Abstract

A head-mounted device comprises a main body, a monitor-base, a monitor, and an adjusting component. The main body is mounted on a user's head. The monitor moves with the monitor-base. An eyes-monitor distance is defined between the user's eyes and the monitor. A visual range is defined by a range seen by the user's eyes through the monitor. The adjusting component is configured for pulling or pushing the monitor-base towards the user's eyes to prevent the eyes-monitor distance from increasing and to prevent the visual range from decreasing. When the user wears a pair of glasses between the user's eyes and the monitor, and the glasses block the monitor causing the eyes-monitor distance to be larger than a preset distance, the adjusting component pulls or pushes the monitor-base until the monitor contacts the glasses, to prevent the eyes-monitor distance from increasing. An augmented reality device is also disclosed.

Claims (32)

1 . A head-mounted device comprising:

a main body configured for being mounted on a user's head;

a monitor-base movably mounted on the main body;

a monitor mounted on the monitor-base and configured for displaying virtual images; and

an adjusting component mounted on the monitor-base,

wherein a preset distance is defined between the user's eyes and the monitor, when an eyes-monitor distance defined between the user's eyes and the monitor is greater than the preset distance, the adjusting component moves the monitor-base towards the user's eyes;

the adjusting component is an elastic member, the elastic member comprises two ends, one of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the main body, and another end of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the monitor-base;

the elastic member is a tension spring, and the tension spring is located on a side of the monitor-base facing the user.

2 . The head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is a compression spring, and the compression spring is located on a side of the monitor-base away from the user.

3 . The head-mounted device of claim 1 , further comprising a rotating shaft, wherein the monitor-base is connected to the main body with the rotating shaft, the monitor-base is rotatable relative to the main body to adjust the eyes-monitor distance.

4 . The head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a headband and the monitor-base is connected to the headband.

5 . The head-mounted device of claim 4 , wherein the main body further comprises a pad, the pad is connected to the headband, the pad defines a curved surface.

6 . An augmented reality device comprising:

a main body configured for being mounted on a user's head;

a monitor-base movably mounted on the main body;

a monitor mounted on the monitor-base and configured for displaying virtual images; and

an adjusting component mounted on the monitor-base,

wherein a preset distance is defined between the user's eyes and the monitor, when an eyes-monitor distance defined between the user's eyes and the monitor is greater than the preset distance, the adjusting component moves the monitor-base towards the user's eyes;

the adjusting component is an elastic member, the elastic member comprises two ends, one of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the main body, and another end of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the monitor-base;

the elastic member is a tension spring and the tension spring is located on a side of the monitor-base facing the user.

7 . The augmented reality device of claim 6 , wherein the elastic member is a compression spring and the compression spring is located on a side of the monitor-base away from the user.

8 . The augmented reality device of claim 6 , further comprising a rotating shaft, the monitor-base is connected to the main body with the rotating shaft, wherein the monitor-base is rotatable relative to the main body to adjust the eyes-monitor distance.

9 . The augmented reality device of claim 6 , wherein the main body comprises a headband and the monitor-base is connected to the headband.

10 . The augmented reality device of claim 9 , wherein the main body further comprises a pad, the pad is connected to the headband, the pad defines a curved surface.

11 . A head-mounted device comprising:

a main body configured for being mounted on a user's head;

a monitor-base mounted on the main body; and

a monitor mounted on the monitor-base and having a preset position,

wherein when the monitor is moved relative to the main body, the monitor is capable of moving back towards the preset position;

the elastic member is a tension spring, and the tension spring is located on a side of the monitor-base facing the user.

12 . The head-mounted device of claim 11 , further comprising an adjusting component, wherein when the monitor is moved relative to the monitor-base, the adjusting component moves the monitor back towards the preset position.

13 . The head-mounted device of claim 12 , wherein the adjusting component is an elastic member, the elastic member comprises two ends, one of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the main body, and another end of the two ends of the elastic member is connected to the monitor-base.
