Description

Wearable electronic device

Technical field

The present invention relates to wearable electronic devices, and more particularly to a wearable electronic device having a relatively rotatable connection mechanism.

Background technique

Currently, wearable electronic devices are becoming more and more popular due to their good visual experience. Wearable electronic devices typically include a video portion and an audio portion. In order to achieve better audio effects, some wearable electronic devices use headphones. At this point, the video portion is rotatably connected to the headset. When not in use, the video portion is rotated to a position that is substantially superimposed with the headset for ease of storage; when in use, the video portion is rotated to a position that is approximately 90 degrees from the headset. Thus, after wearing, the video portion is located in front of the human eye.

In the process of wearing the above-mentioned wearable electronic device, the first wearable earphone is required to be worn on the head. However, when the headset is opened, the video portion is also opened, and the restoring force of the deformed video portion increases the force required to open the earphone, which is not conducive to the user's operation. At the same time, after repeated use, the video part is also easily damaged, reducing the service life of the product.

detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to a plurality of embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It must be pointed out that the "connection" between the two elements mentioned in the present invention does not necessarily mean a direct connection or an indirect connection by a third element.

1 is a schematic diagram of a wearable electronic device 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The wearable electronic device 10 can be a wearable video player, a wearable game device, a wearable navigation device, or the like. The wearable electronic device 10 includes a headset 20, a display portion 30, and two connection structures 40 that connect the headset 20 to the display portion 30.

The headset 20 includes two sounders 22, an elastic band 24 connecting the two sounders 22, and two first connectors 26 extending outwardly from a corresponding one of the generators 22. The elastic band 24 is generally C-shaped, and the two sounders 22 are fixedly coupled to both sides of the C-shaped opening of the elastic band 24. The two sounders 22 can be held on the ears by the elastic force of the elastic band 24. Except for the first connector 26, the structure of the headset 20 is not much different from that of the existing headset, and the description is not described herein. The display portion 30 is substantially C-shaped, and the intermediate portion thereof is provided with a display and optical module (not shown) for near-eye display, and further includes two second connecting members 32 on opposite sides of the intermediate portion. Each of the second connectors 32 is rotatably coupled to the two first connectors 26 by a coupling mechanism 40. As shown in FIG. 1 , after the user wears the wearable electronic device 10 , the display unit 30 is located in front of the eyes. As such, the user can see the screen projected by the display unit 30 to the eye while simultaneously listening to the audio through the headset 20.

2 to 4, the coupling mechanism 40 includes a shaft member 42, a rotating member 44, and a pressing member 46. The rotating shaft member 42 is disposed on a side of the first connecting member 26 which is substantially in the shape of a square piece away from the sound generator 22, and extends along the short side direction of the first connecting member 26. In the present invention, the short side direction is referred to as a first direction. The shaft member 42 has a convex first cylindrical surface 42a. The first cylindrical surface 42a has a substantially semi-circular cross section in a plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction. In the present embodiment, the first cylindrical surface 42a is substantially facing the inner side of the first connecting member 26, that is, the side of the first connecting member 26 facing the other connecting member.

The rotating member 44 is disposed on a side of the second connecting member 32 adjacent to the sound generator 22, and also extends in the first direction. The rotating member 44 has a concave second cylindrical surface 44a and a convex third cylindrical surface 44b. Similarly, the second cylindrical surface 44a and the third cylindrical surface 44b are substantially semi-circular in a cross section substantially perpendicular to the first direction. In the present embodiment, the second cylindrical surface 44a and the third cylindrical surface 44b have substantially the same center in the above cross section, and the side of the two cylindrical surfaces adjacent to the inner surface of the second connecting member 32 is substantially perpendicular to the second connection. The inner side of the member 32 extends away from the other end of the inner surface of the second connecting member 32 in the direction in which the first connecting member 26 is located. Thus, the concave second cylindrical surface 44a forms a first receiving space 44c.

The pressing member 46 is fixed to the first connecting member 26 and has a fourth cylindrical surface 46a facing the inner surface of the first connecting member 26. In the present embodiment, the fourth cylindrical surface 46a is substantially semi-circular in a cross section substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Thus, the concave fourth cylindrical surface 46a forms a second receiving space 46b. At the time of assembly, the shaft member 42 is attached to the first accommodating space 44c of the rotor 44, and at this time, the first and second cylinder faces 42a and 44a are bonded to each other by being substantially curved. Then, the pressing member 46 is fixed to the first connecting member 26, and the rotating member 44 is mounted into the second receiving space 46b of the pressing member 46. Similarly, the third and fourth

cylindrical faces

44b and 46a are also attached to each other. Hehe.

5, since the second cylindrical surface 44a of the rotating member 44 abuts against the first cylindrical surface 42a of the rotating shaft member 42, the third cylindrical surface 44b of the rotating member 44 is abutted by the fourth cylindrical surface 46a of the pressing member 46. Therefore, the rotating member 44 is now clamped between the rotating shaft member 42 and the pressing member 46 and cannot be disengaged. Thus, since the first to fourth cylinder faces 42a, 44a, 44b, 46a are all curved, the second link member 32 can be easily rotated about the axis of the shaft member 42.

When the user wears or removes the wearable electronic device 10, the first connector 26 also opens as it pulls the two sounders 22. At this time, the rotating shaft member 42 and the pressing member 46 rotate the relative rotating member 44, so that the side of the first connecting member 26 near the sound generator 22 is deflected outward, and the second connecting member 32 is not driven by the sounder 22. Deformation occurs outside. Therefore, the fact that the video portion is not deformed produces a restoring force that increases the force required to develop the sounder 22, thereby facilitating the user's operation. At the same time, it also increases the service life of the product.

Preferably, the rotating member 44 extends near one end of the earphone 22 (i.e., the end away from the inner surface of the second connecting member 32) to a side of the end 32a of the second connecting member 32 near the earphone 22. Correspondingly, the shaft member 42 protrudes from the inner surface of the first connecting member 26 toward the other connecting member, and the side away from the earphone 22 is closer to the second connection than the side of the first connecting member 26 away from the earphone 22 Item 32. As such, while facilitating the rotation of the first link member 26 relative to the second link member 32, the feature also causes the width of the gap between the first connector member 26 and the outer side of the second connector member 32 to be small.

Preferably, the pressing member 46 further includes a recessed portion 46c formed in the fourth cylindrical surface 46a, and the rotating member 44 further includes a protruding portion 44d extending from the third cylindrical surface 44b in a direction away from the second cylindrical surface 44a. The protruding portion 44d is received in the recessed portion 46c and can be moved away from and adjacent to both sides of the sounder 22 by the recessed portion 46c during the rotation of the first connecting member 26 relative to the second connecting member 32. As such, the mutual abutment of the projections 44d and the opposite sides of the recessed portion 46c provides an amplitude limitation of the mutual rotation between the first link member 26 and the second link member 32. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portion 44d resists The recessed portion 44d is adjacent to one side of the sounder 22, thereby restricting the first connecting member 26 from continuing to rotate to the left around the rotating shaft member 42 in the upper portion of the figure, and is only rotatable to the right. More preferably, the pressing member 46 is in the form of a sheet, and the recessed portion 46c is a through hole penetrating through the pressing member 46, thereby facilitating space saving.

Preferably, the coupling mechanism 40 further includes an elastic member 48. One end of the elastic member 48 is fixed to the first connecting member 26, and the other end is fixed to the second connecting member 32. When the protruding portion 44d abuts against the side of the second connecting member 32, the elastic member 48 is deformed and has an elastic force for sliding the protruding portion 44d toward the side of the concave portion 46c away from the second connecting member 32. The above described case may correspond to the case where the protruding portion 44d is restrained by the concave portion 46c near the second connecting member 32 when the earphone 22 is pulled to the outermost side, and the elastic force of the elastic member 48 assists the earphone 22 to be reset. The elastic member 48 may be in the shape of a sheet to facilitate deformation, and one end thereof may cover a part of the rotating member 46 and be fixed to the first connecting member 26 by screwing, and the other end may abut against the second connecting member 32. Item 49. Of course, the resisting member 49 may also be an element that is assembled to the display portion 30, such as a display and an optical module, without the need to specifically set the resisting member shown in the drawings.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection of the present invention. Within the scope.
