Solution Overview

Problem

Current Bluetooth glasses are limited to plastic temples, restricting style options and affecting popularity and competitiveness, as they cannot be easily assembled with temples made of different materials or adjusted for sound output.

Innovation Solution

A pair of Bluetooth glasses featuring a glasses body, Bluetooth earphone, and connection member with adjustable sound output, allowing for assembly with various materials like metal and plastic, and an adjustment knob to switch sound output between front and rear broadcast holes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the circuit module is set in a mold before plastic injection of the temple, then the Bluetooth glasses can be mass-produced efficiently, but the glasses can only be used with plastic temples and cannot be applied to metal temples

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemass production efficiencyVSAvoidtemple material compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the Bluetooth glasses into separable components: a Bluetooth earphone unit and a temple, connected through a connection member with assembly portions. This segmentation allows the Bluetooth earphone to be detached and reattached to different temple types (metal, plastic, etc.), enabling versatility while maintaining efficient mass production of individual components through standardization of the connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the Bluetooth earphone is integrated into the temple through mold injection, then the structure is stable and durable, but the style options are monotonous and users have limited choices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstyle options
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs adjustable components including an adjustment knob that can rotate to different positions and broadcast holes that can be adjusted to different orientations. This dynamic adjustability allows users to change sound output directions and positions, providing variety and adaptability in usage scenarios while maintaining structural stability through the connection member design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If the Bluetooth earphone has fixed sound output positions, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but users cannot adjust sound output positions according to their needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidsound output adjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention incorporates adjustable broadcast holes and an adjustment knob that enables users to change sound output positions and directions according to their needs. The adjustment mechanism maintains manufacturing simplicity through standardized components and assembly processes, while providing operational flexibility for different usage scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Productivity

If the Bluetooth glasses use a fixed assembly structure, then the production process is simple and fast, but the Bluetooth earphone cannot be adjusted to different positions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction speedVSAvoidadjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the assembly into modular components with standardized connection interfaces (assembly portions on the temple and earphone body). This segmentation enables rapid assembly and disassembly while maintaining production efficiency, and allows the Bluetooth earphone to be adjusted to different positions or detached completely, providing operational flexibility without compromising production speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A pair of Bluetooth glasses is revealed. The Bluetooth glasses includes a glasses body with a first assembly portion disposed on a rear end of a temple thereof, a Bluetooth earphone having a second assembly portion arranged at a front end of an earphone body thereof, and a connection member. The second assembly portion is mounted into one end of a sleeve of the connection member while the first assembly portion on the temple is mounted into the other end of the sleeve. Thereby the temple is assembled with the Bluetooth earphone conveniently and various combinations of materials such as metals and plastic are used to increase Bluetooth glasses styles. Moreover, an adjustment knob is mounted to the earphone body of the Bluetooth earphone for switching between a front broadcast hole and a rear broadcast hole through which sounds from a speaker are output.
