Description

smart glasses

[0001] The present embodiments relate to smart glasses, and more specifically, to smart glasses having a waterproof structure.

[0002]

[0003] Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays virtual objects onto the real world seen by the user. It is also called Mixed Reality (MR) because it combines a virtual world with real-time additional information to display a single image. As a hybrid VR system that fuses real and virtual environments, research and development has been underway since the late 1990s, primarily in the United States.

[0004] Augmented reality, a concept that complements the real world with a virtual world, uses a virtual environment created with computer graphics, but the real environment is the main focus. Computer graphics play the role of providing additional information necessary for the real environment. This means that by overlapping a 3D virtual image onto the real-world image the user is viewing, the distinction between the real environment and the virtual screen becomes blurred.

[0005] Augmented reality technology, which combines the real environment with virtual objects, allows users to view the actual surroundings, providing a greater sense of realism and additional information. For example, when a smartphone camera is pointed at the surroundings, information such as the location of nearby animals and phone numbers is displayed as a 3D image.

[0006] Augmented reality is utilized in remote medical diagnostic broadcasting, broadcasting, architectural design, and manufacturing process management. With the recent widespread adoption of smartphones, augmented reality has entered a full-scale commercialization phase, and various products are being developed in the gaming and mobile solution industries, as well as in the education sector.

[0007] One way to realize augmented reality is for users to wear smart glasses. Smart glasses generally contain technical components such as small electronic parts, sensors, and displays.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to arrange them in a way that prevents problems caused by moisture ingress into the electronic components or lenses placed inside the smart glasses.

[0009]

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems, and the technical objective of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide smart glasses that include a waterproof structure in an area where the lens frame of the smart glasses is formed, an area where the hinge module is formed, and an area where the temple frame is formed.

[0011] The problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those described above, and other problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0012]

[0013] Smart glasses according to embodiments for solving the technical problem described above include: a lens frame to which a pair of lenses are combined; a pair of temple frames hinged to the lens frame; and a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) that electrically connects the lenses and electronic components disposed inside the temple frames, wherein the temple frames include an outer cover forming an internal space in which the electronic components are disposed; an inner cover coupled to the outer cover and having a contact portion that contacts the user's skin; and a first waterproof member and a second waterproof member formed in the internal space and preventing moisture from entering from the outside, wherein one side of the flexible printed circuit board may meet the first waterproof member and the other side may meet the second waterproof member.

[0014] According to embodiments, the outer cover includes a protrusion formed in a border area that protrudes toward the inner cover; and a seating portion formed on the protrusion to form a step with the protrusion, on which the flexible printed circuit board is seated, wherein the first waterproof member may meet the protrusion and the second waterproof member may meet the seating portion.

[0015] According to the embodiments, the height at which the protrusion is formed may be greater than the height at which the seating portion is formed.

[0016] According to embodiments, the protrusion may include: a first protrusion formed on the upper side of the edge area of ​​the outer cover and extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer cover; a second protrusion formed on the lower side of the edge area of ​​the outer cover and extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer cover; and a third protrusion formed extending in a vertical direction to the first protrusion and the second protrusion and connecting the first protrusion and the second protrusion.

[0017] According to embodiments, the seating portion may be formed on the third protrusion.

[0018] According to embodiments, the temple frame may further include a pair of hinge modules that allow the temple frame to rotate relative to the lens frame, and the outer cover may be formed such that the lower surface has a step in the area where the hinge modules are placed.

[0019] According to the embodiments, the height of the lower surface may decrease as it extends from the outer cover side to the inner cover side.

[0020] According to embodiments, the inner cover may be combined with the outer cover to form a gap with the lower surface.

[0021]

[0022] According to the embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention provide smart glasses that include a waterproof structure in the area where the lens frame of the smart glasses is formed, the area where the hinge module is formed, and the area where the temple frame is formed, thereby preventing problems caused by moisture ingress into the smart glasses.

[0045]

[0046] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments. FIG. 2 is a disassembled drawing of a lens frame (100) to which a lens (130) of smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments is attached. FIG. 3 is a disassembled drawing of a temple frame (200) of smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments. FIG. 4 is a drawing with the temple frame (200) of smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments removed. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing an area of ​​smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments that requires waterproofing.

[0047] Hereinafter, in describing the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments, the left and right directions are described based on the x-axis direction, the up and down directions are described based on the y-axis direction, and the directions facing the front and back are described based on the z-axis direction.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may include a lens frame (100), a temple frame (200), and a hinge module (300).

[0049] Smart glasses (1000) are glasses that incorporate digital technology and may correspond to a wearable device designed to allow a user to check and interact with various information in real time. Smart glasses (1000) can provide the user with an experience that combines reality and digital information through Augmented Reality (AR) technology. For example, smart glasses (1000) can project a digital screen (such as a hologram or graphic) onto a lens (130) attached to a lens frame (100) to overlay virtual information onto the real world. Alternatively, for example, smart glasses (1000) can provide information by having a mounted camera (132) or sensor scan the user's surrounding environment to create a 3D model or recognize specific objects.

[0050] The lens frame (100) can be positioned at a location corresponding to the user's eyes while worn on the user's body. The lens frame (100) can be combined with a pair of lenses (130), and the lenses (130) can be positioned to cover the user's eyes while worn on the user. More specifically, the lenses (130) can be a type of optical module configured to display an image and, when the user wears the smart glasses (1000), display the image in a way that the image of both eyes is combined and perceived.

[0051] A lens frame (100) may be equipped with a camera (132) mounted inside, and the camera lens (101) of the mounted camera (132) may be exposed to the outside of the lens frame (100). That is, the camera (132) mounted inside the smart glasses (1000) may provide an image through the camera lens (101) exposed to the outside of the lens frame (100). As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, only one camera lens (101) may be formed, or, unlike as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two may be formed. If two camera lenses (101) are formed, they may be placed on each side of a pair of lenses (130).

[0052] The lens frame (100) may include a rear frame (110) that exposes the rear of a pair of lenses (130) and a front frame (120) that is combined with the rear frame (110) and exposes the front of a pair of lenses (130). That is, the rear frame (110) and the front frame (120) are combined with each other, and the lens (130) is combined between the rear frame (110) and the front frame (120), so that the lens (130) can be combined to the lens frame (100).

[0053] The rear frame (110) and the front frame (120) may each include an exposure groove (10, 20) to expose the lens (130). More specifically, the rear frame (110) may include a rear exposure groove (10) to expose the rear of the lens (130), and the front frame (120) may include a front exposure groove (20) to expose the front of the lens (130).

[0054] The rear frame (110) may include a metal dummy formed in the rear exposure groove (10) for mold fitting during injection. That is, when the rear frame (110) is injected, the metal dummy is included inside the rear exposure groove (10), and the rear frame (110) during injection may not expose the rear surface of the lens (300). The metal dummy refers to a residue of metal material or an unnecessary protrusion that occurs mainly during the mold manufacturing or maintenance process, or may occur during injection molding. The formed metal dummy can be removed later by CNC machining. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is a technology that produces parts with complex shapes by precisely controlling a machine through a computer program, and CNC machining is a precision machining technology controlled by a computer, which refers to a manufacturing process that processes various materials such as metal, plastic, and wood into a desired shape.

[0055] A lens (130) coupled to a rear frame (110) and a front frame (120) can be connected to a Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) (131). For example, the lens (130) can be connected to an FPCB (131) placed at the top. The FPCB (131) can be electrically connected at both ends to electronic components, etc., placed inside the temple frame (200), thereby allowing the lens (130) to display an image.

[0056] The temple frame (200) can be hinge-connected to the lens frame (100). The temple frame (200) can rotate relative to the lens frame (100). For example, the temple frame (200) can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the y-axis. The temple frame (200) can be made up of a pair.

[0057] The temple frame (200) may include an outer cover (210) and an inner cover (220) that form an exterior. More specifically, the outer cover (210) may form an outer exterior, and the inner cover (220) may be combined with the outer cover (210) to form an inner exterior. The inner cover (220) may include a contact portion that contacts the user's skin.

[0058] The outer cover (210) can form an internal space. By combining the inner cover (220) with the outer cover (210), the internal space can be formed as a sealed space. Alternatively, the outer cover (210) and the inner cover (220) may both form an internal space, or the inner cover (220) may form an internal space and the outer cover (210) may be combined with the inner cover (210) to form an internal space, thereby forming a sealed space.

[0059] Electronic components, etc., may be placed in the internal space. As shown in FIG. 3, a sensor unit (230), a bracket (240), a speaker module (250), a printed circuit board (PCB) (260), a battery (270), etc., may be placed in the internal space. The printed circuit board (260) may be a concept that includes not only the printed circuit board but also other hardware for driving the printed circuit board.

[0060] The sensor unit (230) may correspond to a touch sensor that senses a user's touch, a sensing sensor that detects the user's wearing, or both a touch sensor and a sensing sensor. The touch sensor may be attached to and positioned on the outer cover (210) inside the temple frame (200), and the sensing sensor may be attached to and positioned on the inner cover (220) inside the temple frame (200). That is, the touch sensor may be positioned furthest from the user's face, and the sensing sensor may be positioned closest to the user's face.

[0061] The speaker module (250) is a module that outputs sound and can be placed near the user's ear. That is, the speaker module (250) can be attached and placed on the inner side of the temple frame (200) to provide sound to the user, and can be placed particularly close to the user's ear.

[0062] The battery (270) can be placed at the rearmost side of the interior of the temple frame (200). That is, the battery (270) can be placed at the location furthest from the lens frame (100), and, for example, the battery (270) can be placed behind the user's ear when worn.

[0063] The hinge module (300) can be coupled to the lens frame (100) at one end and to the temple frame (200) at the other end so that the temple frame (200) can rotate relative to the lens frame (100). More specifically, the hinge module (300) can be formed as a pair, just like the temple frame (200) which is formed as a pair.

[0064] As described above, the lens (130) coupled to the lens frame (100) can be electrically connected to an electronic component placed inside the temple frame (200) by a Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) (131). In other words, the FPCB (131) can electrically connect the lens (130) and the electronic component placed inside the temple frame (200). Referring to FIG. 4, the FPCB (131) can be placed on one side of the hinge module (300), and the FPCB (131) can rotate together with the temple frame (200) when the temple frame (200) rotates by the hinge module (300).

[0065] As described through FIGS. 1 to 4, smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may include a lens frame (100) including a lens (130), a temple frame (200) connected to the lens frame (100), and a hinge module (300) connecting the temple frame (200) so as to be rotatable with respect to the lens frame (100).

[0066] As smart glasses (1000) are primarily used in external spaces as well as internal spaces, they may require waterproofing. And as illustrated in FIG. 5, the parts of the smart glasses (1000) that require waterproofing may include a front area (①) where the lens (130) and lens frame (100) are located, a hinge area (②) where the hinge module (300) is located, and a temple area (③) where the temple frame (200) containing electronic components inside is located.

[0067] Below, a waterproof structure for each region of the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments will be described in detail.

[0068] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a lens (130) of smart glasses (1000) according to embodiments. FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a cross-section of FIG. 6 viewed from the AA' direction.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the lens (130) of the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may have an upper frame (133) formed on its upper surface. That is, the upper frame (133) may be coupled to the upper surface of the lens (130).

[0070] Additionally, the lens (130) may include a display module (134) positioned on the upper side. The display module (134) is a module that generates an image provided to the user through the lens (130) and may correspond, for example, to a micro display module. The micro display module may correspond to a micro display composed of OLED, LCoS, Micro-LED, etc.

[0071] Additionally, the lens (130) may include a holder (135) to secure a display module (134) positioned on the upper frame (133). That is, the lower surface of the holder (135) may be coupled to the upper frame (135), and the upper surface may be coupled to the display module (134).

[0072] Generally, a space may be formed between the upper frame (133) coupled to the lens (130), the holder (135) coupled to the upper frame (133), and the display module (134) coupled to the upper part of the holder (135). In addition, moisture may penetrate through the formed space and cause problems caused by moisture in the lens (130), i.e., the optical module.

[0073] Accordingly, the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may form a waterproof member in the space formed between the upper frame (133) coupled to the lens (130), the holder (135) coupled to the upper frame (133), and the display module (134) coupled to the upper part of the holder (135).

[0074] That is, referring to FIG. 7, first, the lens (130) may include a sealing tape as a type of waterproof material in the space formed between the lens (130) and the upper frame (133). That is, the sealing tape, which is a type of waterproof material, can prevent the formation of a space where moisture can penetrate between the lens (130) and the upper frame (133).

[0075] Additionally, the lens (130) may include a sealing pad as a type of waterproof material in the space formed between the upper frame (133) and the holder (135). That is, the sealing pad, which is a type of waterproof material, can prevent the formation of a space through which moisture can penetrate by pressing between the upper frame (133) and the holder (135).

[0076] Additionally, the lens (130) may include a sealing bond as a type of waterproofing material in the space formed between the holder (135) and the display module (134). That is, the sealing bond, which is a type of waterproofing material, can prevent the formation of a space through which moisture can penetrate by joining the holder (135) and the display module (134) without any gaps.

[0077] Accordingly, the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments have the effect of preventing problems caused by moisture penetration by forming a waterproof structure in the front area (①) where the lens (130) and the lens frame (100) are located.

[0078] FIG. 8 is a drawing with the inner cover (220) removed from the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments. FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a cross-section of FIG. 8 viewed from the BB' direction.

[0079] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, as described in FIG. 4, the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may include a pair of hinge modules (300) that allow the temple frame (200) to rotate relative to the lens frame (100), and may form a waterproof structure in the area where the hinge modules (300) are formed. That is, the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments may form a waterproof structure in the area of ​​the temple frame (200) among the areas where the hinge modules (300) are formed.

[0080] The outer cover (210) of the temple frame (200) may be formed such that the lower surface (211) forms a step in the area where the hinge module (300) is placed. At this time, the lower surface (211) of the outer cover (210) may be formed such that the height decreases as it moves from the outer cover (210) side toward the inner cover (220) side. That is, the lower surface (211) may be formed in a downward step shape, for example, such that the step decreases as it moves from the outer cover (210) side toward the inner cover (220) side.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 8, the lower surface (211) forming the area where the hinge module (300) of the outer cover (210) is placed may include a first lower surface (2111), a second lower surface (2112), and a third lower surface (2113). FIG. 8 illustrates a case where the lower surface (211) is composed of three lower surfaces (2111, 2112, 2113), but the number of lower surfaces (211) formed therein will not be limited thereto.

[0082] The first lower surface (2111) is a lower surface formed closest to the outer cover (211) side, and may correspond to the lower surface that first encounters moisture that has penetrated into the lens frame (100) or temple frame (200) where the hinge module (300) is formed.

[0083] The second lower surface (2112) is formed to have a step difference with the first lower surface (2111) and may be formed at a position closer to the inner cover (220) than the first lower surface (2111). More specifically, the second lower surface (2112) may be formed at a lower height than the first lower surface (2111). That is, moisture that has moved to the first lower surface (2111) can naturally move from the first lower surface (2111) to the second lower surface (2112) due to gravity and the difference in height.

[0084] The third lower surface (2113) is formed to have a step difference with respect to the second lower surface (2112) and may be formed at a position closer to the inner cover (220) than the second lower surface (2112). More specifically, the third lower surface (2113) may be formed at a lower height than the second lower surface (2112). That is, moisture that has moved to the second lower surface (2112) can naturally move from the second lower surface (2112) to the third lower surface (2113) due to gravity and the difference in height.

[0085] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 9, if the lower surface (211) consists of a total of three lower surfaces, the third lower surface (2113) may correspond to the lower surface formed closest to the inner cover (220). That is, it may correspond to the lower surface that moisture penetrating into the lens frame (100) or temple frame (200) where the hinge module (300) is formed meets last, and may also correspond to the lower surface that forms the discharge passage.

[0086] The inner cover (220) can be combined with the outer cover (210) to form a gap with the lower surface (211) of the outer cover (210). More specifically, the inner cover (220) and the outer cover (210) can be combined so that the lower surface (211) of the outer cover (210), which forms the area where the hinge module (300) is placed, forms a gap with the lower surface (221) of the inner cover (220), which forms the area where the hinge module (300) is placed.

[0087] Referring to FIG. 9, the lower surface (221) of the inner cover (220) may be positioned to form a gap with the third lower surface (2113) of the lower surface (211) of the outer cover (210). That is, the discharge passage through which moisture that has penetrated into the lens frame (100) or temple frame (200) where the hinge module (300) is formed is discharged may refer to the gap formed by the lower surface (221) of the inner cover (220) and the third lower surface (2113) of the lower surface (211) of the outer cover (210).

[0088] Accordingly, the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments have the effect of preventing problems caused by moisture by forming a waterproof structure in the hinge area (②) where the hinge module (300) is located, so that even if moisture penetrates, it is discharged to the outside.

[0089] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing the inner cover (220) removed from the temple frame (200) of the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments. FIG. 11 is a drawing showing the outer cover (210) of the temple frame (200) of the smart glasses (1000) according to the embodiments. FIG. 12 is a drawing showing a cross-section of FIG. 10 viewed from the CC' direction.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 10, the temple frame (200) may include a first waterproof member (280) and a second waterproof member (290) formed in the internal space formed by the outer cover (210) to prevent moisture from entering from the outside. The first waterproof member (280) and the second waterproof member (290) may include a waterproof sealant. A waterproof sealant is a material applied to gaps or joints to prevent water, moisture, dust, air, etc. from penetrating, and may include, for example, a silicone sealant, an epoxy sealant, a butyl rubber sealant, etc.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 11, the outer cover (210) may include a protrusion (201) and a seating portion (202).

[0092] The protrusion (201) may be formed to protrude in the direction toward the inner cover (220) from the edge area of ​​the outer cover (210). That is, the protrusion (201) may be formed in a plate shape and may be positioned in a direction perpendicular to the outer cover (210). Alternatively, the protrusion (201) may be in a plate shape and positioned so that one side meets the edge forming the outer cover (210).

[0093] The first waterproof member (280) may meet the protrusion (201). More specifically, the first waterproof member (280) may be applied to the upper surface of the protrusion (201). That is, the first waterproof member (280) illustrated in FIG. 10 may correspond to a state where it is applied to the upper surface of the protrusion (201) formed on the outer cover (210).

[0094] The protrusion (201) may include a first protrusion (2011), a second protrusion (2012), and a third protrusion (2013).

[0095] The first protrusion (2011) is formed on the upper side of the edge area of ​​the outer cover (210) and may be formed extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer cover (210). The second protrusion (2012) is formed on the lower side of the edge area of ​​the outer cover (210) and may be formed extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer cover (210) in the same way as the first protrusion (2011).

[0096] Referring to FIG. 10, the first protrusion (2011) and the second protrusion (2012) can be connected at the rear. That is, the protrusion (201) can be formed in a 'C' shape with one end open so that the first protrusion (2011) and the second protrusion (2012) are connected at the rear but not at the front.
