Abstract

The disclosure provides a head-mounted display device, including a body and a fan. The body is used for wearing on a user's face. The body has an airflow channel, a first tuyere, and a second tuyere. The airflow channel is connected to the outside via the first tuyere and the airflow channel is connected to a space between the body and the user's face via the second tuyere. The fan is configured in the airflow channel and is used for driving the airflow in the airflow channel.

Claims (14)

1. A head-mounted display device, comprising:

a body for wearing on a face of a user, wherein the body is formed with an airflow channel inside an inner space of the body, a first tuyere, and a second tuyere, the airflow channel is connected to an outside of the head-mounted display device via the first tuyere, and the airflow channel is connected to a space between the body and the face of the user via the second tuyere; and

a fan, mechanically coupled with the airflow channel, for driving an airflow in the airflow channel,

wherein the body has a heating element and a heat sink therein, a portion of the heat sink is located in the airflow channel, and the heat sink is in contact with the heating element.

2. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the body has a left lens and a right lens, the second tuyere is located between the left lens and the right lens, above the left lens, or above the right lens.

3. The head-mounted display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second tuyere corresponds to a glabella or a forehead of the user.

4. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat sink is near to the first tuyere, after the fan drives outside air to flow into the space between the body and the face of the user, air flows into the airflow channel via the second tuyere and leaves from the first tuyere.

5. The head-mounted display device according to claim 4 , wherein the body further has a third tuyere located on a side of the body away from the face of the user, and the airflow channel is connected to the third tuyere.

6. The head-mounted display device according to claim 5 , wherein the fan drives outside air to flow into the airflow channel via the third tuyere and to leave from the first tuyere.

7. The head-mounted display device according to claim 6 , wherein the body further has a fourth tuyere located on a lower side of the body, the airflow channel is connected to the fourth tuyere.

8. The head-mounted display device according to claim 7 , wherein the fan drives outside air to flow into the airflow channel via the fourth tuyere and to leave from the first tuyere.

9. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fan drives outside air to flow from the first tuyere into the body and blows in a direction toward the user.

10. The head-mounted display device according to claim 5 , wherein the airflow channel comprises a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel, and a third sub-channel, an end of the first sub-channel is connected to the second tuyere, the second sub-channel is connected to the third tuyere, an end of the third sub-channel is connected to the first tuyere, another end of the third sub-channel is connected to the first sub-chancel and the second sub-channel, and an flow rate at the first tuyere is equal to a sum of an flow rate in the first sub-channel and an flow rate in the second sub-channel.

11. The head-mounted display device according to claim 10 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the first sub-channel is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the second sub-channel.
