[0059] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0060] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0061] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0062] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0063] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electrode device is provided. Figure 1-2b As shown, the electrode device includes an electrode body 1, a housing, and a circuit board 4. One end of the electrode body 1 protrudes from the housing surface. The other end of the electrode body 1 is connected to the circuit board 4 inside the housing. The housing is provided with a predetermined shaped slide groove 9. One end of the electrode body 1 slides along the slide groove 9 and can be stabilized in a predetermined position within the slide groove 9.

[0065] One end of the electrode body 1 protrudes from the surface of the shell and is used to contact the human skin to collect various human vital signs information, such as human heart rate, blood oxygen and body temperature.

[0066] The other end of the electrode body 1 is connected to the circuit board 4 inside the housing. One end of the electrode body 1 contacts the human skin, while the other end is connected to the circuit board 4. This connection between the electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 enables the controller to promptly process the collected human vital signs and provide feedback to the user, enabling real-time and accurate monitoring.

[0067] The housing is disposed on the circuit board 4. For example, the housing is welded to the circuit board 4 to form a receiving cavity with the circuit board 4. The housing can shield other components on the circuit board 4 from magnetic field interference, thereby allowing other components to operate normally.

[0068] Of course, the connection method can also be other methods such as clamping, riveting, bonding, etc., as long as it can achieve the setting of the shell on the circuit board 4, and there is no limitation here.

[0069] The housing is provided with a chute 9 of a predetermined shape. The predetermined shape of the chute 9 can be a cross shape, a straight shape, a Y shape, etc. The predetermined shape of the chute 9 can be set according to the actual needs of the user and is not limited here.

[0070] One end of the electrode body 1 slides along the chute 9 and can be stabilized at a predetermined position in the chute 9. One end of the electrode body 1 can slide along the chute 9, so that the electrode body 1 can be slid to a predetermined position and stabilized at a predetermined position in the chute 9 according to the actual needs of the user, and then the user can collect data at the predetermined position, ultimately obtaining accurate collection data and realizing real-time monitoring of human vital signs information.

[0071] In another example, there may be multiple electrode bodies 1. Figure 11-11c As shown, four electrode bodies 1 are used as an example. The electrode bodies 1 are evenly distributed on the circuit board 4 and connected to the circuit board 4. The housing is provided on the circuit board 4. Four chutes 9 are provided on the housing. The four electrode bodies 1 are arranged in the chutes 9 and slide along the chutes 9. Users can adjust the specific positions of the electrode bodies 1 according to actual needs, thereby forming different combinations of electrode body 1 positions to meet different application scenarios, and ultimately collect human vital sign information.

[0072] Of course, those skilled in the art can set the number of electrode bodies 1 according to actual needs, increase or decrease the number of electrode bodies 1 and adjust the position of electrode bodies 1 as needed. The schematic diagram given in this embodiment is a regular position combination, which can of course also be an irregular position combination, and there is no limitation here.

[0073] In one example, the electrode body 1 includes an electrode base 103, a necking section 102, and an electrode sensing head 101. The electrode sensing head 101 protrudes from the surface of the housing. The necking section 102 is located between the electrode base 103 and the electrode sensing head 101. The size of the necking section 102 is adapted to the chute 9.

[0074] For example, the electrode sensing head 101 protrudes from the surface of the shell, which enables the electrode sensing head 101 to be in close contact with the human skin, making it more stable when collecting various vital signs information of the human body, and ultimately making the collected data more accurate.

[0075] like Figure 3-Figure 3a As shown, the necking section 102 is located between the electrode base 103 and the electrode sensing head 101. One end of the necking section 102 is connected to the electrode base 103, and the other end of the necking section 102 is connected to the electrode sensing head 101. The axial dimension of the necking section 102 is smaller than the electrode base 103 and the electrode sensing head 101. The size of the necking section 102 is adapted to the slide groove 9. This enables the electrode body 1 to slide along the slide groove 9. The electrode base 103 enables one end of the electrode body 1 to be arranged in the accommodating cavity formed by the circuit board 4 and the shell. The electrode sensing head 101 enables the electrode body 1 to form good contact with the human skin and accurately collect various vital signs information of the human body.

[0076] In addition, the electrode sensing head 101, the electrode base 103 and the necking section 102 are made of the same material and are integrally formed, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the electrode body 1, is suitable for mass production, and reduces production costs.

[0077] Of course, the shape of the electrode body 1 may also be cylindrical, or other suitable shapes, which are not limited here.

[0078] In one example, the electrode device further includes an electrode wire 8 . One end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the circuit board 4 , and the other end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the electrode base 103 .

[0079] The electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 are connected by the electrode wire 8, so that the human body vital sign information collected by the electrode body 1 can be transmitted to the controller on the circuit board 4 in real time and stably. Of course, the connection between the electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 can be through the electrode wire 8 or through a wireless device, as long as the connection between the electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 can be achieved, and there is no limitation here.

[0080] In one example, the housing includes a shielding cover body 2 and a shielding cover base 3. The shielding cover base 3 is disposed on a circuit board 4. The shielding cover body 2 is snapped onto the shielding cover base 3. A first gap 13 is formed between the shielding cover base 3 and the shielding cover body 2. A slide groove 9 is provided on the shielding cover body 2. The electrode base 103 is disposed in the first gap 13. The constricted portion is located in the slide groove 9.

[0081] For example, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the housing includes a shield cover 2 and a shield base 3. The shield base 3 is disposed on a circuit board 4. The shield base 3 can be welded to the circuit board 4, or it can be riveted or bonded to the circuit board 4, as long as the shield base 3 can be fixed to the circuit board 4.

[0082] The shield cover body 2 is buckled on the shield cover base 3. A first gap 13 is formed between the shield cover body 2 and the shield cover base 3. Figure 7-Figure 7a As shown, a slide groove 9 is provided on the shield cover 2. The electrode base 103 is disposed within a first gap 13. The constricted portion is located within the slide groove 9. The electrode body 1 can slide along the slide groove 9 to a predetermined position within the first gap 13. The first gap 13 formed between the shield cover 2 and the shield cover base 3 can limit the electrode body 1, allowing the electrode body 1 to slide along the slide groove 9 within the first gap 13.

[0083] The electrode body 1 can be wirelessly connected to the controller. The shield cover 2 and shield base 3 provide dual shielding for other components on the circuit board 4. Furthermore, the first gap 13 can limit the position of the electrode body 1, allowing it to slide to the appropriate position according to the user's needs, thereby collecting human vital signs information.

[0084] In one example, a second gap 14 is formed between the shielding cover base 3 and the circuit board 4. A slideway 10 is provided on the shielding cover base 3. The electrode device also includes an electrode wire 8. One end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the circuit board 4. The other end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the electrode base 103. The electrode wire 8 can slide along the slideway 10.

[0085] For example, a second gap 14 is formed between the shielding cover base 3 and the circuit board 4. A slide 10 is provided on the shielding cover base 3. The slide 10 provided on the shielding cover base 3 corresponds to the slide groove 9 provided on the shielding cover body 2. Figure 8-Figure 8a As shown, the electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 are connected using an electrode wire 8. One end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the electrode base 103. The other end of the electrode wire 8 is connected to the circuit board 4. When the electrode body 1 slides along the slide groove 9 in the first gap 13, the electrode wire 8 slides along the slideway 10 in the second gap 14.

[0086] The electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 are connected by the electrode wire 8, so that the human body vital signs information collected by the electrode sensing head 101 of the electrode body 1 can be transmitted to the controller in real time and stably, and then accurately collected and processed. By providing a slide 10 on the bottom of the shielding cover, the slide 10 corresponds to the slide 10 on the shielding cover body 2, so that the electrode wire 8 can slide along the slide 10 when the motor body slides along the slide groove 9. This avoids the accumulation of the electrode wire 8 inside the shell, which causes the electrode wire 8 to break, thereby affecting the normal operation of the electrode body 1.

[0087] In one example, the electrode device further includes a protective film 5 and a first limiting assembly 6. The protective film 5 is elastic. A first slit 11 is provided on the protective film 5. The first limiting assembly 6 is made of an elastic material. The first limiting assembly 6 is disposed outside the housing. A second slit 12 is provided on the first limiting assembly 6. At least a portion of the electrode body 1 is located within the second slit 12. The electrode body 1 is exposed to the first limiting assembly 6. Both the first slit 11 and the second slit 12 correspond to the position of the chute 9.

[0088] For example, Figure 6 As shown, a protective film 5 is provided on the housing. The protective film 5 is elastic. The protective film 5 is provided on the outside of the housing to cover the chute 9 on the housing. The provision of the protective film 5 on the outside of the housing prevents liquid rubber from entering the housing through the chute 9 or other gaps on the housing, thereby affecting the normal operation of the electrode body 1.

[0089] like Figure 9-Figure 9a As shown, the protective film 5 is provided with a first slit 11 corresponding to the chute 9. The circuit board 4, the housing, and the electrode body 1 constitute a circuit board assembly. The protective film 5 is provided on the outside of the housing. Specifically, during injection molding of the circuit board assembly with the protective film 5, the protective film 5 prevents liquid glue from entering the housing through the chute 9 or other gaps in the housing, thereby affecting the normal operation of the electrode body 1. After the circuit board assembly is injection molded, a dedicated tool is used to cut the first slit 11 corresponding to the chute 9 into the protective film 5.

[0090] The electrode assembly further includes a first limiting assembly 6. The first limiting assembly 6 is made of an elastic material and is disposed outside the housing. A second gap 12 is provided on the first limiting assembly 6, corresponding to the position of the chute 9. At least a portion of the electrode body 1 is positioned within the second gap 12. The electrode body 1 is exposed to the first limiting assembly 6.

[0091] For example, Figure 10-10b As shown, a first limiting component 6 is provided on the outer side of the housing. The first limiting component 6 is made of elastic material. A second gap 12 corresponding to the position of the chute 9 is provided on the first limiting component 6.

[0092] The circuit board 4, housing, and electrode body 1 constitute the circuit board 4 assembly. A protective film 5 is provided on the outside of the housing, and a first stopper 6 is provided on the outside of the protective film 5. The first stopper 6 can be formed by a single shot molding process. After the circuit board 4 assembly is formed by the single shot molding process, a dedicated tool is used to create a second gap 12 in the first stopper 6 corresponding to the slide groove 9.

[0093] The first gap 11 and the second gap 12 both correspond to the positions of the sliding groove 9 .

[0094] Optionally, the first slit 11 and the second slit 12 can be cut out simultaneously using a dedicated tool; or

[0095] First, a first slit 11 is cut on the protective film 5 , and then a second slit is cut on the first limiting component 6 .

[0096] It should be noted that no matter whether the slits are drawn at the same time or one after another, the first slit 11 and the second slit 12 are corresponding to the position of the slide groove 9. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the order of drawing the first slit 11 and the second slit 12, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0097] Since the first limiting component 6 and the protective film 5 are both made of elastic materials, and the second gap 12 on the first limiting component 6 and the first gap 11 on the protective film 5 correspond to the position of the slide groove 9, the necking section 102 of the electrode body 1 can be fixed in the first gap 11 and the second gap 12 while the remaining parts of the first gap 11 and the second gap 12 can still maintain a closed state, preventing pollutants from entering the shell through the first gap 11 and the second gap 12. In addition, the first gap 11 and the second gap 12 can play a second limiting role for the electrode body 1 in addition to the first limiting role of the slide groove 9, thereby enabling the electrode body 1 to be stable in a predetermined position to collect data.

[0098] At least part of the electrode body 1 is located in the second gap 12. The electrode body 1 is exposed to the first limiting component 6. The first limiting component 6 is an elastic element. The second gap 12 provided on the first limiting component 6 is usually in a closed state. Under the condition that the electrode body 1 slides to a predetermined position in the slide groove 9, the bottleneck section of the electrode body 1 is arranged around the necking section by the first limiting component 6 at a predetermined position and fixes the electrode body 1 at a predetermined position. By arranging the first limiting component 6 on the outside of the shell, in addition to the limiting of the shell, the electrode body 1 can also play a secondary limiting role. The joint limiting of the shell and the first limiting component 6 can enable the electrode body 1 to move to any predetermined position, thereby realizing the accurate collection of human vital signs information.

[0099] In addition, the first limiting component 6 also increases the contact stability of the electrode body 1, thereby enabling the electrode body 1 to accurately and stably collect human vital signs information.

[0100] In one example, the electrode device further includes a second limiting assembly 7. The second limiting assembly 7 is made of an elastic material. The first limiting assembly 6 is disposed on the second limiting assembly 7. The first limiting assembly 6 and the second limiting assembly 7 form a cavity. The circuit board 4 and the housing are located in the cavity.

[0101] For example, the electrode device further includes a second limiting assembly 7. The first limiting assembly 6 is disposed on the second limiting assembly 7. The first limiting assembly 6 and the second limiting assembly 7 enclose a cavity. The circuit board 4 and the housing are located within the cavity. The second limiting assembly 7 and the first limiting assembly 6 together enclose the cavity, allowing the circuit board 4 and the housing within the cavity to be completely sealed within the cavity, thereby preventing damage to the circuit board 4 and the housing within the cavity and ensuring the normal operation of the electrode device.

[0102] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a wearable device is provided. The wearable device includes a device body and the aforementioned electrode device. The electrode device is disposed on the device body.

[0103] For example, the wearable device can be a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a smart headband, etc., which are not limited here. Take a smart watch as an example. An electrode device is provided on the strap of the smart watch. The electrode sensing head 101 of the electrode body 1 is in contact with the human skin and is used to collect human vital signs information. The other end of the electrode body 1 is connected to the controller inside the smart watch. The electrode device is used to collect human vital signs information and transmit it to the controller for processing. The smart watch displays the human vital signs information on the watch body. For example, human body temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen, etc. Since the electrode body 1 can slide in the slide groove 9, the user can adjust the position of the electrode body 1 to achieve the collection position actually required by the user, thereby being able to accurately and flexibly collect human vital signs information.

[0104] In one example, there are multiple electrode devices, and the multiple electrode devices are arranged at different positions on the device body.

[0105] Multiple electrodes are positioned at different locations on the device, enabling them to detect vital signs at different locations on the body. Users can adjust the specific positions of the electrodes to meet specific application scenarios, creating a variety of combinations to capture vital signs.

[0106] Multiple electrode devices are set at different positions of the device body to improve the applicability of the wearable device, so that the wearable device can meet the user's needs in more usage positions, which is conducive to accurately and conveniently detecting various vital signs of the human body and improving the user experience.

[0107] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for manufacturing an electrode device as described above is provided. The method comprises: providing a chute 9 of a predetermined shape on a housing. Connecting an electrode body 1 to a circuit board 4. Installing the electrode body 1 into the chute 9. One end of the electrode body 1 protrudes from the surface of the housing. The other end of the electrode body 1 is located within the housing. One end of the electrode body 1 can slide along the chute 9 and can stabilize at a predetermined position in the chute 9.

[0108] A chute 9 of a predetermined shape is provided on the housing. The chute 9 is used to place the electrode body 1 and enables the electrode body 1 to slide along the predetermined shape of the chute 9 .

[0109] The method of opening the chute 9 can be manual cutting with a tool, cutting with a digital cutting machine, or laser grooving, etc., which is not limited here, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0110] The predetermined shape of the chute 9 can be a cross shape, a straight shape, a Y shape, etc. The predetermined shape of the chute 9 can be set according to the actual needs of the user and is not limited here.

[0111] Connect the electrode body 1 to the circuit board 4. The electrode body 1 can be connected to the circuit board 4 through the electrode wire 8 or through a wireless device. As long as the connection between the electrode body 1 and the circuit board 4 can be achieved, there is no limitation here.

[0112] Install the electrode body 1 into the slide groove 9. Make one end of the electrode body 1 protrude from the surface of the shell. And the other end of the electrode body 1 is located inside the shell. Install the electrode body 1 connected to the circuit board 4 into the slide groove 9 again, and make one end of the electrode body 1 (i.e., the electrode sensing head 101) protrude from the surface of the shell, so that this end of the electrode sensing head 101 can be in close contact with the human skin, and thus can accurately measure various vital signs information of the human body. The other end of the electrode body 1 is located inside the shell. The shell and the circuit board 4 are connected to form a receiving cavity, and the other end of the electrode body 1 is located in the receiving cavity.

[0113] Among them, one end of the electrode body 1 can slide along the chute 9 and can be stabilized at a predetermined position in the chute 9. One end of the electrode body 1 (i.e., the necked section 102 of the electrode body 1) can slide along the chute 9 and can be stabilized at a predetermined position in the chute 9, so that the user can collect data at the predetermined position, and ultimately obtain accurate collection data, realizing real-time monitoring of human vital signs information.

[0114] In one example, the electrode device includes: a first limiting component 6 and a second limiting component 7. The first limiting component 6 is disposed on the second limiting component 7. The first limiting component 6 and the second limiting component 7 form a cavity. One end of the electrode body 1 protrudes from the first limiting component 6.

[0115] The method includes: forming a first stopper assembly 6 outside the housing using a single shot molding process. Forming a second stopper assembly 7 outside the circuit board using a second shot molding process. The first stopper assembly 6 and the second stopper assembly 7 are then joined together. A second gap 12 is formed in the first stopper assembly 6. The second gap 12 corresponds to the position of the slide slot 9.

[0116] For example, the second stopper assembly 7 is produced through two-shot molding. The first stopper assembly 6, which is molded in one shot, and the second stopper assembly 7, which is molded in two shots, are fused together at the joint. The same materials can dissolve together to form a sealed cavity. The two-shot molding process is simple, suitable for mass production, and reduces production costs.

[0117] Of course, the circuit board assembly consisting of the circuit board 4, the shell and the electrode body 1 can also be sealed by other methods. As long as sealing can be achieved, the sealing method is not limited here.

[0118] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
