Solution Overview

Problem

Existing goggles require complex tools or effort for replacing the breathable sponge, making the process inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A goggles structure with a detachable fixing strip and connection components, including magnets or snap blocks, allows for easy attachment and detachment of the breathable sponge, facilitated by breathable holes and ejection mechanisms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the breathable sponge is directly attached or embedded in the frame, then the attachment is stable, but the replacement requires tools or significant effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment stabilityVSAvoidreplacement convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing strip is divided into separate modular components: a first fixing strip portion with first connection components and a second fixing strip portion with second connection components. This segmentation allows the breathable sponge and fixing strip to be easily detached and replaced as independent units while maintaining stable attachment when assembled, resolving the contradiction between attachment reliability and replacement convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the breathable sponge is frequently replaced, then the breathability and anti-fog performance are maintained, but the replacement process is inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreathability performanceVSAvoidreplacement time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connection components are pre-configured with matching structures (first connection components on the fixing strip and corresponding second connection components on the frame) that enable quick engagement and disengagement. This preliminary design of complementary connection interfaces allows users to rapidly replace the breathable sponge without requiring tools or significant time, while ensuring reliable attachment during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the fixing strip is detachably connected, then the replacement is easy, but the attachment stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereplacement easeVSAvoidattachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection components utilize magnetic connection structures instead of traditional mechanical fastening systems. The magnetic connection provides stable attachment force during normal use while allowing easy separation when needed, achieving both replacement ease and attachment stability through non-mechanical magnetic fields rather than screws or clips that would compromise either ease of replacement or attachment strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

This application relates to the field of goggles, particularly to a goggles structure for easy replacement of breathable sponge, including a goggles body, a fixing strip that is detachably connected to the upper side of the goggles body, and a connection component set between the goggles body and the fixing strip to fix the position of the fixing strip on the goggles body. One side of the goggles body forms a protective space for enclosing the user's eyes, and a placement space for placing breathable sponges is formed between the fixing strip and the goggles body. The upper side of the goggles body is provided with a first breathable hole that connects the protective space and the placement space, and the fixing strip is provided with a second breathable hole that connects the placement space and the outside. This application has the effect of improving the convenience of replacing goggles.
