Abstract

A head-mounted display device and a zoom lens module are provided. The zoom lens module includes a first fixing frame, an arc zoom ring, a second fixing frame, and a first non-circular lens. The first fixing frame has an arc segment and a non-arc segment connected to each other. The arc segment has a slot. The arc zoom ring is disposed on an inner side of the arc segment and capable of sliding in a circumferential direction of the arc segment. An outer side of the arc zoom ring has a slide bar. An inner side of the arc zoom ring has a guide block. The slide bar passes through the slot and is adapted to slide along the slot. The second fixing frame is disposed on an inner side of the first fixing frame and the arc zoom ring and capable of sliding in an axial direction of the arc segment. An outer side of the second fixing frame has a guide rail. The guide block is embedded in the guide rail and adapted to slide along the guide rail. The first non-circular lens is disposed on an inner side of the second fixing frame. The guide block drives the second fixing frame to slide in the axial direction of the arc segment in response to the arc zoom ring sliding in the circumferential direction of the arc segment.

Claims (25)

1. A head-mounted display device, comprising:

a body, having two displays corresponding to a pair of eyes;

a fixture, adapted to fix the body to a user's head;

two zoom lens modules, assembled to the body and corresponding to the displays respectively, wherein each of the zoom lens modules comprises:

a first fixing frame, having an arc segment and a non-arc segment connected to each other, wherein the arc segment has a slot;

an arc zoom ring, disposed on an inner side of the arc segment and capable of sliding in a circumferential direction of the arc segment, wherein an outer side of the arc zoom ring has a slide bar, an inner side of the arc zoom ring has a guide block, and the slide bar passes through the slot and is adapted to slide along the slot;

a second fixing frame, disposed on an inner side of the first fixing frame and the arc zoom ring and capable of sliding in an axial direction of the arc segment, wherein an outer side of the second fixing frame has a guide rail, and the guide block is embedded in the guide rail and adapted to slide along the guide rail; and

a first non-circular lens, disposed on an inner side of the second fixing frame, wherein the guide block drives the second fixing frame to slide in the axial direction of the arc segment in response to the arc zoom ring sliding in the circumferential direction of the arc segment.

2. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the zoom lens modules further comprises a third fixing frame and a second non-circular lens, the first fixing frame is disposed on an inner side of the third fixing frame, and the second non-circular lens is disposed between the first fixing frame and the third fixing frame.

3. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the zoom lens modules further comprises a third non-circular lens, and the third non-circular lens is disposed on the inner side of the second fixing frame.

4. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the non-arc segment is linear.

5. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the guide block is multiple, and an amount of the guide rail corresponds to the amount of the guide block.

6. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner side of the arc segment has a groove, and the arc zoom ring is disposed in the groove and capable of sliding along the groove.

7. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the zoom lens modules is D-shaped as a whole.

8. A zoom lens module, comprising:

a first fixing frame, having an arc segment and a non-arc segment connected to each other, wherein the arc segment has a slot;

an arc zoom ring, disposed on an inner side of the arc segment and capable of sliding in a circumferential direction of the arc segment, wherein an outer side of the arc zoom ring has a slide bar, an inner side of the arc zoom ring has a guide block, and the slide bar passes through the slot and is adapted to slide along the slot;

a second fixing frame, disposed on an inner side of the first fixing frame and the arc zoom ring and capable of sliding in an axial direction of the arc segment, wherein an outer side of the second fixing frame has a guide rail, and the guide block is embedded in the guide rail and adapted to slide along the guide rail; and

a first non-circular lens, disposed on an inner side of the second fixing frame, wherein the guide block drives the second fixing frame to slide in the axial direction of the arc segment in response to the arc zoom ring sliding in the circumferential direction of the arc segment.

9. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , further comprising a third fixing frame and a second non-circular lens, the first fixing frame is disposed on an inner side of the third fixing frame, and the second non-circular lens is disposed between the first fixing frame and the third fixing frame.

10. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , further comprising a third non-circular lens, wherein the third non-circular lens is disposed on the inner side of the second fixing frame.

11. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , wherein the non-arc segment is linear.

12. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , wherein an amount of the guide block is multiple, and an amount of the guide rail corresponds to the amount of the guide block.

13. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , wherein the inner side of the arc segment has a groove, and the arc zoom ring is disposed in the groove and capable of sliding along the groove.

14. The zoom lens module according to claim 8 , wherein the zoom lens module is D-shaped as a whole.
