Smart Glasses Hinge Structure Integrating Reset and Damping Mechanisms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly of hinge structures in smart glasses is inconvenient due to the scattered installation of elastic strips and damping pieces at different positions, making it challenging to integrate these components effectively.
Innovation Solution
A hinge structure design where the reset assembly and damping elastic piece are uniformly provided on the hinged shaft, allowing for direct installation and facilitating assembly, with adjustable damping force and reset mechanisms to enhance the folding and wearing reliability of smart glasses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If elastic strip and damping piece are installed at different positions of the hinge structure, then the reset force and damping force can be provided separately, but the assembly process becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the elastic strip and damping piece into a single integrated component mounted on the hinged shaft. This merging of previously separate components simplifies the assembly process while maintaining the dual functions of providing reset force and damping force for the temple assembly
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple components are scattered at different positions on the hinge structure, then each component can perform its specific function, but the number of assembly steps and positioning operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functional components (elastic strip and damping piece) into a single assembled unit that is mounted on the hinged shaft. This reduces the number of separate assembly steps and positioning operations required while preserving all necessary functional capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated component assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously - providing both reset force through the elastic strip and damping force through the damping piece - thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining versatile functionality

Function Achieved in This Case
This design simplifies the assembly process, improves the wearing reliability of smart glasses by providing consistent reset and damping forces, and enhances user comfort by adapting to different head shapes.
Implementation Method 1
a reset elastic piece for axially pressing the movable block against the fixed block; and after the hinge frame at one end of the hinge shaft swings to the pre-set angle toward the pre-set outward flipping direction, the movable block, by fitting engagement with a slope between the movable block and the fixed blocks, enables a corresponding hinge frame to have a motion tendency opposite to the pre-set outward flipping direction
Implementation Method 2
the hinged shaft is provided with a damping elastic piece, and the damping elastic piece presses against at least one hinge frame so as to provide a damping force thereto when the corresponding hinge frame swings

AI summary
A hinge structure of smart glasses is provided, comprising several hinge frames provided along a pre-set direction, adjacent hinge frames are hinged by a hinged shaft; the hinged shaft is provided with a reset assembly, and after the hinge frame at one end swings to a pre-set angle toward a pre-set outward flipping direction relative to the hinge frame at the other end, the reset assembly provides a reset force to the hinge frame, so that the corresponding hinge frame has a motion tendency opposite to the pre-set outward flipping direction; the hinged shaft is provided with a damping elastic piece, and the damping elastic piece presses against at least one hinge frame so as to provide a damping force thereto when the corresponding hinge frame swings.
