[0060] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0063] In addition, the terms "first," "second," and so on, used in this disclosure are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features.

[0064] Moreover, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 5 According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a smart ring, including a functional area and a non-functional area, the functional area including a circuit board 4, one end 101 of the non-functional area is connected to the functional area, and the other end 102 of the non-functional area is a free end. The non-functional area is composed of a deformable part so that the non-functional area can be deformed from the other end 102 to open or close the smart ring.

[0066] It should be noted that, unlike traditional rings, smart rings are capable of electronic functions. The functional area includes a circuit board 4. For ease of bending, circuit board 4 can be a flexible circuit board. Electronic components with different functions, including electrodes 13, a motor, a battery, and an on / off switch 9, can be mounted on the flexible circuit board to implement these functions. This embodiment divides the smart ring into two parts: a non-functional area and a functional area. These two areas can combine to form a ring-shaped ring, making it easy to wear on a finger. The non-functional area is constructed from a deformable member. One end 101, where the non-functional area connects to the functional area, is fixed, while the other end 102 is free. This other end 102 can be driven to deform the non-functional area, thereby opening and closing the smart ring. When the smart ring is closed, it corresponds to being worn on a person's hand; when it is opened, it corresponds to being removed. This embodiment uses deformation of the non-functional area to open and close the smart ring, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. It is also simple to manufacture and suitable for mass production.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the smart ring further includes an inner soft rubber layer 5 and an outer soft rubber layer 6. The inner soft rubber layer 5 wraps the functional area, and the outer soft rubber layer 6 wraps the non-functional area. The inner soft rubber layer 5 includes a first tail end 51, and the outer soft rubber layer 6 includes a second tail end 61. The first tail end 51 and the second tail end 61 are fitted together. In order to ensure comfortable wearing and avoid harming the user, the soft rubber layer can be provided to protect and enhance the user's comfort, while also protecting the electronic components in the functional area. In addition, in order to ensure that the setting of the soft rubber layer does not affect the separation of the functional area and the non-functional area, the soft rubber layer is provided to include a detachable inner soft rubber layer 5 and an outer soft rubber layer 6. The first tail end 51 of the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the second tail end 61 of the outer soft rubber layer 6 are fitted together for easy separation. At the same time, the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 make the shape of the smart ring annular, which is convenient to wear and conforms to the shape design of traditional rings. Specifically, the first tail end 51 and the second tail end 61 can be arranged along Figure 1 Separated on the dividing line A shown in FIG.

[0068] Reference Figure 19 and Figure 21In one embodiment, a first magnetic component 7 is provided in the first tail end 51, and a second magnetic component 8 that magnetically cooperates with the first magnetic component 7 is provided in the second tail end 61. To ensure that the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 cooperate closely and will not fall off automatically during use. A first magnetic component 7 can be provided in the first tail end 51, and a second magnetic component 8 can be provided in the second tail end 61. In this way, when the smart ring needs to be closed for use, the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 are tightly connected together through the magnetic force of the first magnetic component 7 and the second magnetic component 8. When the smart ring needs to be opened, the second tail end 61 can be pulled up to overcome the magnetic force of the first magnetic component 7 and the second magnetic component 8 to open it. It should be noted that, referring to Figure 8 In the actual manufacturing process, the first magnetic component 7 can be set on the circuit board 4, and the second magnetic component 8 is attached to the first magnetic component 7. Then, through glue injection, the inner soft rubber layer 5 wraps the first magnetic component 7, and the outer soft rubber layer 6 wraps the second magnetic component 8. The arrangement of the first magnetic component 7 and the second magnetic component 8 can ensure a tight connection between the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6, and facilitate the opening of the smart ring.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the second end 61 is partially recessed inward to form a finger-grip position 62. To facilitate opening the smart ring, a groove, namely the finger-grip position 62, can be formed on the second end 61. A finger can reach into the groove and pull up the second end 61, facilitating the separation of the outer soft rubber layer 6 and the inner soft rubber layer 5. The inner and outer soft rubber layers 5 and 6 are separated, and the functional area and non-functional area are separated at the same time. Of course, the finger-grip position 62 can also be a protrusion formed on the second end 61, and a finger can pinch the protrusion to pull up the second end 61.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 When the smart ring is in the open state, the opening direction of the functional area is opposite to the opening direction of the non-functional area, and the functional area and the non-functional area are connected in an S shape. Figure 2 When the smart ring needs to be opened and removed, first, the second end 61 of the outer soft rubber layer 6 is buckled at the buckle position 62. During this process, the attraction force of a pair of fixed magnets must be overcome. When the second end 61 of the outer soft rubber layer 6 is continued to be pulled and opened to a larger angle, the deformable part inside the outer soft rubber layer 6 is rapidly transformed from the left arc to the right arc. At the same time, the outer soft rubber layer 6 wrapped around the deformable part also performs a synchronous reverse motion. At this time, the smart ring is completely open and can be easily removed. When it needs to be closed, it is only necessary to push the second end 61 of the outer soft rubber layer 6 in the opposite direction of opening. Finally, a pair of fixed magnets will be attracted to ensure a secure connection. The fixed magnets mentioned above are the first magnetic element 7 and the second magnetic element 8.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 9 to 11In one embodiment, the deformable member is made of a deformable material, or the non-functional area includes a deformable plate 1, one end 101 of the deformable plate 1 is connected to the functional area, the other end 102 of the deformable plate 1 is a free end, and the deformable plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate. The deformable member can be made of a deformable material, and after the deformation is completed, the deformable material can be restored to its original state under the action of an external force. (It should be noted that the one end and the other end of the deformable plate mentioned here are the one end and the other end of the non-functional area mentioned above). Of course, the non-functional area can be an arc-shaped deformable plate 1, one end 101 of the deformable plate 1 is connected to the functional area, and the other end 102 is a free end, which can achieve reverse deformation. Specifically, in order to facilitate deformation, the deformable plate 1 can be set to a flat shape, which can achieve reverse deformation. The deformable plate 1 is made of a material that can be deformed and can be driven to restore its shape by an external force, and can be a metal material, such as copper or stainless steel.

[0072] Reference Figures 6 to 14 In one embodiment, the functional area further includes an inner fixing plate 2 and an outer fixing plate 3 mounted on the inner fixing plate 2. The inner fixing plate 2 and the outer fixing plate 3 are disposed on the inner and outer sides of the circuit board 4, respectively. The inner fixing plate 2 is provided with a mounting position 22, and the non-functional area is connected to the mounting position 22. The mounting position 22 is provided with a connecting post 221. The non-functional area is formed with a mounting hole 10, and the outer fixing plate 3 is formed with a fixing hole 31. The non-functional area and the outer fixing plate 3 are sequentially mounted on the connecting post 221 through the mounting hole 10 and the fixing hole 31, respectively.

[0073] It can be understood that the non-functional area can be a deformable plate 1, the mounting position 22 is set at one end of the inner fixing plate 2, the number of connecting columns 221 can be multiple, such as four arranged in a rectangular shape, and the non-functional area (i.e., the deformable plate 1) is correspondingly formed with the same number of mounting holes 10. First, the mounting holes 10 are put on the connecting columns 221 to match the inner fixing plate 2 and the deformable plate 1 to fix one end 101 of the deformable plate 1, and then the fixing holes 31 of the outer fixing plate 3 are put on the connecting columns 221 to fix the outer fixing plate 3. In this way, one end 101 of the deformable plate 1 is also set between the inner fixing plate 2 and the outer fixing plate 3, which can prevent the deformable plate 1 from falling.

[0074] In one embodiment, an electrode 13 is disposed on the inner side of the circuit board 4, and a through-hole 21 is provided in the inner fixing plate 2. The electrode 13 passes through the through-hole 21 and is at least partially exposed to the inner soft rubber layer 5. Because the electrode 13 on the circuit board 4 needs to come into contact with a human hand, the through-hole 21 is provided in the inner fixing plate 2. The electrode 13 passes through the through-hole 21 and partially extends out of the through-hole 21. It should be noted that when the inner soft rubber layer 5 is provided, the electrode 13 will also partially extend out of the inner soft rubber layer 5.

[0075] Reference Figures 15 and 16In one embodiment, a switch key 9 is disposed on the outside of the circuit board 4. The switch key 9 is exposed to the outer fixing plate 3 and is covered by an inner soft rubber layer 5 and / or an outer soft rubber layer 6. The switch key 9 is triggered by pressing the inner soft rubber layer 5 and / or the outer soft rubber layer 6. A soft rubber layer is disposed on the top of the switch key 9. Depending on the position of the switch key 9, the top of the switch key 9 can be provided with only the inner soft rubber layer 5, only the outer soft rubber layer 6, or both the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6. As long as pressure can be transmitted to the switch key 9 by pressing the soft rubber layer, it is sufficient. For easier observation, the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 can both be transparent layers, specifically made of silicone.

[0076] In one embodiment, support holes 23 are formed on the inner fixing plate 2 and the inner soft rubber layer 5. The support holes 23 are mainly used to facilitate the insertion of the second magnetic member 113 of the male mold 11 into the support holes 23 for fixation during the manufacturing process. This will be discussed in detail later.

[0077] Reference Figures 17 to 22 , Figure 22 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for making a smart ring according to the present invention. The smart ring includes a functional area, a non-functional area, an inner soft rubber layer 5, and an outer soft rubber layer 6. The functional area includes a circuit board 4 and an inner fixing plate 2 and an outer fixing plate 3 respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the circuit board. The non-functional area is composed of a deformable part. The inner soft rubber layer 5 wraps the functional area, and the outer soft rubber layer 6 wraps the non-functional area. The method for making a smart ring includes the following steps:

[0078] S10, mounting the circuit board 4 on the inner fixing plate 2; wherein the electrodes 13 on the inner side of the circuit board 4 pass through the mounting holes 10 of the inner fixing plate 2;

[0079] It should be noted that the smart ring is different from the traditional ring and is a ring that can realize electronic functions. The smart ring includes a functional area and a non-functional area. The functional area includes a circuit board 4. One end 101 of the non-functional area is connected to the functional area, and the other end 102 of the non-functional area is a free end. The non-functional area is made of deformable material so that the non-functional area can be deformed from the other end 102 to open or close the smart ring. The non-functional area can be a deformable plate 1, and the functional area includes an upper fixed plate, a lower fixed plate, and a circuit board 4 arranged between the upper fixed plate and the lower fixed plate. The circuit board 4 can be a flexible circuit board 4. Electronic components with different functions can be arranged on the flexible circuit board 4, including electrodes 13, motors, batteries, switch keys 9, etc. to realize electronic functions. The electrode 13 needs to be in contact with a person's finger to collect signals, so the electrode 13 needs to be extended out of the inner fixed plate 2; glue can also be used to bond the circuit board 4 and the fixed plate to play an auxiliary fixation role;

[0080] S20, installing one end 101 of the deformable member on the mounting position 22 of the inner fixing plate 2, with the other end 102 of the deformable member being a free end;

[0081] Specifically, the deformable member is made of a deformable material, or the non-functional area includes a deformable plate 1. One end 101 of the deformable plate 1 is connected to the functional area, and the other end 102 of the deformable plate 1 is a free end. The deformable plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate. The end 101 connecting the deformable plate 1 to the inner fixing plate 2 is the fixed end, and the other end 102 of the deformable plate 1 is the free end. The other end 102 can be driven to move, causing the deformable plate 1 to deform, thereby opening or closing the smart ring. When the smart ring is closed, the corresponding usage state is to wear it on a person's hand; when the smart ring is opened, the corresponding usage state is to remove the smart ring, thereby achieving quick disassembly and wearing of the smart ring. Specifically, a connecting post 221 can be provided on the inner fixing plate 2, and a mounting hole 10 can be formed on the deformable plate 1. The deformable plate 1 is mounted on the inner fixing plate 2 through the connection between the mounting hole 10 and the connecting post 221.

[0082] S30, installing the outer fixing plate 3 on the mounting position 22 of the inner fixing plate 2 to form a fixing plate assembly;

[0083] A fixing hole 31 is formed on the outer fixing plate 3, and the outer fixing plate 3 can be installed on the inner fixing plate 2 using the connecting column 221 on the inner fixing plate 2. This not only reduces the number of connecting columns 221, but also allows one end 101 of the deformable plate 1 to be fixed to the connecting column 221 through the inner fixing plate 2 and the outer fixing plate 3 to prevent the deformable plate 1 from falling.

[0084] S40, placing the fixing plate assembly on the male mold 11, and fitting the male mold 11 and the female mold 12;

[0085] The main body of the male mold 11 is a circular plate 111, which is placed in the fixed plate assembly, specifically spaced apart from the deforming plate 1 and the inner fixed plate 2. The female mold 12 is an annular part, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed plate assembly. A gap is formed between the male mold 11 and the inner fixed assembly, and between the female mold 12 and the outer fixed plate 3. The gap is used to set the soft rubber layer (including the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6).

[0086] S50 , injecting glue to form an outer soft adhesive layer 6 wrapping the deformable plate 1 , and an inner soft adhesive layer 5 wrapping the outer fixing plate 3 , the circuit board 4 and the inner fixing plate 2 .

[0087] The glue can be silicone. The glue is injected into the gap and, after cooling, forms an inner soft rubber layer 5 and an outer soft rubber layer 6. The separation of the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 is achieved by the structural design of the male mold 11 and the female mold 12. When worn on a person's hand, the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 can be adhered together. When disassembly is required, the inner soft rubber layer 5 and the outer soft rubber layer 6 can be separated as the deformable plate 1 deforms.

[0088] In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, end 101 connecting the deformable plate 1 to the inner fixed plate 2 is a fixed end, while the other end 102 of the deformable plate 1 is a free end. By driving the other end 102 to move, the deformable plate 1 is deformed, thereby opening or closing the smart ring. When the smart ring is closed, it is worn on the hand; when it is opened, it is removed. This allows for quick disassembly and wearing of the smart ring, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the smart ring and simplifying its manufacture, making it suitable for mass production. The provision of an inner soft rubber layer 5 and an outer soft rubber layer 6 ensures comfortable wearing and prevents injury to the user.
