Abstract

A portable virtual reality glasses for accommodating an electronic device is provided. The portable virtual reality glasses includes a frame and a spectacle frame assembly assembled with optical lens. The frame includes a first cover, a second cover, a first side plate body, and a second side plate body. The first cover, the second cover, the first side plate body, and the second side plate body are connected with each other to define an accommodation space. By relatively moving the first side plate body and the second side plate body with respect to the first cover and the second cover, the frame can be transformed to either an extended state or a folded state, to change a volume of the accommodation space. The spectacle frame assembly is connected with the frame, for moving relative to the accommodation space of the frame.

4. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one adhesive sheet for connecting the first cover with the upper plate, connecting the upper plate with the lower plate, and connecting the lower plate with the second cover.

5. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 1, wherein the spectacle frame assembly comprises a spectacle skeleton, one side of which is pivotally connected to the frame;

when the frame is in the extended state, another side of the spectacle skeleton supports the frame; and

when the frame is in the folded state, the spectacle skeleton is pivoted toward an inner of the accommodation space.

6. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 5, wherein the spectacle skeleton comprises at least one protrusive spindle, and the frame comprises at least one socket for fastening to the protrusive spindle of the spectacle skeleton, such that the spectacle skeleton is pivotable at the protrusive spindle within the accommodation space.

7. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 5, wherein the spectacle skeleton further comprises at least one protrusive post, and the frame further comprises at least one through hole;

when the frame is in the extended state, the protrusive post of the spectacle skeleton is engaged within the through hole of the frame for supporting the frame.

8. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 5, wherein the spectacle frame assembly further comprises at least one eyeglasses fastening assembly for clamping the optical lens and assembling with the spectacle skeleton.

9. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 8, wherein at least one groove corresponding to the spectacle skeleton is formed on the eyeglasses fastening assembly, for moving the eyeglasses fastening assembly together with the optical lens along a direction parallel to the electronic device.

10. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 9, wherein the spectacle skeleton comprises at least one positioning elastic arm at a portion corresponding to the groove of the eyeglasses fastening assembly, for preventing the eyeglasses fastening assembly from sliding in the spectacle skeleton.

11. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a slidable assembly assembled with the frame, wherein the spectacle frame assembly further comprises at least one eyeglasses fastening assembly for clamping the optical lens, and the eyeglasses fastening assembly is fixed on the slidable assembly.

12. The portable virtual reality glasses as claimed in claim 11, wherein the eyeglasses fastening assembly comprises a bending section, and when the frame is in the folded state, the eyeglasses fastening assembly rests on the first cover of the frame by bending the bending section, or when the frame is transformed to the extended state, the eyeglasses fastening assembly is perpendicular to the first cover of the frame by reversely bending the bending section.
