourth direction (e.g., a -z direction). For example, the first receiving opening (434a) may have a shape that is open toward the fourth direction (e.g., a +z direction). For example, the second receiving opening (434b) may have a shape that is open toward the fourth direction (e.g., a +z direction).
[0157] According to one embodiment, when the third adjustment module (400) is manufactured, at least one buffer member (480) may be positioned (or assembled) within at least one receiving opening (434) along a third direction (e.g., -z direction). For example, when the third adjustment module (400) is manufactured, the first buffer member (481) may be positioned (or assembled) within the first receiving opening (434a) along the third direction (e.g., -z direction). For example, when the third adjustment module (400) is manufactured, the second buffer member (482) may be positioned (or assembled) within the second receiving opening (434b) along the third direction (e.g., -z direction).
[0158] In one embodiment, the first buffer plate (481a) may face the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421). For example, the first buffer plate (481a) may support (or be in contact with) the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421). The first support plate (481b) may be at least partially exposed to the outside of the first receiving opening (434a). At least one first elastic body (481c) may be disposed on the first buffer plate (481a).
[0159] In one embodiment, the second buffer plate (482a) may face the other side (422b) of the second guide member (422). The other side (422b) of the second guide member (422) may be opposite to one side (422a) of the second guide member (422). For example, a fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) toward which the other side (422b) of the second guide member (422) faces may be opposite to a third direction (e.g., -z direction) toward which the one side (422a) of the second guide member (422) faces. For example, the second buffer plate (482a) may support (or be in contact with) the other side (422b) of the second guide member (422). The second support plate (482b) may be at least partially exposed to the outside of the second receiving opening (434b). At least one second elastic body (482c) can be placed on the second buffer plate (482a).
[0160] According to one embodiment, the bracket (430) may include a third inclined surface (438), a fourth inclined surface (439), and / or a second inner surface (810). The third inclined surface (438) and the fourth inclined surface (439) of FIGS. 8A and 8B may be substantially the same as the third inclined surface (438) and the fourth inclined surface (439) of FIGS. 7A and 7B, and thus, a redundant description thereof will be omitted.
[0161] According to one embodiment, the second inner surface (810) may be connected to the fourth inclined surface (439). The second inner surface (810) may have a shape extending in a first direction (e.g., +y direction) from the fourth inclined surface (439). The second inner surface (810) may face one side (421a) of the first guide member (421) when the bracket (430) (or the support member (300)) is not tilted. When the bracket (430) (or the support member (300)) is not tilted, the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) toward which the second inner surface (810) faces may be opposite to the third direction (e.g., -z direction) toward which the one side (421a) of the first guide member (421) faces.
[0162] For example, when an external force in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) is applied to the support member (300), a moment (or moment force) that rotates (or tilts) the bracket (430) coupled to the support member (300) may be applied to the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3). For example, when the electronic device (101) collides with the ground, an external force in a third direction (e.g., -z direction) may be applied to the support member (300). As a moment that tilts the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is applied to the bracket (430), at least one first elastic body (481c) within the first opening (431a) may be compressed. When a moment for tilting the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is applied, the bracket (430) may not tilt because the second inner surface (810) of the bracket (430) and one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421) are in contact. As the moment for tilting the bracket (430) in the third rotational direction (r3) is cushioned by the deformation of at least one first elastic body (481c), damage to the bracket (430) and the first guide member (421) may be reduced.
[0163] For example, when an external force in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) is applied to the support member (300), a moment (or moment force) that tilts the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) may be applied to the bracket (430) coupled to the support member (300). For example, when the electronic device (101) is worn by a user, an external force in the fourth direction (e.g., +z direction) may be applied to the support member (300). As the moment that tilts the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) is applied to the bracket (430), at least one first elastic body (481c) within the first opening (431a) may be compressed. As the at least one first elastic body (481c) is deformed, the bracket (430) may be tilted with respect to the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first guide member (421), the third inclined surface (438) can come into contact with the other surface (421b) of the first guide member (421). As the bracket (430) is tilted in the fourth rotational direction (r4) with respect to the first guide member (421), the fourth inclined surface (439) can come into contact with one surface (421a) of the first guide member (421). As the moment of tilting the bracket (430) in the fourth rotational direction (r4) is buffered by the deformation of at least one first elastic body (481c), damage to the bracket (430) and the first guide member (421) can be reduced.
[0164] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of reducing damage to the third adjustment module (400) due to movement of the support member (300) by means of the first buffer portion (481) that buffers the impact caused by an external force applied to the support member (300).
[0165] An electronic device may include a support member for supporting a portion of the user's body (e.g., the forehead). The support member of the electronic device may be subject to various external forces while worn by the user. As the external force is applied, the risk of damage to the support member may increase. The electronic device may require a structure to reduce the shock transmitted to the support member supporting the user.
[0166] An electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E) is provided. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may include a housing (e.g., a first housing (210) of FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E). According to one embodiment, the electronic device may include at least one guide member (e.g., at least one guide member (420) of FIGS. 4C, 4D, and 4E) extending from the housing. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may include at least one opening (e.g., at least one opening (431) of FIG. 4D) into which the at least one guide member is inserted, and a bracket (e.g., the bracket (430) of FIGS. 4C and 4D) movable along the at least one guide member to move closer to or away from the housing. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may include a support member (e.g., support member (300) of FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D) coupled to the bracket and configured to move together with the bracket and support a portion of a user's body while the electronic device is worn by the user.
