Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional goggles have a fixed belt structure, limiting users to a single appearance and requiring multiple purchases for different designs.
Innovation Solution
A goggle device with a detachable belt system featuring buckling structures on the spectacle frame, allowing the belt to be easily swapped by rotating a cantilever between lock and unlock positions, enabling various appearances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the belt is inseparably fixed to the spectacle frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The belt system is divided into separable components: the spectacle frame with buckling structures and the detachable belt with inserting members. This segmentation allows the belt to be removed and replaced while keeping the frame intact, providing appearance variety without compromising the structural stability of the frame itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The cantilever mechanism provides dynamic locking and unlocking capability. The cantilever can be rotated between a locked position (securing the belt) and an unlocked position (releasing the belt), enabling the system to transition between stable fixation and easy replacement states.
2Ease of manufacture
If the belt is inseparably fixed to the spectacle frame, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the belt from the frame through detachable connecting structures, the manufacturing process remains relatively simple for each component independently, while enabling easy belt replacement by the user without requiring complex assembly or special tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The buckling structure with cantilever is designed to be operated by the user themselves. The inserting members can be manually inserted into and removed from the buckling structures by simply pressing the cantilever, allowing users to change belts without assistance or complex procedures.
3Ease of operation
If the cantilever is added to the buckling structure, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cantilever is designed as a simple rotating element that transitions between two stable positions (locked and unlocked). This dynamic mechanism provides intuitive operation - users simply press the cantilever to rotate it and release the locking state, enabling easy belt replacement without complex controls or multiple components.
Solution Approach 2:
The complexity is localized to the buckling structures at the ends of the spectacle frame, while the rest of the frame and belt remain simple. The cantilever and retaining walls are concentrated only where needed for the locking mechanism, minimizing overall device complexity while providing the required ease of operation.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a goggle device and a spectacle frame thereof. The spectacle frame includes a buckling structure arranged on an end portion thereof. The buckling structure has an accommodating space and an entrance in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The buckling structure includes a cantilever arranged in the accommodating space and a retaining wall that is arranged in the accommodating space and is spaced apart from the cantilever. A free end portion of the cantilever is arranged adjacent to the entrance, and the cantilever is rotatable between a lock position and an unlock position. When the cantilever is at the lock position, the free end portion shields the entrance. When the cantilever is rotated to the unlock position by an external force, the free end portion does not shield the entrance, and the cantilever is deformed to store an elastic force.
