Specific embodiments

[0020] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and the like are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Meanwhile, in the description of the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected;It can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection;It can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] The structure of the multifunctional smart watch provided by the utility model is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model provides a kind of multifunctional smart watch's structure as shown in, including watch body 1, built-in optical encoder 11 is installed in the inside of watch body 1, one end of watch body 1 surface is detachably connected with watchband 2 by pin shaft, watch buckle 3 is detachably connected with the pin shaft of one end of watch body 1 away from watchband 2, and watch buckle 3 and watchband 2 are used to wear watch body 1 to the wrist of user, push-pull cavity 12 is opened in one side of the surface of watch body 1, and rotatable rotating shaft 4 is slidably connected in the inside of push-pull cavity 12, and metal crown 5 is set on one end of rotating shaft 4, four groups of arc buckle 41 are integrally injection molded on the surface of rotating shaft 4, a plurality of groups of arc buckle grooves 51 are opened on the inner wall of metal crown 5, and when metal crown 5 is pulled out, arc buckle 41 and arc buckle groove 51 are locked to realize the simultaneous rotation of metal crown 5 and rotating shaft 4.

[0022] When metal crown 5 is pressed down during implementation, metal crown 5 can idle, at this time, the characteristics of optical code can realize the function of button coding, when metal crown 5 is pulled out, metal crown 5 and rotating shaft 4 are locked into an integral whole by the action of arc buckle 41 and arc buckle groove 51.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 42 is fitted on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and when the rotating shaft 4 is inserted into the push-pull cavity 12, the sealing ring 42 and the push-pull cavity 12 are tightly fitted together for sealing. A damping ring 43 is injection molded on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the damping ring 43 is pressed against the inner wall of the push-pull cavity 12. The damping ring 43 is used to prevent the rotating shaft 4 from rotating randomly.

[0024] The damping ring 43 of this utility model is injection molded from silicone and plastic. It has two functions: first, it can make the metal crown 5 rotate more smoothly; second, it has a certain damping feel, which can effectively prevent the metal crown 5 from rotating randomly and prevent the display dial from moving randomly due to slight impact.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a camera structure 7 is provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 4. The camera structure 7 is used for camera work when the smartwatch is in use. The camera structure 7 consists of a mounting hole 71 and a camera 72. The mounting hole 71 is opened on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the camera 72 is embedded inside the mounting hole 71. The camera 72 is used for camera work. An external optical encoder 9 is also installed on the side of the rotating shaft 4 away from the camera structure 7.

[0026] When implemented, after the metal crown 5 is locked, it can rotate in the same direction as the camera 72 inside the rotating shaft 4. After the metal crown 5 is pulled outward, the camera 72 inside the rotating shaft 4 is exposed. When the metal crown 5 is rotated, the camera 72 inside the mounting hole 71 can rotate together. Rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise can take a selfie; rotating 90 degrees clockwise can scan a code or take a picture of a distant scene.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a physical button 8 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 4. A movable cover 6 is provided inside the metal crown 5. When the cover 6 is pressed, it will squeeze the physical button 8, causing the physical button 8 to trigger. Four springs 81 are installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 4 and outside the physical button 8. The other end of the springs 81 is in close contact with the surface of the cover 6. In the original state, the springs 81 push the cover 6 to disengage from the physical button 8. An FPC 10 is provided inside the rotating shaft 4. The FPC 10 is electrically connected to the camera 72, the physical button 8, the external optical encoder 9, and the internal optical encoder 11. The end of the FPC 10 away from the rotating shaft 4 is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the circuit board inside the watch body 1.

[0028] During implementation, pressing the cover 6 compresses the spring 81, causing the physical button 8 to start working; in the original state, the elasticity of the spring 81 separates the physical button 8 from the cover 6.

[0029] The tasks of the built-in optical encoder 11 are two: the first task is to detect whether the camera 72 is pulled out, and the camera is opened after being pulled out; the second task is whether the camera 72 can be automatically switched when a certain distance is reached, because there is only one camera 72, and if the lens is not switched from the software, the imaging of the watch body 1 will be inverted from front to back; meanwhile, the tasks of the external optical encoder 9 are two: the first task is to identify whether the metal crown 5 is rotating, and if the metal crown 5 rotates, the characteristics of the optical encoder can be used to realize button coding, and the content of the display area can be moved or other functions can be realized; the second task is that the metal crown 5 can be pressed inward and pulled outward, and if the stroke is sufficient, it can also be used as a button function.

[0030] Working principle: when the metal crown 5 is pressed down during use, the metal crown 5 can be idling, at which time the characteristics of the optical encoder can realize the function of button coding; when the metal crown 5 is pulled out, the metal crown 5 and the rotating shaft 4 are locked into one body through the action of the arc-shaped buckle block 41 and the arc-shaped buckle groove 51, and after the metal crown 5 is locked, it can become one body with the rotating direction of the camera 72 in the rotating shaft 4; after the metal crown 5 is pulled out, the camera 72 built in the rotating shaft 4 is exposed, and when the metal crown 5 is rotated, the camera 72 in the mounting hole 71 can be rotated together; counterclockwise rotation by 90 degrees can take a selfie, and clockwise rotation by 90 degrees can scan a code or take a long shot; because the imaging is inverted after rotating by 90°, the optical encoder automatically identifies, and the lens will automatically switch.

[0031] When the real object is photographed, the cover 6 is pressed, the cover 6 compresses the spring 81 to extrude the real object button 8, so that the real object button 8 starts to work; and in the original state, the elastic force of the spring 81 separates the real object button 8 from the cover 6.

[0032] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
