Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a wearable electronic device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of communication technology, wearable electronic devices such as smartphones and smart watches are becoming increasingly popular. When using smart watches, it is often necessary to measure human heart rate, blood pressure and other data through photoplethysmography (PPG) equipment.
[0003] However, the bottom of the smart watch in the related art often cannot fully fit the human arm, resulting in inaccurate detection of the PPG device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present application provides a wearable electronic device that can fit well with the human arm, and the PPG device can detect more accurately.
[0005] The present application provides a wearable electronic device, comprising:
[0006] case;
[0007] a wearable portion connected to the shell, the wearable portion being used to connect the shell to an external object;
[0008] a detection assembly, comprising a carrying plate and a detection member, wherein the carrying plate is connected to the housing, and the detection member is disposed on the carrying plate and is used to detect physiological data of the external object; and
[0009] An adjustment component is connected to the housing, and is used to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate so that the angle between the detection member and the external object is within a preset angle range.
[0010] The wearable electronic device of the present application includes a housing, a wearable portion, a detection component, and an adjustment component. When the wearable electronic device connects the housing to an external object through the wearable portion, the adjustment component can adjust the inclination of the support plate of the detection component so that the support plate can be roughly parallel to the external object. The support plate is not easy to tilt relative to the external object, and the detection member arranged on the support plate is also not easy to tilt relative to the external object. The support plate and the detection member can fit well with the external object. Thus, the wearable electronic device of the embodiment of the present application can avoid the problem that the support plate and the detection member tilt relative to the external object, causing the angle between the detection member and the external object to exceed the preset angle range, resulting in inaccurate detection results of the detection member. The angle between the detection member that is not easy to tilt relative to the external object and the external object of the present application can be within the preset angle range, and the detection member can better detect the physiological data of the external object. Moreover, when the detection member is a PPG device, the force exerted by the external object on the PPG device that is not easy to tilt relative to the external object is more balanced, and the physiological data detected by the PPG device is more accurate.

[0026] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present application Figures 1 to 14 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the wearable electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application from another perspective. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a connection between the detection component 30 and the adjustment component 40 is shown. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The structure diagram of the detection component 30 and the adjustment component 40 from another perspective is shown.
[0028] The wearable electronic device 100 may be, but is not limited to, an electronic device such as a wristband, a smart watch, a wireless headset, etc. The wearable electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is described by taking a smart watch as an example.
[0029] The wearable electronic device 100 may include a housing 10, a wearable portion 20, a detection component 30, and an adjustment component 40. The wearable portion 20 may be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 10, and the wearable portion 20 may allow the housing 10 to be in contact with an external object 200 (e.g., Figure 5 The detection assembly 30 includes a carrier plate 31 and a detection member 32. The carrier plate 31 can be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 10. The detection member 32 can be disposed on the carrier plate 31 and can detect physiological data of the external object 200. The adjustment assembly 40 can be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 10 and can adjust the inclination of the carrier plate 31 so that the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 is within a preset angle range.
[0030] The housing 10 may form the main body of the wearable electronic device 100 and may house some of the electronic components of the wearable electronic device 100. If the wearable electronic device 100 is a smartwatch, the housing 10 may serve as the dial of the wearable electronic device 100. The housing 10 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, resulting in a square dial for the wearable electronic device 100; a cylindrical body, resulting in a round dial for the wearable electronic device 100; or an irregular polyhedron, resulting in an irregular dial for the wearable electronic device 100. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific shape of the housing 10.
[0031] The wearable portion 20 can be connected to the two ends of the shell 10. The wearable portion 20 can connect the wearable electronic device 100 to an external object 200, wherein the external object 200 can be a user's wrist, ankle or neck, etc., of course, it can also be some other parts where the wearable electronic device 100 can be worn. The wearable portion 20 can be rotatably connected to the two ends of the shell 10 through a rotating shaft, and the wearable portion 20 can also be fixedly connected to the two ends of the shell 10 through integral molding. The material of the wearable portion 20 can be metal, or it can be non-metal such as plastic, nylon, etc. The material of the wearable portion 20 can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
[0032] The supporting plate 31 of the detection assembly 30 can serve as both the supporting body for the detection element 32 and the bottom shell of the wearable electronic device 100. The supporting plate 31 can be, but is not limited to, a single piece of ceramic, glass, or plastic. The supporting plate 31 can also be, but is not limited to, a structure formed by multiple materials such as ceramic, glass, or plastic. The supporting plate 31 can have a certain rigidity and ensure that the shape of the supporting plate 31 is fixed. When the wearable device is connected to the external object 200, the supporting plate 31 can contact the external object 200.
[0033] The detection element 32 can be, but is not limited to, a detection module for detecting a user's biometric characteristics. The detection element 32 can be disposed in the space formed by the carrier plate 31 and the housing 10. The detection element 32 can detect physiological data of the external object 200 within the wearable electronic device 100 through optical signals, acoustic signals, and the like. Of course, the detection element 32 can also be disposed on the outer surface of the carrier plate 31. When the wearable device is connected to the external object 200, the detection element 32 can directly contact the external object 200 and detect the physiological data of the external object 200. It is understood that the physiological data can include, but is not limited to, characteristic data such as the temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen content of the external object 200.
[0034] The adjustment component 40 can be arranged in the space formed by the supporting plate 31 and the shell 10. The adjustment component 40 can be directly or indirectly connected to the supporting plate 31. The adjustment component 40 can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 by, but is not limited to, mechanical power, elastic force, or other contact forces. Of course, the adjustment component 40 can also be not connected to the supporting plate 31. In this case, the adjustment component 40 can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 by, but is not limited to, electromagnetic force, gravitational force, or other field forces. It can be understood that the inclination of the supporting plate 31 can refer to the inclination of the side of the supporting plate 31 that contacts the external object 200 (i.e., the outer surface of the supporting plate 31). The inclination can be the angle between the outer surface of the supporting plate 31 and a reference object. The reference object can be, but is not limited to, the ground.
[0035] The solution of the embodiment of the present application is described using an application scenario in which the wearable electronic device 100 is connected to an external object 200 and the wearable electronic device 100 and the external object 200 are approximately perpendicular to the ground.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 when the carrier plate 31 is in the first state. Figure 6 for Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of another perspective of the wearable electronic device 100. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the supporting plate 31 may be in a first state and the outer surface of the supporting plate 31 may be perpendicular to the ground. In this case, the inclination of the supporting plate 31 relative to the ground may be 90 degrees.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 2 The structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 when the supporting plate 31 is in the second state is shown. Figure 8 for Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of another perspective of the wearable electronic device 100. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the supporting plate 31 can be in a second form and the outer surface of the supporting plate 31 is not perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the outer surface of the supporting plate 31 can form a certain angle with the ground. The outer surface of the supporting plate 31 can be an inclined slope. The inclination of the supporting plate 31 compared to the ground can be greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.
[0038] It is understandable that due to the differences between different users and the differences between different parts of the same user, when the wearable electronic device 100 is worn on the human body (especially when the wearing position of the wearable electronic device 100 is close to the protruding part of the ulna stem), the supporting plate 31 of the wearable electronic device 100 may not always be able to completely fit with the external object 200 such as the wrist and arm of the human body. One end of the supporting plate 31 can easily have a gap with the wearing part, causing the supporting plate 31 to tilt and fail to completely fit the skin. The tilted state of the supporting plate 31 will not only increase the distance between the detection part 32 and the human body, but also cause air to be between the detection part 32 and the human body, and also change the pressure between the detection part 32 and the human body. Therefore, the tilted state of the supporting plate 31 will cause the detection of the physiological data of the human body by the detection part 32 to be inaccurate. The adjustment assembly 40 of the embodiment of the present application can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 so that the supporting plate 31 is adapted to the external object 200 and the angle between the detection member 32 disposed on the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200 is within a preset angle range, so that the detection member 32 can better detect the physiological data of the external object 200. It is understood that the preset angle range can be set according to the specific function of the detection member 32, and the detection member 32 within the preset angle range can have better detection performance. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the preset angle range.
[0039] Based on this, in the above Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, when the wearable electronic device 100 is worn on a relatively flat part of the user, the surface of the external object 200 in contact with the supporting plate 31 (such as the outer surface of the user's wrist) can be approximately perpendicular to the ground. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The embodiment shown is used to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and make the inclination of the supporting plate 31 approximately 90 degrees compared to the ground. The supporting plate 31 can be approximately parallel to the external object 200, and the detection member 32 arranged on the supporting plate 31 can also be parallel to the external object 200. The angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 can be 0 degrees. The detection member 32 can better detect the physiological data of the external object 200.
[0040] In the above Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, when the wearable electronic device 100 is worn on an uneven part of the user and the lower side of the contact surface of the external object 200 with the supporting plate 31 is relatively protruding, causing the upper side of the supporting plate 31 to tilt. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The embodiment shown is used to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 relative to the ground. The supporting plate 31 can form an inclined structure with a more prominent upper side. After adjusting the inclination, the supporting plate 31 can be roughly parallel to the external object 200, and the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 can also be 0 degrees. The detection member 32 can better detect the physiological data of the external object 200.
[0041] Of course, when the wearable electronic device 100 is worn on an uneven part of the user and the upper side of the external object 200 in contact with the supporting plate 31 is more protruding so that the lower side of the supporting plate 31 is tilted, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 for Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 when the supporting plate 31 is in the third state. Figure 10 for Figure 9 The structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 from another perspective is shown, and the adjustment component 40 can be as follows Figure 9 and Figure 10 The embodiment shown is used to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 relative to the ground. The supporting plate 31 can form an inclined structure with a more protruding lower side. After adjusting the inclination, the supporting plate 31 can be roughly parallel to the external object 200, and the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 can also be 0 degrees. The detection member 32 can better detect the physiological data of the external object 200.
[0042] Based on the above description, the wearable electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a shell 10, a wearable part 20, a detection component 30 and an adjustment component 40. When the wearable electronic device 100 connects the shell 10 to the external object 200 through the wearable part 20, the adjustment component 40 can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 of the detection component 30 so that the supporting plate 31 can be roughly parallel to the external object 200. The supporting plate 31 is not easy to tilt compared to the external object 200, and the detection component 32 arranged on the supporting plate 31 is also not easy to tilt compared to the external object 200. The supporting plate 31 and the detection component 32 can fit well with the external object 200. Thus, the wearable electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application can avoid the problem of the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 exceeding the preset angle range due to the support plate 31 and the detection member 32 tilting relative to the external object 200, resulting in inaccurate detection results from the detection member 32. The angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200, which is not easily tilted relative to the external object 200, can be within the preset angle range, and the detection member 32 can better detect the physiological data of the external object 200. Moreover, when the detection member 32 is a PPG device, the force exerted on the PPG device by the external object 200 is more balanced, and the physiological data detected by the PPG device is more accurate.
[0043] Please refer again to Figure 1 The wearable electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application may further include a display screen 50. The display screen 50 may be mounted on the housing 10 to form a display surface of the wearable electronic device 100, for displaying information such as images and text on the wearable electronic device 100, or for displaying images and text and for user interaction. For example, the user may perform touch operations on the wearable electronic device 100 through the display screen 50. The display screen 50 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display.
[0044] It is understandable that the display screen 50 may include a display area and a non-display area. The display area performs the display function of the display screen 50 and is used for the wearable electronic device 100 to display information such as images and texts, while the non-display area does not display information and is used to set functional components such as cameras and touch electrodes of the display screen 50. The display screen 50 can also be a full screen. In this case, the display screen 50 can display information in full screen, so that the wearable electronic device 100 has a larger screen-to-body ratio. The display screen 50 only includes a display area, but does not include a non-display area, or the area of the non-display area is smaller for the user. In this case, functional components such as cameras and proximity sensors in the wearable electronic device 100 can be hidden under the display screen 50.
[0045] It is understood that, in addition to using the ground as a reference for adjusting the inclination of the supporting plate 31, the wearable electronic device 100 may also use the display screen 50 (e.g., the display surface of the display screen 50) as a reference for adjusting the inclination of the supporting plate 31. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inclination of the supporting plate 31 relative to the display screen 50 is 0 degrees, and the supporting plate 31 can be substantially parallel to the display screen 50; Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the angle of inclination of the supporting plate 31 relative to the display screen 50 is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees, and the supporting plate 31 can intersect with the display screen 50. It should be noted that after the reference object in the aforementioned embodiment is replaced with the display screen 50, the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 can also be adaptively changed, which will not be detailed here.
[0046] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 Please also refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 for Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 when the supporting plate 31 is in the fourth state. Figure 12 for Figure 11 The adjustment component 40 can also drive the support plate 31 to move and adjust the distance between the support plate 31 and the external object 200 so that the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 is within a preset distance range.
[0047] Due to factors such as different wearing habits of different users, different arm sizes of different users, and different optimal detection path distances of detection elements 32 with different functions, when the wearable electronic device 100 is connected to the external object 200, the distance between the detection element 32 and the external object 200 may be too large or too small, resulting in poor detection performance of the detection element 32 when the distance between the detection element 32 and the external object 200 is not within the preset distance range. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the adjustment assembly 40 can drive the supporting plate 31 to move toward the direction where the external object 200 is located, thereby shortening the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200. The adjustment assembly 40 can also drive the supporting plate 31 to move away from the direction where the external object 200 is located (toward the direction where the display screen 50 is located), thereby increasing the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200. Thus, the adjustment assembly 40 can drive the supporting plate 31 to move, and the adjustment assembly 40 can make the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 within a preset distance range, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the detection member 32.
[0048] It is understood that the preset distance range can be set according to the specific function of the detection element 32. The detection element 32 within the preset distance range can have better detection performance. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the preset distance range.
[0049] It is understood that the adjustment component 40 can simultaneously adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. For example, when a user wears the wearable electronic device 100 in a relatively loose position and the user's arm is uneven, the adjustment component 40 can first drive the supporting plate 31 toward the user's arm and then adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 to make the supporting plate 31 fit the external object 200.
[0050] In the wearable electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment component 40 can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. The angle range between the detection member 32 arranged on the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200 can be within a preset angle range and the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 can also be within a preset distance range, so that the supporting plate 31 and the detection member 32 can better fit the external object 200 without warping, and the detection of the detection member 32 is more accurate.
[0051] Please refer again to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment assembly 40 may include a retractable connecting member 41 and a plurality of adjustment members 42 .
[0052] The connector 41 can be disposed between the housing 10 and the support plate 31 and connected to the housing 10 and the support plate 31, respectively. For example, the connector 41 can connect to the edge of the housing 10 and the edge of the support plate 31, respectively. The housing 10, the connector 41, and the support plate 31 can enclose a housing space. A plurality of adjustment members 42 can be spaced apart and disposed in the housing space. Each adjustment member 42 can be connected to the support plate 31 and apply a force to the support plate 31. This force can adjust the extension and contraction of the connector 41 to further adjust the inclination of the support plate 31.
[0053] When the retractable connector 41 is connected to the housing 10 and the carrier plate 31 respectively, if the force applied by one or more adjustment members 42 to a certain part (or a certain area) of the carrier plate 31 cannot be evenly applied to the entire carrier plate 31, the carrier plate 31 is unevenly stressed and may have a tendency to tilt. At this time, one end of the carrier plate 31 with a tendency to tilt can stretch the connector 41, and the other end can compress the connector 41. The stretched and compressed connector 41 can adjust the tilt of the carrier plate 31 and restore the carrier plate 31 to a stable state. For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8In the embodiment, one or more adjusting members 42 connected to the upper side of the supporting plate 31 can exert a force on the upper area of the supporting plate 31 in the direction of the external object 200. The upper side of the supporting plate 31 can protrude outward and stretch the connecting member 41 connected to the upper edge. Based on the principle of leverage, the lower side of the supporting plate 31 can tilt inward and compress the connecting member 41 connected to the lower edge. It can be understood that Figure 8 and Figure 9 The inclined state of the middle supporting plate 31 can also be formed by referring to the above-mentioned forming method, which will not be described in detail here.
[0054] It is understood that the retractable connector 41 can be formed of an elastic, flexible material (e.g., rubber, latex, sponge, spring, or woven mesh); the retractable connector 41 can also be a retractable structure formed by multiple layers of rigid material, either sleeved or linked together. The present embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the connector 41; any structure of the connector 41 that can be stretched and compressed is within the scope of protection of the present embodiment.
[0055] The force applied by each adjusting member 42 to the supporting plate 31 can also simultaneously adjust the extension and retraction of the connecting member 41 to adjust the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. For example, when the force applied by multiple adjusting members 42 to the supporting plate 31 is uniform, or the force has a tendency to move in a certain direction, the supporting plate 31 is uniformly stressed and has the same movement tendency as the force. The entire supporting plate 31 can simultaneously move in the direction or opposite direction of the external object 200, and the entire connecting member 41 can be stretched or compressed at the same time. The connecting member 41 and the adjusting member 42 can work together to adjust the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. It is understood that the wearable electronic device 100 can adjust the magnitude and direction of the force applied by multiple adjusting members 42 to the supporting plate 31. The combined force applied by multiple adjusting members 42 can also simultaneously adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. The specific adjustment method is not described in detail here.
[0056] The adjustment assembly 40 may further include a drive mechanism (not shown), which may be connected to each adjustment member 42, and may drive each adjustment member 42 to move, so that each adjustment member 42 can apply the aforementioned force to the support plate 31. Of course, the force may also be generated by other structures. For example, the adjustment member 42 may be magnetic, and the adjustment assembly 40 may include a magnetic force generating device. The magnetic force generating device may apply the aforementioned force to the support plate 31 through the magnetic adjustment member 42. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the method for generating the force.
[0057] Taking into account that the adjustment member 42 can move in the direction of the external object 200 or in the opposite direction, the adjustment member 42 in the embodiment of the present application may include a retractable structure. The driving mechanism can drive the adjustment member 42 to extend or shorten so that the adjustment member 42 applies the force in the aforementioned embodiment. During this process, the movement space of the adjustment member 42 is relatively small, and the wearable electronic device 100 can be miniaturized. It is understandable that the adjustment member 42 can be an elastic member such as a spring; the adjustment member 42 can also be a retractable structure formed by multiple layers of rigid materials being sheathed or linked, such as a retractable bearing structure. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the adjustment member 42, and any structure of the adjustment member 42 that can be stretched and compressed is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.
[0058] The adjustment component 40 of the embodiment of the present application includes a retractable connecting member 41 and multiple adjusting members 42. The multiple adjusting members 42 can apply force to different parts of the supporting plate 31 to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31. The retractable connecting member 41 can adapt to the inclination trend of the supporting plate 31 and keep the supporting plate 31 in a stable inclination state. Therefore, the adjustment component 40 of the embodiment of the present application can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200, so that the supporting plate 31 can better fit the external object 200.
[0059] Among them, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 Please also refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 for Figure 3 The structure diagram of the detection assembly 30 and the adjustment assembly 40 from another perspective is shown. The multiple adjustment members 42 can be evenly arranged on the carrier plate 31. For example, the multiple adjustment members 42 can be evenly arranged around the center of the carrier plate 31 on a circumference with the center as the center.
[0060] It is understood that when the wearable electronic device 100 includes three adjustment members 42, the angle between two adjacent adjustment members 42 can be 120 degrees; when the wearable electronic device 100 includes four adjustment members 42, the angle between two adjacent adjustment members 42 can be 90 degrees, etc. The specific number of adjustment members 42 can be determined based on actual conditions, so that the wearable electronic device can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 through multiple adjustment members 42 while also reducing the production cost of the wearable electronic device 100.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple adjustment members 42 are evenly arranged on the supporting plate 31. The wearable electronic device 100 can adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 by applying force to the multiple adjustment members 42. The adjustment of the inclination of the supporting plate 31 is easier to control and quantify.
[0062] Please refer again to Figure 13 The detecting member 32 may include a plurality of detecting elements (eg, a light emitting element 321 and a light receiving element 322 ), and each adjusting member 42 may be disposed on the supporting plate 31 corresponding to one detecting element.
[0063] For example, when the detection member 32 is a PPG device, the detection member 32 may include a light emitting element 321 and multiple light receiving elements 322. The light emitting element 321 may be a light-emitting diode (LED) element, and the light receiving element 322 may be a photodiode (PD) element. Multiple adjustment members 42 may be provided in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple light receiving elements 322. An adjustment member 42 and its corresponding light receiving element 322 may be provided in the same area of the carrier plate 31, and their projections on the carrier plate 31 may be within the same area.
[0064] When the wearable electronic device 100 is connected to the external object 200, if the tilted position of the supporting plate 31 is in the area corresponding to the light receiving element 322, it will seriously affect the optical path of the PPG device and seriously affect the signal received by the light receiving element 322. The adjustment member 42 of the embodiment of the present application is set corresponding to the detection element. The adjustment member 42 can apply a force to the supporting plate 31 corresponding to the detection element in a targeted manner. The adjustment member 42 can more accurately control the inclination of the supporting plate 31 to avoid tilting of the area of the supporting plate 31 corresponding to the detection element, and the control of the adjustment member 42 is more precise.
[0065] It is understandable that, considering that the light emitting element 321 is generally disposed at the center of the carrier plate 31 , this portion is generally not prone to warping. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application may not set the adjustment member 42 in the area corresponding to the light emitting element 321 to save costs.
[0066] It is understood that, considering that the supporting plate 31 is generally prone to tilting at its edges relative to the external object 200, the distance between each adjusting member 42 and the center of the supporting plate 31 can be greater than the distance between the center and the corresponding detection element. The adjusting member 42 can be positioned around the corresponding detection element. This design allows the adjusting member 42 to better adjust the tilt of the area of the supporting plate 31 corresponding to the detection element, preventing tilting of that area.
[0067] It should be noted that the adjustment assembly 40 of the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned structure including the connecting member 41 and the adjustment member 42. For example, when a rotating shaft is provided on the supporting plate 31, the adjustment assembly 40 may include a power mechanism, which can apply a force to different parts of the supporting plate 31 to rotate the supporting plate 31 relative to the rotating shaft, thereby adjusting the inclination of the supporting plate 31. For another example, the adjustment assembly 40 may also include a slide rail and a slider, and the supporting plate 31 can move along the slide rail to adjust its distance from the external object 200. For another example, the supporting plate 31 and the adjustment assembly 40 can be improved in combination with the above two embodiments so that the adjustment assembly 40 can adjust both the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the adjustment assembly 40, and any structure of the adjustment assembly 40 that can adjust the inclination and distance of the supporting plate 31 is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.
[0068] Please combine Figure 13 Please also refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a second structural diagram of the wearable electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The wearable electronic device 100 may further include a plurality of pressure sensors 60 and a processor 70 that are spaced apart.
[0069] Each pressure sensor 60 can be arranged on both sides of the supporting plate 31 corresponding to an adjustment part 42. Each pressure sensor 60 can detect the pressure value applied by the external object 200 and the shell 10 to the supporting plate 31 when the shell 10 is connected to the external object 200. The pressure value can indicate the pressure that this part of the supporting plate 31 is subjected to.
[0070] The processor 70 can be electrically connected to each pressure sensor 60 and receive the pressure value transmitted by each pressure sensor 60. The processor 70 can control the adjustment assembly 40 to adjust the inclination of the support plate 31 based on the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60, so that the angle between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 falls within a preset angle range. For example, the processor 70 can control the amount of force applied by each adjustment member 42 to the support plate 31 based on the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60 to adjust the inclination of the support plate 31.
[0071] Of course, the processor 70 can also control the adjustment assembly 40 to drive the supporting plate 31 to move based on the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60, so that the distance between the detection member 32 and the external object 200 is within a preset distance range. For example, the processor 70 can control the magnitude of the force applied by each adjustment member 42 to the supporting plate 31 based on the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60 to drive the supporting plate 31 to move.
[0072] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the wearable electronic device 100 and the external object 200 are comfortably worn, the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60 meets the requirements. At this time, the processor 70 can control each adjustment member 42 not to apply force to the supporting plate 31. For another example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the upper side of the wearable electronic device 100 and the external object 200 are worn loosely so that the upper side of the wearable electronic device 100 is tilted, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 60 disposed on the upper side of the supporting plate 31 may be less than the preset pressure value. At this time, the processor 70 can control the adjustment member 42 disposed on the upper side of the supporting plate 31 to apply a force to the supporting plate 31 toward the external object 200 and make the upper side of the supporting plate 31 protrude and fit the external object 200. For another example, Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the lower side of the wearable electronic device 100 and the external object 200 are worn loosely, causing the lower side of the wearable electronic device 100 to tilt, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 60 disposed on the lower side of the supporting plate 31 may be lower than the preset pressure value. The processor 70 can control the adjustment member 42 disposed on the lower side of the supporting plate 31 to apply a force to the supporting plate 31 toward the external object 200, causing the lower side of the supporting plate 31 to protrude and fit the external object 200. For example, Figure 11 and Figure 12 When the entire wearable electronic device and the external object 200 are worn loosely, the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60 may be less than the preset pressure value. At this time, the processor 70 can control all the adjustment parts 42 to apply a force to the supporting plate 31 toward the external object 200 to shorten the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200 and fit the supporting plate 31 with the external object 200.
[0073] It is understandable that the processor 70 can be electrically connected to the driving mechanism and the magnetic force generating device in the aforementioned embodiment to control the driving mechanism and the magnetic force generating device and realize control of the adjustment member 42.
[0074] It can be understood that, in the process of controlling the adjustment part 42 to apply force to the supporting plate 31, the processor 70 can receive the pressure value transmitted by the pressure sensor 60 in real time and adjust the magnitude of the force applied by the adjustment part 42 in real time, so that the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 60 in the final state can be within the preset pressure range. At this time, the pressure values received by the supporting plate 31 and the detection part 32 can also be within a better pressure range, and the detection of the detection part 32 is more accurate.
[0075] It can be understood that when the adjustment component 40 is other structures that do not include the adjustment part 42, the processor 70 can control other structures of the adjustment component 40 according to the pressure value detected by each pressure sensor 60 to adjust the inclination of the supporting plate 31 and the distance between the supporting plate 31 and the external object 200, which will not be described in detail here.
[0076] It is understood that, in addition to controlling the adjustment assembly 40 through the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 60, the processor 70 can also control the adjustment assembly 40 through other methods. For example, because the quality of the signal detected by the detection member 32 can reflect the state of contact between the external object 200 and the carrier plate 31, the processor 70 can be electrically connected to the detection member 32. The processor 70 can control the adjustment assembly 40 and control the inclination of the carrier plate 31 based on the signal detected by the detection member 32. The specific control method of the processor 70 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
[0077] The processor 70 of the embodiment of the present application controls the magnitude of the force applied by the adjustment member 42 to the supporting plate 31 according to the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 60. The processor 70 can accurately control the adjustment member 42 and the shape of the supporting plate 31, and the control of the processor 70 is more precise.
