Description

Eye patch and head-mounted electronic device with same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an eye mask, and more particularly, to a detachable eye mask for a head-mounted electronic device.

Background

A head-mounted electronic apparatus is a near-eye display device that generates and projects an image to the eyes of a user, so that the user sees an enlarged virtual image, thereby obtaining a display effect of a larger area. Head-mounted electronic devices are generally classified into transmissive and immersive types. The transmissive head-mounted electronic device enables a user to view a displayed picture on an actual scene in an overlapping manner, and the user wearing the immersive head-mounted electronic device only sees the displayed picture. In order to present a better display effect, a ring of foam is usually fixed on a hard panel on the side of the wearable immersive electronic device close to the user. After the user wears the disposable glasses, the ring of foam is attached to the face and surrounds the eyes to shield external light which may enter the eyes. However, the sponge of the existing product on the market can not be detached, which is not beneficial to later maintenance and replacement. In addition, because the sponge is directly fixed on the hard panel at the side of the head-mounted electronic device close to the user, the deformable range of the sponge is small.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above, the present invention is directed to a head-mounted electronic device and a detachable eye cover thereof, which are beneficial for post-maintenance and replacement of light-shielding cotton.

The invention provides an eye patch, which comprises a connecting piece, a connecting piece and a connecting piece, wherein the connecting piece is used for being connected with an external device; a first sponge connected to the connector; a support connected to the first sponge; and a second sponge connected to the support.

The invention also provides an eye patch, which comprises a connecting piece, a connecting piece and a connecting piece, wherein the connecting piece comprises an attaching piece and a connecting part arranged on the attaching piece, the attaching piece is in a non-closed ring shape with a first gap, and the connecting part is used for being connected with an external device; the first sponge is in a non-closed ring shape and is attached to the attaching sheet, and a second notch is arranged at the position corresponding to the first notch; the supporting piece comprises a body attached to the first sponge and a coating part extending out of the first sponge from the left side and the right side of the body, the body is in a non-closed ring shape, a third notch is formed in the position corresponding to the second notch, and the coating part extends in the direction far away from the connecting piece; and the second sponge is in a non-closed ring shape and is attached to the outer edge of the supporting piece, and a fourth notch is formed in the position corresponding to the third notch.

The invention also provides a head-wearing electronic device, which comprises a head-wearing earphone, two sounding parts and an elastic band connected with the sounding parts; the display comprises a main body part and an adapter part, wherein the main body part is used for generating and projecting pictures outwards, and the adapter part extends from two opposite sides of the main body part and is rotatably connected to the two sound-emitting parts; and an eye mask detachably attached to the main body portion.

Under the structure of the eye mask, the second sponge is in contact with the face of the user and surrounds the periphery of the eyes of the user, so that the effect of shielding external light is achieved. Meanwhile, the supporting piece is connected to the connecting piece through the first sponge, so that the supporting piece can displace and deflect relative to the connecting piece through the deformation of the first sponge. Therefore, when the user wears the eye patch, the structure of the eye patch can meet the shading effect, and meanwhile, a larger space for adjusting the display can be reserved for the user, so that the eye patch can adapt to more users. And above-mentioned head-mounted electronic device has made things convenient for later maintenance and change because the eye-shade can be dismantled.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to a plurality of embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a head-mounted electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. The head-mounted electronic device 10 may be a head-mounted video player, a head-mounted gaming device, or a head-mounted navigation device, etc. The head mounted electronic device 10 includes a headset 20, a display 30, and an eye shield 40.

The headphone 20 includes two sound-emitting portions 22 and an elastic band 24 connecting the two sound-emitting portions 22, and the structure thereof is not much different from that of the conventional headphone, and will not be described herein. The display 30 is a near-to-eye display device, and includes a main body portion 32 for generating and projecting an image outwards, and an adapter portion 34 extending from two opposite sides of the main body portion 32, wherein the adapter portion 34 is rotatably connected to the two sounding portions 22, and the display principle of the main body portion 32 is well known to those skilled in the art and is not described herein. The rotatable connection structure of the adapter part 34 and the sound-emitting part 22 can be that the adapter part 34 can be provided with a ring 35, and the ring 35 is sleeved on the cylindrical side wall 25 of the sound-emitting part 22, so as to realize rotatable connection. The eye mask 40 is detachably connected to the main body portion 32.

When the headset is in use, the display 30 can rotate to a position approximately 90 degrees away from the headset 20, and when the user wears the headset 20 on the head, the display 30 is positioned in front of the eyes to project images to the eyes; in the non-use state, the display 30 can be rotated to a position where the headphones 20 substantially overlap for storage. Since the eyecup 40 is detachable from the main body portion 32, it is advantageous for later maintenance and replacement.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the eye mask 40 includes a connecting member 42, a first sponge 44, a supporting member 46 and a second sponge 48. The connector 42 is adapted to be removably connected to the body portion 32, the first sponge 44 is connected to the connector 42, the support member 46 is connected to the first sponge 44, and the second sponge is connected to the support member 46. In the present embodiment, the connection member 42 may be elastically deformed, and may be deformed and then restored to an initial state during the connection to the main body portion 32, so as to be engaged with the main body portion 32, or may be fixed to each other by other means such as a magnetic force. In the present embodiment, the four components of the eye patch 40 are bonded and connected by an adhesive. For example, the first sponge 44 is attached with double-sided adhesive tape on opposite sides thereof so as to be attached to the connecting member 42 and the supporting member 46, and the second sponge 48 is also attached to the supporting member 46 by the double-sided adhesive tape. Of course, the manner of attachment is not limited to gluing.

In the eye mask 40 constructed as described above, the second sponge 48 attached to the support 46 is in contact with the user's face and surrounds the user's eyes, thereby having an effect of shielding external light. Meanwhile, since the supporting member 46 is connected to the connecting member 42 through the first sponge 44, the supporting member 46 can be displaced and deflected relative to the connecting member 42 by the deformation of the first sponge 44. In this way, the above-mentioned structure of the eye mask 40 can provide a large space for the user to adjust the display 30 while satisfying the light-shielding effect during the wearing process, thereby being capable of accommodating more users.

Specifically, the connecting member 42 includes an attaching piece 42a and a connecting portion 42b disposed on the attaching piece 42a, the attaching piece 42a is in a non-closed ring shape having a first notch 42c, and the connecting portion 42b is used for connecting with the main body portion 32. In the present embodiment, the connecting member 42 includes three connecting portions 42b extending outward from the upper and lower sides of the attachment piece 42a, that is: the upper side of the attachment piece 42a extends out to form a connecting portion 42b (i.e., an upper connecting piece), and the lower side of the attachment piece 42a extends out to form two connecting portions 42b (i.e., lower connecting pieces) on two sides of the first notch 42 c. The first sponge 44 is in a non-closed loop shape and is attached to the attachment sheet 42a, and a second gap 44a is disposed at a position corresponding to the first gap 42 c. In this embodiment, the first and

second notches

42c and 44a are configured to allow a space for accommodating the nose of the user, but it should be understood that in other embodiments, the engaging piece and the corresponding first sponge may be in the shape of a closed ring.

The supporting member 46 includes a main body 46a attached to the first sponge 44 and a covering portion 46b extending from the left and right sides of the main body 46a to the outside of the first sponge 44, the main body 46a is in a non-closed loop shape and has a third notch 46c corresponding to the second notch 44a, and the covering portion 46b extends in a direction away from the connecting member 42. The second sponge 48 is in the shape of a non-closed loop and is attached to the outer edge of the supporting member 46, and a fourth notch 48a is formed at a position corresponding to the third notch 46 c. The covering portion 46b is provided to cover both sides of the eyes of the user, thereby achieving a better light shielding effect. In addition, since the covering portion 46b extends to the outside of the first sponge 44, it is easily elastically deformed, thereby being applicable to users with different face widths. Similarly, the supporting member and the second sponge may be closed loop.

Preferably, the length of the fourth notch 48a (shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, with the other notches also referring to the length in this direction) is less than the length of the third notch 46 c. The second sponge 48 can be deformed toward the supporting member 46 by extending from both sides of the third notch 46c, and the arrangement is comfortable for the user to wear without feeling the pressure of the hard supporting member 46. More preferably, the length of the second gap 44a is less than the length of the third gap 46c, so that the user can contact the first sponge 44 when the user's nose passes through the fourth and

third gaps

48a and 46c, thereby achieving the same effect as described above. Still more preferably, the length of the second gap 44a is slightly less than the length of the fourth gap 48a to accommodate the shape of the user's nose. It is further preferred that the length of the second notch 44a is less than the length of the first notch 42c to achieve the same effect as described above.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, preferably, a first positioning structure is disposed between the connecting member 42 and the first sponge 44. Optionally, a second positioning structure is further disposed between the support 46 and the first sponge 44. Specifically, the first positioning structure includes a first protrusion 42d extending outward from a surface of the attachment piece 42a facing the first sponge 44, and a first concave hole 44b recessed inward from a surface of the first sponge 44 facing the connection piece 42. The first protrusion 42d is inserted into the first recess 44b to achieve the positioning effect. Of course, the above-described arrangement of the concavities and convexities may be reversed. More specifically, the first positioning structure includes three first protruding pillars 42d, two of which are located at two sides of the first gap 42c, and one of which is located above the first gap 42c, and the first concave hole 44b is correspondingly disposed. Similarly, the second positioning structure includes a second protrusion 46d disposed on the body 46a and a second recess 44c disposed on the first sponge 44.

Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 5, the main body 32 includes an inner wall 32a facing the user, an outer wall 32b opposite to the inner wall 32a, and an upper sidewall 32c and a lower sidewall 32d connecting the inner wall 32a and the outer wall 32b, and the connecting member 42 is fastened to the upper sidewall 32c and the lower sidewall 32 d. The specific fastening method may be the first method as follows: the distance between the upper side wall 32c and the lower side wall 32d on the side close to the inner wall 32a is larger than the distance at a position spaced apart from the inner wall 32a (e.g., the middle of the upper side wall 32 c), that is, the distance between the upper side wall 32c and the lower side wall 32d on the right side in fig. 5 is larger than the distance at the middle, so that there is an inclination angle; while the connecting portion 42b (i.e., the upper connecting piece) and the two connecting portions 42b (i.e., the lower connecting pieces) also have the same inclination angle. Thus, the connection portion 42b is engaged with the upper and

lower side walls

32c and 32d by the inclination angle.

Preferably, a snap structure that fixes the eyecup 40 to the main body portion 32 is provided between the upper side wall 32c or the lower side wall 32d and the connecting portion 42 b. As shown in fig. 6, the connecting portion 42b (i.e., the upper connecting piece) and the two connecting portions 42b (i.e., the lower connecting pieces) are provided with concave points 42e, and the upper sidewall 32c and the lower sidewall 32d are provided with convex points 32 e. The convex point 32e is accommodated in the concave point 42e to form the buckling structure. Of course, the above-described uneven pattern may be reversed, and it is not necessary to provide the bumps 32e on both the upper wall 32c and the lower wall 32 d. In addition, the snap structure may be provided separately to fix the eyecup 40 to the main body portion 32.

Preferably, a guide structure for guiding the eye mask 40 to slide in a preset direction is provided between the upper side wall 32c or the lower side wall 32d and the connecting portion 42 b. As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the connecting portion 42b (i.e., the upper connecting piece) has protruding strips 42f on both sides thereof, the upper sidewall 32c has recessed strips 32f thereon, and the protruding strips 42f slide along the set direction of the recessed strips 32f, so as to form the above-mentioned guiding structure.

Preferably, the first sponge 44 is made of an inert resilient sponge. Because the inertia elastic sponge has the characteristic that the original shape is not easy to recover after being pressed, the inertia elastic sponge is not easy to generate restoring force after being deformed, and the pressure to users can be reduced.
