[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0032] Implementation Method 1
[0033] The inventor of the present application discovered that when the power-consuming module and the power supply module are separately arranged, the removal and fixation of the battery becomes a technical problem to be solved.
[0034] In view of this, the first embodiment of the present application provides a power supply module for a smart wearable device, see Figure 1 As shown, it comprises: a housing 1, in which a battery compartment 1a is formed. The housing 1 used may be a conventional plastic housing 1, and the housing 1 may include an upper cover of the battery compartment 1a, or may only form the battery compartment 1a.
[0035] The battery module 2 is placed in the battery compartment 1a. In order to reduce weight, lithium batteries can usually be used in head-mounted devices. This battery module 2 is usually wrapped by the shell 1 to protect the internal structure.
[0036] The handle 3 is connected to the battery module 2 and is used to lift the battery module 2 out of the battery compartment 1a. In the present application, optionally, the body 31 of the handle 3 can be formed into a ring shape, and the body 31 of the handle 3 is used to connect the strap of the smart wearable device. In other words, the handle 3 itself can be a strap ring connected to the smart wearable device.
[0037] And, a locking mechanism 4 , the handle 3 is arranged on the housing 1 through the locking mechanism 4 , and the locking mechanism 4 is used to lock or release the handle 3 .
[0038] In the present application, the locking mechanism 4 can be of various styles or structures. For example, a cover with a buckle or a lock can be used to cover the battery compartment 1a to prevent the battery from falling out.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the smart wearable device of the present application can be replaced when the battery module 2 is exhausted, thereby avoiding the inability of the smart wearable device to continue working due to power problems, thereby improving the user experience.
[0040] As a preferred example of this application, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may include:
[0041] A locking groove 3a is provided on the handle 3;
[0042] The lock button 4a includes a latch portion 4a1 that can be inserted into the lock groove 3a.
[0043] When the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a is inserted into the locking groove 3a, the movement of the handle 3 can be effectively blocked. Therefore, the handle 3 can be firmly fixed by the cooperation between the locking button 4a and the locking groove 3a on the handle 3. Compared with blocking the movement of the battery module 2 by only setting a cover, since the battery module 2 is not easily displaced with the shaking of the battery compartment 1a, there is no need to set too many additional shock-absorbing components, which reduces the weight of the power supply module.
[0044] It is clear to those skilled in the art that the lock button 4a is not limited to Figures 2 to 4 Other shapes that can insert the latch portion 4a1 into the locking groove 3a can still achieve the invention purpose of this application.
[0045] As a further preferred example, see Figure 5 and Figure 5a As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may further include:
[0046] The key groove 1b is formed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The locking key 4a is embedded in the key groove 1b and can move along the key groove 1b to extend / retract the latch portion 4a1.
[0047] The key slot 1b can constrain the movement of the locking key 4a and act as a track. In addition, since the key slot 1b is provided on the housing 1, there is no need to provide an additional independent track structure, thus saving costs.
[0048] Further, see Figure 5bAs shown, a key cover 1c can also be provided on the key slot 1b. The key cover 1c can restrict the locking key 4a in the key slot 1b, thereby preventing the locking key 4a from moving and falling off. Specifically, the key cover 1c can be fixed to the housing 1 by screws and covers the surface of the key slot 1b.
[0049] Of course, the locking button 4a can also be limited by means of a buckle or other forms of limiting devices. More specific implementation methods are limited by space and will not be described in detail.
[0050] Also, see Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the locking button 4a further has a toggle portion 4a2, and the toggle portion 4a2 is used to drive the locking button 4a to move under the action of an external force, so that the latch portion 4a1 is inserted into / exited from the locking groove 3a.
[0051] In the present application, when the lock button 4a is arranged in the button slot 1b provided in the housing 1, a hole can be punched on the surface of the housing 1 facing away from the button slot 1b to allow the toggle portion 4a2 to extend. Through the toggle portion 4a2, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the lock button 4a only by fingers, thereby improving convenience.
[0052] The technical solution of the present application is applicable to the power supply module of a smart wearable device. However, since the user will inevitably move when using the smart wearable device, this places requirements on the working environment and structural strength of the power supply module.
[0053] Therefore, optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may also include:
[0054] The stop groove 3b is formed on the handle 3 and is located on another surface of the handle 3 intersecting with the surface where the locking groove 3a is located. A stop protrusion 3b1 is formed in the stop groove 3b.
[0055] The locking button 4a also has a stop portion 4a3. When the latch portion 4a1 is embedded in the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 is located on one side of the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b. When the latch portion 4a1 exits the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 is located on the other side of the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b.
[0056] In this way, the stop protrusion 3b1 can block the movement of the stop portion 4a3, and the user needs to overcome the obstruction of the stop protrusion 3b1 before being able to withdraw the latch portion 4a1 from the locking groove 3a.
[0057] Compared with fixing the handle 3 only by the latch 4a1, the cooperation between the stopper 4a3 and the stopper groove 3b can prevent the latch 4a1 from being opened by mistake, which may cause the battery module 2 to jump out or even power supply interruption, further improving the use stability of the smart wearable device.
[0058] Further optionally, the locking mechanism 4 may also include:
[0059] The stop spring 4a4 is arranged along the moving direction of the latch portion 4a1 and connects the locking button 4a and the housing 1.
[0060] The stop spring 4a4 can make the latch portion 4a1 tend to be embedded in the locking groove 3a, thereby improving the convenience of opening and closing the locking button 4a.
[0061] Alternatively, see Figure 1 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may further include:
[0062] A locking hole 4b is formed on the housing 1, and the locking hole 4b includes an insertion portion 4b1 for inserting the handle 3 and a lifting portion 4b2 for passing through when lifting the handle 3;
[0063] The handle 3 can move toward the direction of the battery module 2 to insert the body 31 into the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. The handle 3 can also move in the direction of the lifting portion 4b2 to lift the battery module 2 after the body 31 exits the insertion portion 4b1.
[0064] Specifically, the width of the lifting portion 4b2 may be smaller than the width of the locking hole 4b.
[0065] The handle 3 includes a body 31 and a connecting rod 32 extending from the body 31 , and the connecting rod 32 is connected to the battery module 2 .
[0066] That is, the cross section of the body 31 of the handle 3 can be approximately equal to the shape and size of the insertion portion 4b1, so that the body 31 can be just inserted into the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. When the battery module 2 needs to be lifted, a portion of the handle 3 can be pulled outwards to separate the body 31 of the handle 3 from the insertion portion 4b1, and then the handle 3 can be lifted to allow the connecting rod 32 to pass through the lifting portion 4b2, and the battery module 2 can be lifted and taken out.
[0067] Alternatively, see Figure 6 As shown, a restoring spring 33 is sleeved on the connecting rod 32, and when the handle 3 is withdrawn from the insertion portion 4b1, the restoring spring 33 abuts against the housing 1. The restoring spring 33 can help the handle 3 tend to be inserted into the insertion portion 4b1, thereby better preventing power failure caused by misoperation.
[0068] In addition, a fixing cap 34 may be further provided on the connecting rod 32 to resist the restoring spring 33 .
[0069] Based on the above structure, the present application provides the following steps for installing a battery module 2 of a power supply module of a smart wearable device:
[0070] 1. See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, after the connecting rod 32 of the handle 3 is connected to the battery module 2, the battery module 2 is slowly lowered into the battery compartment 1a through the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b until the body 31 of the handle 3 is aligned with the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b.
[0071] 2. Pull the toggle part 4a2 to retract the latch part 4a1 of the locking button 4a into the button groove 1b, and at the same time the stop part 4a3 is moved to the side relatively far from the handle 3, that is, the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. The stop spring 4a4 will be compressed to store elastic potential energy.
[0072] 3. Insert the handle 3 into the battery compartment 1a so that the body 31 of the handle 3 is embedded in the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. At this time, the restoring spring 33 will return to its initial length, and the released elastic potential energy can help the body 31 of the handle 3 to better embed into the insertion portion 4b1.
[0073] 4. When the body 31 of the handle 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 4b1, the stop portion 4a3 is located on the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. When the toggle portion 4a2 is pushed, the stop spring 4a4 releases its elastic potential energy, and the stop portion 4a3 passes over the stop protrusion 3b1 and is located on the right side of the stop protrusion 3b1. At the same time, the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a is inserted into the locking groove 3a.
[0074] In this way, the battery is firmly fixed in three axial directions through the cooperation between the latch portion 4a1 and the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 and the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b, and the handle 3 and the locking hole 4b.
[0075] At the same time, based on the above structure, the present application also provides a disassembly step of a battery module 2 of a power supply module of a smart wearable device as follows:
[0076] 1. See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the toggle portion 4a2 is pulled to retract the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a into the button slot 1b, and at the same time, the stop portion 4a3 passes over the stop protrusion 3b1 and is located on the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. The stop spring 4a4 will be compressed to store elastic potential energy.
[0077] 2. Release the toggle portion 4a2. Under the premise that no external force is applied to the toggle portion 4a2, due to the obstruction of the stop protrusion 3b1, the elastic potential energy of the stop spring 4a4 will not be released, so the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a will remain in the retracted state.
[0078] 3. Pull out the handle 3 in a direction away from the battery compartment 1a, so that the body 31 of the handle 3 is separated from the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. The restoring spring 33 can prevent the handle 3 from being pulled out in case of misoperation.
[0079] 4. The battery module 2 can be slowly lifted out of the battery compartment 1a through the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b.
[0080] The present application realizes the detachability of the battery module 2 of the power supply module of the smart wearable device through the cooperation of the above-mentioned structure. Through this application, users can freely replace the battery of the smart wearable device, which improves the battery life and convenience of the whole device. It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned structures are not all necessary. Ordinary technicians in this field can remove part of the fixed structure according to actual needs. For example, even if the stop protrusion 3b1 and the stop portion 4a3 are not provided, part of the technical purpose of this application can still be achieved. For another example, even if the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b is not provided, it is still feasible to set the body 31 of the handle 3 on the upper edge of the shell 1 constituting the battery compartment 1a.
[0081] The battery module 2 in the prior art is usually closed by a cover with a buckle. If no screws are provided, it is easy for the battery module 2 to move or even fall out of the battery compartment 1a during intense exercise. If screws are provided, a screwdriver is required for disassembly, which is cumbersome and complicated to operate and inconvenient. However, since the power supply module of the smart wearable device of the present application can achieve better fixing, shock absorption and protection effects without the need for additional tools, compared with the traditional detachable design of the battery module 2, the present application achieves shock absorption and fixation of the battery module 2 under simpler and lower cost control, which has greater advantages.
[0082] In summary, the present invention has a simple structure, occupies a small space, has a long battery life, and has better convenience. Moreover, the battery of the present invention is detachable, which can significantly extend the life cycle of the smart wearable device.
[0083] Implementation Method 2
[0084] A second embodiment of the present application provides a smart wearable device, including a power consumption module and a power supply module.
[0085] Among them, the power module is usually worn on one side of the user's body. In head-mounted devices, the power module can be a head-mounted display (HMD). The head-mounted display sends optical signals to the eyes and sound signals to the ears through various optical devices and acoustic devices, which can achieve different effects such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). It is worth mentioning that when the smart wearable device is a head-mounted device, the body part referred to can be the head. When the smart wearable device is a wristband, the body part referred to can be the wrist. Other types of smart wearable devices can also be deduced by analogy.
[0086] See also Figure 1 As shown, the power supply module includes:
[0087] The housing 1 has a battery compartment 1a formed therein. The housing 1 may be a conventional plastic housing 1, and the housing 1 may include an upper cover of the battery compartment 1a, or may only form the battery compartment 1a.
[0088] The battery module 2 is placed in the battery compartment 1a. In order to reduce weight, lithium batteries can usually be used in head-mounted devices. This battery module 2 is usually wrapped by the shell 1 to protect the internal structure.
[0089] The handle 3 is connected to the battery module 2 and is used to lift the battery module 2 out of the battery compartment 1a. In the present application, optionally, the body 31 of the handle 3 can be formed into a ring shape, and the body 31 of the handle 3 is used to connect the strap of the smart wearable device. In other words, the handle 3 itself can be a strap ring connected to the smart wearable device.
[0090] And, a locking mechanism 4 , the handle 3 is arranged on the housing 1 through the locking mechanism 4 , and the locking mechanism 4 is used to lock or release the handle 3 .
[0091] In the present application, the locking mechanism 4 can be of various styles or structures. For example, a cover with a buckle or a lock can be used to cover the battery compartment 1a to prevent the battery from falling out.
[0092] Compared with the prior art, the smart wearable device of the present application can be replaced when the battery module 2 is exhausted, thereby avoiding the inability of the smart wearable device to continue working due to power problems, thereby improving the user experience.
[0093] As a preferred example of this application, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may include:
[0094] A locking groove 3a is provided on the handle 3;
[0095] The lock button 4a includes a latch portion 4a1 that can be inserted into the lock groove 3a.
[0096] When the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a is inserted into the locking groove 3a, the movement of the handle 3 can be effectively blocked. Therefore, the handle 3 can be firmly fixed by the cooperation between the locking button 4a and the locking groove 3a on the handle 3. Compared with blocking the movement of the battery module 2 by only setting a cover, since the battery module 2 is not easily displaced with the shaking of the battery compartment 1a, there is no need to set too many additional shock-absorbing components, which reduces the weight of the power supply module.
[0097] It is clear to those skilled in the art that the lock button 4a is not limited to Figures 2 to 4 Other shapes that can insert the latch portion 4a1 into the locking groove 3a can still achieve the invention purpose of this application.
[0098] As a further preferred example, see Figure 5 and Figure 5a As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may further include:
[0099] The key groove 1b is formed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The locking key 4a is embedded in the key groove 1b and can move along the key groove 1b to extend / retract the latch portion 4a1.
[0100] The key slot 1b can constrain the movement of the locking key 4a and act as a track. In addition, since the key slot 1b is provided on the housing 1, there is no need to provide an additional independent track structure, thus saving costs.
[0101] Further, see Figure 5b As shown, a key cover 1c can also be provided on the key slot 1b. The key cover 1c can restrict the locking key 4a in the key slot 1b, thereby preventing the locking key 4a from moving and falling off. Specifically, the key cover 1c can be fixed to the housing 1 by screws and covers the surface of the key slot 1b.
[0102] Of course, the locking button 4a can also be limited by means of a buckle or other forms of limiting devices. More specific implementation methods are limited by space and will not be described in detail.
[0103] Also, see Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the locking button 4a further has a toggle portion 4a2, and the toggle portion 4a2 is used to drive the locking button 4a to move under the action of an external force, so that the latch portion 4a1 is inserted into / exited from the locking groove 3a.
[0104] In the present application, when the lock button 4a is arranged in the button slot 1b provided in the housing 1, a hole can be punched on the surface of the housing 1 facing away from the button slot 1b to allow the toggle portion 4a2 to extend. Through the toggle portion 4a2, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the lock button 4a only by fingers, thereby improving convenience.
[0105] The technical solution of the present application is applicable to the power supply module of a smart wearable device. However, since the user will inevitably move when using the smart wearable device, this places requirements on the working environment and structural strength of the power supply module.
[0106] Therefore, optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may also include:
[0107] The stop groove 3b is formed on the handle 3 and is located on another surface of the handle 3 intersecting with the surface where the locking groove 3a is located. A stop protrusion 3b1 is formed in the stop groove 3b.
[0108] The locking button 4a also has a stop portion 4a3. When the latch portion 4a1 is embedded in the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 is located on one side of the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b. When the latch portion 4a1 exits the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 is located on the other side of the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b.
[0109] In this way, the stop protrusion 3b1 can block the movement of the stop portion 4a3, and the user needs to overcome the obstruction of the stop protrusion 3b1 before being able to withdraw the latch portion 4a1 from the locking groove 3a.
[0110] Compared with fixing the handle 3 only by the latch 4a1, the cooperation between the stopper 4a3 and the stopper groove 3b can prevent the latch 4a1 from being opened by mistake, which may cause the battery module 2 to jump out or even power supply interruption, further improving the use stability of the smart wearable device.
[0111] Further optionally, the locking mechanism 4 may also include:
[0112] The stop spring 4a4 is arranged along the moving direction of the latch portion 4a1 and connects the locking button 4a and the housing 1.
[0113] The stop spring 4a4 can make the latch portion 4a1 tend to be embedded in the locking groove 3a, thereby improving the convenience of opening and closing the locking button 4a.
[0114] Alternatively, see Figure 1 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 may further include:
[0115] A locking hole 4b is formed on the housing 1, and the locking hole 4b includes an insertion portion 4b1 for inserting the handle 3 and a lifting portion 4b2 for passing through when lifting the handle 3;
[0116] The handle 3 can move toward the direction of the battery module 2 to insert the body 31 into the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. The handle 3 can also move in the direction of the lifting portion 4b2 to lift the battery module 2 after the body 31 exits the insertion portion 4b1.
[0117] Specifically, the width of the lifting portion 4b2 may be smaller than the width of the locking hole 4b.
[0118] The handle 3 includes a body 31 and a connecting rod 32 extending from the body 31 , and the connecting rod 32 is connected to the battery module 2 .
[0119] That is, the cross section of the body 31 of the handle 3 can be approximately equal to the shape and size of the insertion portion 4b1, so that the body 31 can be just inserted into the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. When the battery module 2 needs to be lifted, a portion of the handle 3 can be pulled outwards to separate the body 31 of the handle 3 from the insertion portion 4b1, and then the handle 3 can be lifted to allow the connecting rod 32 to pass through the lifting portion 4b2, and the battery module 2 can be lifted and taken out.
[0120] Alternatively, see Figure 6 As shown, a restoring spring 33 is sleeved on the connecting rod 32, and when the handle 3 is withdrawn from the insertion portion 4b1, the restoring spring 33 abuts against the housing 1. The restoring spring 33 can help the handle 3 tend to be inserted into the insertion portion 4b1, thereby better preventing power failure caused by misoperation.
[0121] In addition, a fixing cap 34 may be further provided on the connecting rod 32 to resist the restoring spring 33 .
[0122] Based on the above structure, the present application provides the following steps for installing a battery module 2 of a power supply module of a smart wearable device:
[0123] 1. See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, after the connecting rod 32 of the handle 3 is connected to the battery module 2, the battery module 2 is slowly lowered into the battery compartment 1a through the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b until the body 31 of the handle 3 is aligned with the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b.
[0124] 2. Pull the toggle part 4a2 to retract the latch part 4a1 of the locking button 4a into the button groove 1b, and at the same time the stop part 4a3 is moved to the side relatively far from the handle 3, that is, the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. The stop spring 4a4 will be compressed to store elastic potential energy.
[0125] 3. Insert the handle 3 into the battery compartment 1a so that the body 31 of the handle 3 is embedded in the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. At this time, the restoring spring 33 will return to its initial length, and the released elastic potential energy can help the body 31 of the handle 3 to better embed into the insertion portion 4b1.
[0126] 4. When the body 31 of the handle 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 4b1, the stop portion 4a3 is located on the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. When the toggle portion 4a2 is pushed, the stop spring 4a4 releases its elastic potential energy, and the stop portion 4a3 passes over the stop protrusion 3b1 and is located on the right side of the stop protrusion 3b1. At the same time, the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a is inserted into the locking groove 3a.
[0127] In this way, the battery is firmly fixed in three axial directions through the cooperation between the latch portion 4a1 and the locking groove 3a, the stop portion 4a3 and the stop protrusion 3b1 in the stop groove 3b, and the handle 3 and the locking hole 4b.
[0128] At the same time, based on the above structure, the present application also provides a disassembly step of a battery module 2 of a power supply module of a smart wearable device as follows:
[0129] 1. See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the toggle portion 4a2 is pulled to retract the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a into the button slot 1b, and at the same time, the stop portion 4a3 passes over the stop protrusion 3b1 and is located on the left side of the stop protrusion 3b1. The stop spring 4a4 will be compressed to store elastic potential energy.
[0130] 2. Release the toggle portion 4a2. Under the premise that no external force is applied to the toggle portion 4a2, due to the obstruction of the stop protrusion 3b1, the elastic potential energy of the stop spring 4a4 will not be released, so the latch portion 4a1 of the locking button 4a will remain in the retracted state.
[0131] 3. Pull out the handle 3 in a direction away from the battery compartment 1a, so that the body 31 of the handle 3 is separated from the insertion portion 4b1 of the locking hole 4b. The restoring spring 33 can prevent the handle 3 from being pulled out in case of misoperation.
[0132] 4. The battery module 2 can be slowly lifted out of the battery compartment 1a through the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b.
[0133] The present application realizes the detachability of the battery module 2 of the power supply module of the smart wearable device through the cooperation of the above-mentioned structure. Through this application, users can freely replace the battery of the smart wearable device, which improves the battery life and convenience of the whole device. It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned structures are not all necessary. Ordinary technicians in this field can remove part of the fixed structure according to actual needs. For example, even if the stop protrusion 3b1 and the stop portion 4a3 are not provided, part of the technical purpose of this application can still be achieved. For another example, even if the lifting portion 4b2 of the locking hole 4b is not provided, it is still feasible to set the body 31 of the handle 3 on the upper edge of the shell 1 constituting the battery compartment 1a.
[0134] The battery module 2 in the prior art is usually closed by a cover with a buckle. If no screws are provided, it is easy for the battery module 2 to move or even fall out of the battery compartment 1a during intense exercise. If screws are provided, a screwdriver is required for disassembly, which is cumbersome and complicated to operate and inconvenient. However, since the power supply module of the smart wearable device of the present application can achieve better fixing, shock absorption and protection effects without the need for additional tools, compared with the traditional detachable design of the battery module 2, the present application achieves shock absorption and fixation of the battery module 2 under simpler and lower cost control, which has greater advantages.
[0135] In summary, the present invention has a simple structure, occupies a small space, has a long battery life, and has better convenience. Moreover, the battery of the present invention is detachable, which can significantly extend the life cycle of the smart wearable device.
[0136] Finally, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in the above-mentioned embodiments, many technical details are provided in order to enable readers to better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the technical solutions claimed for protection by the claims of the present application can be basically realized. Therefore, in practical applications, various changes can be made to the above-mentioned embodiments in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
