Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Embodiments

The optical waveguide lens is a planar structure lens, which is generally made of high refractive index glass or resin material. Since the AR glass needs to watch the display content and the real world at the same time, the correction lens 2 needs to be arranged between the optical waveguide lens 1 and the human eye when solving the vision correction problem of the AR glass.

[0041] The present application injects liquid into the microcavity in an electronic control manner.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a light wave guide lens with vision correction function, which comprises a correction lens 2, a light wave guide lens 1, a power mechanism 5, a first liquid storage pipeline 3, a second liquid storage pipeline 4, an electromagnetic valve 7 and a dioptric power display device 6.

[0043] The correction lens 2 is arranged between the light wave guide lens 1 and a human eye.

[0044] The correction lens 2 comprises a microcavity, a kind of liquid is arranged in the microcavity, and a plurality of the liquids are separated by inert gas; by adjusting the kind of liquid arranged in the microcavity, the dioptric power of the light wave guide lens 1 is adjusted, in addition, only gas can be arranged in the microcavity, and the focal length of the light wave guide lens 1 is determined by the gas.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the microcavity is the same as the cross section of the corresponding light wave guide lens 1, and there is an air gap between the microcavity and the light wave guide lens 1.

[0046] The power mechanism 5 is communicated with the first liquid storage pipeline 3, the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 are both communicated with the microcavity; different liquids are arranged in the first liquid storage pipeline 3, and the different liquids are separated by gas, and the gas in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 can be the same or different, and the gas in the second liquid storage pipeline 4 can be the same.

[0047] The liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 is driven to flow into the microcavity by the power mechanism 5, so as to replace the original liquid in the microcavity and discharge the original liquid in the microcavity to the second liquid storage pipeline 4; or the liquid in the second liquid storage pipeline 4 is sucked into the microcavity by the power mechanism 5, and the original liquid in the microcavity is discharged to the first liquid storage pipeline 3, the electromagnetic valve 7 is communicated with the second liquid storage pipeline 4. The dioptric power display device 6 is connected with the power mechanism 5, and is used for displaying the dioptric power corresponding to the power output by the power mechanism 5.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 are arranged in a spiral or arc winding manner to increase the length and save space; the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 store liquids with different refractive indexes in an alternating form of liquid with refractive index n1-inert gas (or nitrogen) - liquid with refractive index n2-air (or nitrogen); when the power mechanism 5 and the electronic valve are opened at the same time, the liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3, the second liquid storage pipeline 4 and the microcavity can be driven to flow, so that the liquid in the microcavity is replaced by controlling the voltage of the power mechanism 5; because the microcavity has a Fresnel type microstructure surface, different liquids matched with the Fresnel structure can produce different optical powers, that is, different diopter adjustments are realized; by calibration, the flow of the liquid and the opening time of the power mechanism 5 are corresponding to the type of liquid in the microcavity, and the type of liquid corresponds to the focal length of light, so that the data are converted and displayed in the form of diopter on the diopter display device 6.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 can be hoses made of Teflon, silica gel and the like, and the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 can be or other liquids that are not easy to chemically react with the materials of the first liquid storage pipeline 3, the second liquid storage pipeline 4 and the microcavity, the inert gas in the embodiment of the present application is nitrogen or an inert gas of group 0 elements or a gas that is not soluble in water, wherein the group 0 elements are IUPAC 18 group elements, including helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn) and gas og (Og), which can emit light when electrified, and generally has stable chemical properties due to the full arrangement of the outermost electrons. It is not easy to chemically react.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the power mechanism 5 and the electromagnetic valve 7 need to be triggered synchronously, and the power mechanism 5 can realize positive pressure and negative pressure, that is, the liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 can be pressed into the microcavity, and the original liquid in the microcavity can be discharged to the second liquid storage pipeline 4; or the liquid in the second liquid storage pipeline 4 can be sucked into the microcavity, and the original liquid in the microcavity can be discharged to the first liquid storage pipeline 3.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the embodiment of the present application, the microcavity includes a first shell 23, a spiral microchannel 24, a first liquid inlet 21 and a first liquid outlet 22;

[0052] The spiral microchannel 24 is arranged in the first shell 23, and the first liquid inlet 21 and the first liquid outlet 22 are respectively communicated with the spiral microchannel 24;

[0053] The liquid in the microcavity flows into the spiral microchannel 24 through the first liquid inlet 21, and then is driven by the power mechanism 5 to flow in the spiral microchannel 24, and finally flows out through the first liquid outlet 22. The liquid flows in the spiral microchannel 24 according to the flow path 25.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the liquid in the microcavity is several microns to several hundred microns; the inner part of the front shell of the microcavity has a Fresnel surface, which can be designed to have different focal lengths and can be positive or negative; taking the case where the structure of the surface of the front shell of the microcavity is positive as an example, when the refractive index of the liquid is less than that of the surface of the front shell of the microcavity, the entire microcavity corresponds to a positive focal length, in which case the smaller the refractive index of the liquid, the shorter the focal length; when the refractive index of the liquid is greater than that of the surface of the front shell of the microcavity, the entire microcavity corresponds to a negative focal length, in which case the greater the refractive index of the liquid, the shorter the focal length; when the refractive index of the liquid is equal to that of the surface of the front shell of the microcavity, the entire microcavity is equivalent to a flat optical structure, and the focal length is infinite.

[0055] The spiral microchannel 24 is arranged in the first shell 23, which can make the liquid flow from the first liquid inlet 21 to the first liquid outlet 22, and vice versa, thereby ensuring that the liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 or the second liquid storage pipeline 4 does not form a flow break when entering the microcavity, and even finally forms a bubble, and at the same time ensuring that the gas between different liquids in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 or the second liquid storage pipeline 4 flows smoothly out of the liquid originally in the microcavity.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the power mechanism 5 is a manual piston tube or a piezoelectric pump or other micro-pump. Embodiment

[0057] As shown in FIG. 4, the AR glasses of the second embodiment are different from those of the first embodiment in that the AR glasses further include a power mechanism 5, a first liquid storage pipeline 3 and a second liquid storage pipeline 4, but do not include an electromagnetic valve.

[0058] The power mechanism 5 is connected to the first liquid storage pipeline 3, the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 are both connected to the microcavity, the second liquid storage pipeline 4 is further connected to the power mechanism 5, different liquids are arranged in the first liquid storage pipeline 3, and the different liquids are separated by gas;

[0059] The liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 is driven by the power mechanism 5 to flow into the microcavity, so as to replace the original liquid in the microcavity and discharge the original liquid in the microcavity to the second liquid storage pipeline 4; or the liquid in the second liquid storage pipeline 4 is sucked into the microcavity by the power mechanism 5, and the original liquid in the microcavity is discharged to the first liquid storage pipeline 3.

[0060] The end of the second liquid storage pipeline 4 (connected to the electromagnetic valve 7 in the first embodiment) is connected to one end of the power mechanism 5 to form a closed loop structure, so that the power mechanism 5 can realize the flow of liquid in the microcavity and the liquid storage pipeline, and achieve the effect of switching the liquid in the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 and changing the focal length. The power mechanism 5 in this embodiment can be a one-way pressure pump. Embodiment

[0061] It should be noted that the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment or the second embodiment is that the microcavity structure is different and the way of injecting liquid is different.

[0062] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 5, the microcavity includes a second housing 27, a first exhaust port 26 and a second liquid inlet 29; the first exhaust port 26 and the second liquid inlet 29 are respectively in communication with the second housing 27. In this third embodiment, no isolating piece is arranged in the microcavity, so the microcavity stores liquid 28.

[0063] In the embodiment of the application, as long as different refractive index liquids can be injected into the microcavity, it belongs to the protection scope of the embodiment of the application, that is, if a non-electronic control mode is adopted, such as manually adjusting the liquid injection into the microcavity, the AR glasses will provide the user with a plurality of diopter numbers corresponding to the first liquid storage pipeline 3 and the second liquid storage pipeline 4 when leaving the factory. The user can inject the liquid corresponding to the user's own diopter number from the second liquid inlet 29. A detachable sealing plug is arranged on the microcavity to ensure that the microcavity can be sealed after being filled with liquid. The user can also replace the liquid to realize the adjustment of the diopter. In this case, the microcavity does not need a cavity interval. When injecting liquid, it is recommended to slowly inject from the bottom second liquid inlet 29 to prevent bubbles. When discharging liquid, it is also recommended to extract from the bottom second liquid inlet 29 to prevent liquid droplets from remaining. Embodiment

[0064] As shown in Figure 6, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the third embodiment is that the microcavity structure is different.

[0065] The microcavity includes a third housing 35, a second exhaust port 31, a third exhaust port 30, a third liquid inlet 36, a fourth liquid inlet 37 and an isolating piece 33; the isolating piece 33 is arranged in the third housing 35 to divide the third housing 35 into a first cavity 32 and a second cavity 34.

[0066] The second exhaust port 31 and the third liquid inlet 36 are respectively in communication with the first cavity 32, and the third exhaust port 30 and the fourth liquid inlet 37 are respectively in communication with the second cavity 34.

[0067] The surface of the spacer 33 can be convex or concave, the concave type mainly corresponds to the concave lens, the convex type corresponds to the convex lens, and the same reason can also only keep one chamber, but the ability to adjust the refractive power is decreased, and the method of keeping one chamber specifically includes: not using one of the chambers, or making the hollow of one of the chambers solid, so that the other chamber cannot keep the liquid.

[0068] The optical waveguide lens of the fourth embodiment has better imaging effect than the third embodiment.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
