Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present application relates to a device and a head strap module, and in particular to a wearable device and a head strap module.

Description of Related Art

As the technology industry becomes increasingly developed, the types, functions of use, and methods of use of display devices are becoming more diverse, and wearable display devices that may be worn directly on the user's body have also emerged accordingly. There are many types of head-mounted display devices. Take glasses-type head-mounted display devices as an example. After a user wears this type of display device, in addition to seeing three-dimensional images, the images are also changed as the user's head turns, providing the user with a more immersive experience. However, when the user is playing games and the movements are too intense, a pair of temple legs of a glasses-type head-mounted display device may not provide sufficient clamping force. Therefore, providing one additional head strap module assembled to the ends of the temple legs may reduce the risk of the glasses-type head-mounted display device falling.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. In the present embodiment, a wearable device 100 includes a host 110 and a head strap module 120. The host 110 is a head-mounted display and may be applied in a field such as virtual reality system, augmented reality system, or mixed reality system. The host 110 may include a member such as an optical system and a protective shell, and may be provided with a display or be suitable for placing a display. The display may be a built-in display or an external portable display (such as a smart phone, etc.), but not limited thereto. The optical system includes an optical element used to change the optical path of the display, such as a lens, a light guide element, or a prism.

In the present embodiment, two opposite sides of the host 110 have a first host connecting end 111 and a second host connecting end 112 respectively. The head strap module 120 includes a head strap body 120a. Two opposite sides of the head strap body 120a have a first head strap connecting end 121 and a second head strap connecting end 122 respectively. The first head strap connecting end 121 and the second head strap connecting end 122 are detachably assembled to the first host connecting end 111 and the second host connecting end 112 respectively.

In the present embodiment, two opposite sides of the host 110 may have a first bracket 110-1 and a second bracket 110-2 respectively, and the ends of the first bracket 110-1 and the second bracket 110-2 may serve as the first host connecting end 111 and the second host connecting end 112 respectively. Moreover, two opposite sides of the head strap body 120a may have a first strap body 120a-1 and a second strap body 120a-2 respectively, and the ends of the first strap body 120a-1 and the second strap body 120a-2 may serve as the first head strap connecting end 121 and the second head strap connecting end 122 respectively.

In more detail, in the present embodiment, the head strap module 120 further includes an adjustment mechanism (not shown) disposed in the head strap body 120a. An adjustment mechanism 128c is disposed at the overlap of the first strap body 120a-1 and the second strap body 120a-2 to adjust the overlap length of the first strap body 120a-1 and the second strap body 120a-2. In other words, after the host 110 and the head strap module 120 are combined, by adjusting the overlap length of the first strap body 120a-1 and the second strap body 120a-2, users with different body shapes may wear the wearable device 100 comfortably and securely.

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C. In the present embodiment, the head strap module 120 further includes a first strengthening assembly 123. The first strengthening assembly 123 has a first outer cover 123a and a first inner cover 123b. The first outer cover 123a and the first inner cover 123b are connected to each other to jointly cover and hold the first host connecting end 111 and the first head strap connecting end 121. Therefore, the first strengthening assembly 123 provides structural reinforcement, so that the assembly connection between the first host connecting end 111 of the host 110 and the first head strap connecting end 121 of the head strap body 120a is more stable.

In addition, the head strap module 120 further includes a second strengthening assembly 124. The second strengthening assembly 124 has a second outer cover 124a and a second inner cover 124b. The second outer cover 124a and the second inner cover 124b are connected to each other to jointly cover and hold the second host connecting end 112 and the second head strap connecting end 122. Therefore, the second strengthening assembly 124 provides structural reinforcement, so that the assembly connection between the second host connecting end 112 of the host 110 and the second head strap connecting end 122 of the head strap body 120a is more stable.

Please refer to FIG. 1C and FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C. In the present embodiment, a side of the first outer cover 123a may be pivotally connected to a side of the first inner cover 123b, so that the first outer cover 123a and the first inner cover 123b are opened to accommodate the first host connecting end 111 and the first head strap connecting end 121. Moreover, another side of the first outer cover 123a may be detachably connected (such as the locking of a screw S) to another side of the first inner cover 123b, so that the first outer cover 123a and the first inner cover 123b are closed to jointly cover and hold the first host connecting end 111 and the first head strap connecting end 121.

Please refer to FIG. 1C and FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C. In the present embodiment, a side of the second outer cover 124a may be pivotally connected to a side of the second inner cover 124b, so that the second outer cover 124a and the second inner cover 124b are opened to accommodate the second host connecting end 112 and the second head strap connecting end 122. Moreover, another side of the second outer cover 124a may be detachably connected (such as the locking of the screw S) to another side of the second inner cover 124b, so that the second outer cover 124a and the second inner cover 124b are closed to jointly cover and hold the second host connecting end 112 and the second head strap connecting end 122.

Please refer to FIG. 2A again. In the present embodiment, the first host connecting end 111 may have a first host protrusion 111-1. The first head strap connecting end 121 may have a first head strap protrusion 121-1. The first inner cover 123b may have a first assembly recess 123b-1 to cooperate with the first host protrusion 111-1 and the first head strap protrusion 121-1. In addition, the first host connecting end 111 may have a first alignment recess 111-2. The first inner cover 123b may have a first alignment protrusion 123b-2 to fit with the first alignment recess 111-2.

Please refer to FIG. 3A again. In the present embodiment, the second host connecting end 112 may have a second host protrusion 112-1. The second head strap connecting end 122 may have a second head strap protrusion 122-1. The second inner cover 124b may have a second assembly recess 124b-1 to cooperate with the second host protrusion 112-1 and the second head strap protrusion 122-1. In addition, the second host connecting end 112 may have a second alignment recess 112-2. The second inner cover 124b may have a second alignment protrusion 124b-2 to fit with the second alignment recess 112-2.

Please refer further to FIG. 1C and FIG. 4. In the present embodiment, the first strengthening assembly 123 may have a first strap hole 123c.
