This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201911235702.7, filed on Dec. 5, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of terminals, and more particularly, to phototherapy glasses and a glasses case.
Visible phototherapy can use artificial light to simulate sunlight, to help treating various mental conditions and other symptoms related to the human biological clock, such as seasonal affective disorders, depression, delayed sleep disorders, and insomnia.
In a related art, a phototherapy lamp may be provided. A user needs to sit near the phototherapy lamp and enable light emitted by the phototherapy lamp to reach the user's eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of phototherapy. However, due to the disadvantages of heavy weight of the phototherapy lamp and tedious position movement, the user may not move freely during the therapy.
In another related art, a wearable phototherapy product may be provided. A user can perform some daily activities, such as sweeping a floor and reading a book, while wearing the wearable phototherapy product to achieve the purpose of phototherapy. However, current wearable phototherapy products may have special or strange product forms, which affect the aesthetics and convenience of patients when they are worn.
According to a first aspect of embodiments of the disclosure, phototherapy glasses include: a front frame, a first temple, and a second temple, the first temple and the second temple being hinged to a first side and a second side of the front frame, respectively, so that the first temple and the second temple can be folded and unfolded relative to the front frame; a light source component disposed on at least one of the first temple or the second temple; a lens disposed on the front frame; and a reflecting layer, the reflecting layer being formed on the lens and configured to reflect light from the light source component, so that the light is reflected to eyes of a user.
According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the disclosure, a glasses case is provided to cooperate with the phototherapy glasses according to the first aspect. The glasses case includes a charging component. The charging component cooperates with the phototherapy glasses to charge the phototherapy glasses through the glasses case.
It is to be understood that the above general description and detailed description below are only exemplary and explanatory and not intended to limit the present disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the disclosure and, together with the specification, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numeral in different drawings represents the same or similar elements unless otherwise specified. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
Terms used in the disclosure are for the purpose of describing exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the disclosure. For example, although the terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used in the disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information and, similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information.
Further, the phototherapy glasses 100 may further include a light source component 4, a lens 5, and a reflecting layer 6. The light source component 4 may be disposed on at least one of the first temple 2 or the second temple 3. The lens 5 may be disposed on the front frame 1. The reflecting layer 6 may be formed on the lens 5. The reflecting layer 6 may be configured to reflect light from the light source component 4, so that the light from the light source component 4 can be reflected to the eyes of the user to achieve the phototherapy effect. The phototherapy glasses 100 may further include a color changing layer formed on the lens 5. The color changing layer may change color according to the intensity of irradiated ultraviolet light. For example, when the ultraviolet light is strong, the color of the color changing layer is darkened, and light entering the eyes of the user is weakened. When the ultraviolet light is weak, the color of the color changing layer is lighter, which is beneficial to light transmission and makes the eyes of the user more adaptable to current environmental conditions.
The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the disclosure may include the following beneficial effects.
In the above embodiments, the phototherapy glasses 100 can be stored and worn through the folding and unfolding of the first temple 2 and the second temple 3 relative to the front frame 1. The structure is simplified as compared to the phototherapy glasses in the related art. Further, the light source component 4 is disposed on the first temple 2 or the second temple 3 and cooperates with the reflection effect of the reflecting layer 6 to simplify the appearance structure of the phototherapy glasses while achieving the phototherapy effect.
In some embodiments, the reflecting layer 6 may be disposed on a side of the lens 5 facing the eyes of the user, thereby avoiding the light from the light source component 4 from being weakened or refracted during the process of light transmission through the lens, which is beneficial to ensure the phototherapy effect. Further, the reflecting layer 6 may allow light of a fixed frequency to be reflected, and light of a frequency other than the fixed frequency may pass through the reflecting layer 6, so that the user can see the outside world with the phototherapy glasses while ensuring the phototherapy effect.
In an embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, the light source 41 may be disposed at a focal point of the lens 5, and an angle formed by parallel light exiting from the plano-convex lens 42 and the lens 5 may be between 25° and 55°. Therefore, the light from the light source 41 may be emitted to the reflecting layer 6 obliquely. By adjusting the position of the reflecting layer 6 and an incident angle of the light, it is beneficial to make the light from the light source enter the eyes of the user perpendicularly, thereby improving the visual effect and the phototherapy effect. The light source 41 may include an LED light source, such as blue LED light of 465 nm, blue light with the illumination intensity of 1001 ux, green light with the illumination intensity of 3501 ux or white light with the illumination intensity of 1000-50001 ux, which may be specifically designed according to therapy requirements and will not be limited in the disclosure.
In some embodiments, the reflecting layer 6 may include a non-metallic dielectric film layer, which is beneficial to realize the connection between the reflecting layer 6 and the lens 5. For example, the reflecting layer 6 may include a dichroic coating or a dielectric coating. When the reflecting layer 6 is a dielectric coating, for example, a film layer may include 25-30 layers, and the thickness of the reflecting layer 6 is, for example, 2 um±1 um. The reflecting layer may be specifically designed as required and will not be limited in the disclosure.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in
In some embodiments, in order to equalize the light intensity felt by the two eyes of the user, the first lens and the second lens may each be provided with the reflecting layer 6, and the first temple 2 and the second temple 3 may each be provided with the light source component 4. The switching states of the light source components 4 disposed on the first temple 2 and the second temple 3 may be synchronized to equalize light reflected into different eyes of the user.
In some embodiments, the light source 41 may include a first light source located on the first temple 2 and a second light source located on the second temple 3. Further, as shown in
Further, as shown in
In order to protect the phototherapy glasses 100 during non-therapy periods, the disclosure also provides a glasses case (not shown in the figure). The glasses case may cooperate with the phototherapy glasses 100 in each of the above embodiments. Furthermore, the glasses case may further include a charging component. The charging component may cooperate with the phototherapy glasses 100, so that the phototherapy glasses 100 can be charged through the glasses case, and a situation of insufficient power when a user starts the phototherapy glasses 100 can be avoided. In an embodiment, the charging component may include a physical charging interface. The physical charging interface is electrically connected to the charging module 9 of the phototherapy glasses 100 for charging. The physical charging interface may include a USB-C type interface. In another embodiment, the charging component may also charge the phototherapy glasses by wireless charging. For example, the charging component includes an electromagnetic induction type wireless charging coil and forms a charging area inside the glasses case. When the phototherapy glasses 100 are placed in the glasses case and the charging module 9 of the phototherapy glasses 100 is aligned with the charging area in the glasses case, charging can be realized, and the use of a data cable is avoided, which is convenient and quick. Alternatively, the phototherapy glasses may also be wirelessly charged by being attached to the glasses case in a contact manner.
In one embodiment, the glasses case itself may also be charged in a wired or wireless manner, which is not limited here.
In one embodiment, the glasses case may further include an indicator light for displaying a charging state of the phototherapy glasses. The glasses case may also include a display screen for displaying the current power of the phototherapy glasses.
