Solution Overview

Problem

Existing head-mounted equipment technologies face challenges in providing a secure, easy-to-use, and adjustable connection between accessories and the equipment body, particularly in VR/AR applications, where users require flexible mounting and dismounting without tools and consistent audio-visual experience.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted equipment design featuring a detachable connecting assembly with a buckle structure and spring pressing mechanism, including an annular elastic piece, buckles, and a compression spring, which applies elastic force to ensure a firm connection while allowing for adjustable positioning and easy attachment/detachment of accessories.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a detachable connection structure is used for mounting accessories, then ease of operation is improved, but connection reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of mounting and dismountingVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting assembly employs a dynamic elastic piece that can deform elastically during attachment and detachment operations. The elastic piece bends when the accessory is being mounted or removed, then returns to its original shape to maintain a secure connection, providing both ease of operation and connection reliability through controlled dynamic deformation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The connection system is divided into separate components: a buckle structure on the accessory, a clamping groove structure on the equipment body, and an elastic piece connecting them. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component's function while maintaining overall system performance for both easy operation and reliable connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If a fixed connection structure is used, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidease of mounting and dismounting
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic piece serves itself by automatically generating the necessary clamping force through its elastic recovery. When the accessory is inserted into the clamping groove, the elastic piece deforms and then self-recover to apply continuous pressure, maintaining a reliable connection without requiring additional fastening operations or tools

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If a detachable connection structure is used, then adaptability is improved, but connection stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of accessory mountingVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic piece changes its physical state (shape and position) in response to different mounting conditions. It can deform to accommodate various accessory sizes and positions, then stabilize to provide consistent connection stability. The elastic properties allow the connection parameters to adapt dynamically while maintaining stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide a head-mounted equipment. The head-mounted equipment includes an equipment body, an accessory and a connecting assembly implementing detachable connection between the accessory and the equipment body, where the connecting assembly is arranged on the accessory; the connecting assembly includes a buckle structure and a spring pressing structure. A clamping groove structure adapted to the buckle structure is provided on the equipment body. When the buckle structure is clamped into the clamping groove structure, the spring pressing structure contacts with the equipment body and applies an elastic force in a first direction to the equipment body. Under the action of the elastic force in the first direction, the buckle structure applies pressure in a second direction to the clamping groove structure; and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
