Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional eyeglasses designs require users to purchase separate exercise and ordinary eyeglasses, leading to economic burden and resource wastage, as they are optimized for different activities but share similar elements and functions.
Innovation Solution
An eyeglasses assembly structure with interchangeable temples and straps, featuring assembly slots, pivot holes, elastic elements, sliding grooves, and locating members, allowing users to pivotally connect and disconnect temples or straps for different usage scenarios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users purchase separate exercise eyeglasses and ordinary eyeglasses to cope with different occasions, then the functionality and comfort for each specific activity is improved, but the economic burden on users increases and resource waste occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The eyeglass frame is designed with a universal mounting structure that can accommodate both temple-style attachments and strap-style attachments. The assembly slots with pivot holes and elastic elements allow the same frame to function as both ordinary eyeglasses (with temples) and exercise eyeglasses (with straps), eliminating the need for users to purchase separate pairs for different activities.
2Reliability
If exercise eyeglasses are designed with strap mounting structure, then stability during strenuous exercise is improved, but comfort and aesthetics for sedentary activities deteriorates due to binding feeling
Solution Approach 1:
The eyeglass design allows dynamic reconfiguration of the attachment type based on activity requirements. Users can pivotally attach temples for comfortable sedentary wear or strap attachments for stable exercise performance. The elastic elements and pivot mechanism enable easy transformation between configurations, adapting the eyeglasses to different usage scenarios.
3Ease of operation
If ordinary eyeglasses are designed with temple attachment, then comfort and aesthetics for daily use is improved, but stability during strenuous exercise deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The frame incorporates universal assembly slots that can accommodate both temple attachments and strap attachments. This allows the same eyeglasses to provide comfortable daily wear with temples and stable exercise performance with straps, resolving the limitation of ordinary eyeglasses that are not suitable for strenuous activities.
4Adaptability or versatility
If separate exercise eyeglasses and ordinary eyeglasses are designed, then optimization for specific activities is improved, but resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a single frame with universal mounting capabilities, the invention eliminates the need to manufacture separate exercise and ordinary eyeglasses. The same frame can be produced once and then configured with different attachments (temples or straps) based on user needs, significantly improving resource efficiency and reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining activity-specific optimization.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to convert eyeglasses between exercise and ordinary modes without needing multiple pairs, reducing economic burden and optimizing resource use by allowing a single pair to serve both purposes.
Implementation Method 1
pivots being provided respectively on the upper end faces of the upper elastic elements and the bottom end faces of the lower elastic elements, so as to pivotally connected with the upper pivot holes and the lower pivot holes of the assembly slots on the frame
Implementation Method 2
upper elastic elements and lower elastic elements being separately formed at the front ends of the two joint members respectively
Implementation Method 3
two locating members respectively assembled in the sliding grooves of the two joint members, lengthwise guide slots being respectively formed at the centers of the locating members and the guiding rods of the joint members being positioned in the guide slots

AI summary
An eyeglasses assembly structure is provided, in which assembly slots for joint members are mainly formed on both sides of the eyeglasses frame, and the joint members are pivotally connected therein. Locating members are respectively interposed between upper and lower elastic elements for holding the pivotal connection status of the joint members and the assembly slots. When the joint members are to be detached from the assembly slots, the locating members are pushed into sliding grooves of the joint members, and the upper and the lower elastic elements are pressed to be deflected inward so as to allow the upper and the lower pivots detached from the pivotal connection with the assembly slots. Therefore, temples or strap can be assembled on the rear ends of the joint members and then the eyeglasses patterns can be conveniently transformed according to users' needs.
