The present invention provides a head mounted display device, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 1-9, comprising a main body 1, a control assembly (not shown), and a head mounted assembly 2 coupled to the main body 1.
The main body 1 includes a screen and a detection sensor. One side of the body 1 is fitted to the face of the user, facing the head set 2. The detection sensor is used to detect external information of the main body 1. Taking the example of the detection sensor as the distance sensor 15 shown in fig. 6, the detection direction of the distance sensor 15 faces the head set 2 for detecting the distance between the main body 1 and the external object. Based on the detected information, the distance sensor 15 emits a first signal. The distance sensor 15 is electrically connected to a control assembly, which receives the first signal.
The control component can be a control main board in the head-mounted display equipment in the prior art, and the like, and can process electronic signals and send control instructions; in various embodiments, the core processor may also be a host computer connected to the head-mounted display device, which is not limited in this disclosure, and may be capable of processing signaling instructions.
The headgear assembly 2 includes a main strap 3 and a wear portion 4. The main band 3 connects the main body 1 and the wearing part 4. The front surface of the wearing part 4 faces the main body 1 when the head-mounted display device is in use, and the wearing part 4 is positioned on the back surface of the head of the user when the head-mounted display device is worn, and the wearing part is clamped with the main body 1 to fix the head-mounted display device on the head of the user.
The head end of the main belt 3 is rotatably connected with the main body 1. The end of the main belt 3 is connected to the wearing part 4. Referring to fig. 1, the main band 3 is rotatable to a wearing position relatively away from the main body 1; referring to fig. 3, it can also be rotated to a storage position close to the main body 1. By rotating the main belt 3 to the wearing position and the storage position, the wearing part 4 can be away from and close to the main body 1, so that the head-mounted display device has different spatial volume forms. When the head-mounted display device is used, the main belt 3 rotates to the wearing position, so that the wearing part 4 is far away from the main body, and the head-mounted display device can be worn by a user; when not in use, the main belt 1 rotates to the storage position, so that the wearing part 4 is close to the main body 1, the space volume of the head-mounted display device is reduced, and the head-mounted display device is convenient to store and carry.
A boss 31 is provided at a position where the main belt 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and a photoelectric switch 12 is provided at a position where the main body 1 is rotatably connected to the main belt 3. In some other embodiments, the protruding portion may be disposed on the main body 1, and the photoelectric switch is disposed on the main belt 3, which is not limited by the present disclosure.
When the main band 3 is in the wearing position, the protrusion 31 triggers the photoelectric switch 12, so that the photoelectric switch 12 emits a second signal, and as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the second signal refers to the signal emitted when the photoelectric switch 12 is triggered, and not all the signals emitted by the photoelectric switch 12 are the second signal. The photoelectric switch 12 is electrically connected with a control component, and the control component receives the second signal.
The control assembly is also electrically connected to the screen. And when the first signal received by the control component reaches the wake-up condition of the screen, the second signal is also received, and the screen is waken up. When the first signal cannot reach the wake-up condition of the screen or/and the second signal is not received, the screen is extinguished. Taking the detection sensor as the distance sensor 15 as an example, the wake-up condition of the first signal may include that a distance between the main body 1 and an external object outside the main body 1 is smaller than a preset threshold value.
The method and the device can automatically control the screen to be awakened and light when the user wears the head-mounted display device, and manual control is not needed.
The head-mounted display device of the present disclosure is connected with the main body 1 through the rotation of the main belt 3, and can control the volume of the head-mounted display device, and is opened when in use, and is convenient to store and carry by rotating to reduce the volume when not in use.
The head-mounted display device can prevent the screen from being awakened to waste electric energy due to the fact that the first signal reaches the awakening condition of the screen when the head-mounted display device is stored or the main belt 3 rotates to the storage position. Only when the main belt 3 rotates to the wearing position, the protruding portion 31 can limit the main belt 3 to rotate and trigger the photoelectric switch 12 to send a second signal, so that a user may use the head-mounted display device or use the head-mounted display device, the first signal reaches the awakening condition of the screen, and the awakening probability of the screen caused by misoperation is reduced. The working time of the screen can be reduced, unnecessary power consumption is reduced, and the service life of the head-mounted display device is prolonged. When not in use, the screen can be prevented from being awakened by rotating the main belt 3 to leave the wearing position, and the screen is rotated to the storage position to be convenient to store and carry.
In some embodiments, when the main band 3 is in the wearing position, the protruding portion 31 is blocked, so that the main band 3 cannot continue to rotate away from the storage position, for example, the storage position is located in a clockwise direction of the wearing position, and then the protruding portion 31 is blocked when the main band 3 rotates counterclockwise to the wearing position, limiting the main band 3 to continue rotating, and when the head-mounted display device is worn, the protruding portion 31 ensures the stability of the main band 3 that can rotate when worn.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 5, the optoelectronic switch 12 includes a transmitter 121 and a receiver 122. An optical axis 123 is connected between the transmitter 121 and the receiver 122.
