Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The sealing effect between the lens barrels and the bottom plate of VR glasses is reduced, leading to a decrease in clarity due to dust and moisture ingress, which affects the user experience.
Innovation Solution
Incorporation of silicone-based sealing parts with bellows-type structures that deform to accommodate adjustable lens barrel spacing, along with mechanical mechanisms for precise alignment and sealing enhancement, including gears and sliding plates, to maintain a secure fit and prevent dust ingress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lens barrels are adjusted to different positions to accommodate varying interpupillary distances, then the adaptability to different users is improved, but the sealing effect between lens barrels and bottom plate deteriorates, allowing dust ingress
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs silicone sealing parts with bellows-type structures that can flexibly deform as the lens barrels move between different positions. This flexible membrane structure maintains sealing effectiveness while accommodating the range of motion required for interpupillary distance adjustment, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and sealing reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing structure is designed to be dynamic rather than static, with the bellows-type silicone parts capable of continuous deformation to match the moving lens barrels. This dynamic sealing mechanism ensures that the sealing effect is maintained across all adjustable positions, allowing the system to adapt while preserving reliability
2Ease of operation
If the lens barrels are continuously adjusted during use, then the ease of operation is improved, but the sealing structure is more prone to damage, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The silicone material's inherent flexibility and elasticity allow the sealing parts to withstand continuous adjustment operations without cracking or failing. The bellows-type structure is specifically designed to endure repeated deformation cycles while maintaining sealing integrity, thus supporting ease of operation without compromising reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing structure is designed with sufficient deformation space and flexibility beforehand to accommodate user adjustments without reaching critical stress points. This pre-engineered cushioning capacity allows continuous operation while preventing damage to the sealing structure

Implementation Method 1
the first sealing part and the second sealing part are provided with bellows-type structures along an opening direction of the light-transmitting holes, and in a state where a spacing between the first lens barrel and the second lens barrel changes, the first sealing part and the second sealing part are deformed through the bellows-type structures
