[0033] The wearable device according to some embodiments of the present application will be described below. Figures 1-17 The wearable device according to some embodiments of the present application will be described below.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the wearable device according to some embodiments of the present application comprises a watch dial 1, a damping assembly 10 is arranged on the watch dial 1; a watch bezel 2 is rotatably arranged on the watch dial 1, and a damping structure 20 is arranged on the watch bezel 2, wherein the wearable device has a first mode and a second mode, in the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the damping assembly 10 cooperates with the damping structure 20, and in the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the damping assembly 10 and the damping structure 20 are separated.
[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the wearable device comprises a watch dial 1 and a watch bezel 2, the watch bezel 2 is rotatably arranged on the watch dial 1, and the interaction with the wearable device can be realized by rotating the watch dial 1, without frequently pressing the keys of the wearable device to select the built-in menu or function, and the defect that the view is blocked by the finger when clicking the touch screen is also avoided. Wherein, the watch dial 1 is provided with a damping assembly 10, and the watch bezel 2 is provided with a damping structure 20, in the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the damping assembly 10 cooperates with the damping structure 20, realizing the damping feeling rotation of the watch bezel 2, and improving the use feeling. In the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the damping assembly 10 and the damping structure 20 are separated, realizing the smooth feeling rotation of the watch bezel 2, improving the rotation speed of the watch bezel 2, and further improving the interaction efficiency with the wearable device. Different modes can be switched according to different use requirements of the user, so that there is a more simple and efficient interaction experience in different scene conditions.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , according to one embodiment of the present application, the watch dial 1 comprises a containing cavity 11 and a mounting groove 12, the mounting groove 12 is arranged around the containing cavity 11, and the watch bezel 2 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 12; the side wall of the mounting groove 12 is provided with a through hole 13, the damping assembly 10 is movably arranged in the through hole 13, the damping assembly 10 can be extended into the mounting groove 12 from the through hole 13 to cooperate with the damping structure 20, or the damping assembly 10 can be retracted from the through hole 13 to separate from the damping structure 20.
[0037] In this embodiment, the dial 1 comprises a receiving cavity 11 and a mounting groove 12, the mounting groove 12 is arranged around the receiving cavity 11, and the bezel 2 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 12, which improves the reliability of the connection between the bezel 2 and the dial 1. A through hole 13 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and the damping assembly 10 is arranged in the through hole 13 and can be telescoped in the through hole 13, and then in the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the damping assembly 10 is extended into the mounting groove 12 from the through hole 13 and cooperates with the damping structure 20, and in the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the damping assembly 10 is retracted into the through hole 13, so that the damping assembly 10 is separated from the damping structure 20, thereby improving the smoothness of the bezel 2.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , according to one embodiment of the present application, the damping assembly 10 comprises a first protrusion 102, a first elastic member 104 and a limiting plate 106, the limiting plate 106 is connected with the dial 1, and the first elastic member 104 connects the limiting plate 106 and the first protrusion 102; the damping structure 20 comprises a plurality of second protrusions 200, recesses are arranged between adjacent second protrusions 200, and the plurality of second protrusions 200 and the plurality of recesses are alternately arranged along the circumference of the bezel 2, and in the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the first protrusion 102 can alternately cooperate with the second protrusions 200 and the recesses with the rotation of the bezel 2.
[0039] In this embodiment, the damping assembly 10 comprises a first protrusion 102, a first elastic member 104 and a limiting plate 106. The first elastic member 104 connects the first protrusion 102 and the limiting plate 106, and the limiting plate 106 is connected with the dial 1, which improves the reliability of the connection between the damping assembly 10 and the through hole 13. The damping structure 20 comprises a plurality of second protrusions 200, and adjacent second protrusions 200 have recesses therebetween, so that in the first mode, when the bezel 2 is rotated, the cooperation between the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusions 200 produces a regular damping feeling, and at the same time, the first protrusion 102 collides with the recesses between adjacent second protrusions 200 under the action of the first elastic member 104 to produce a collision sound, so that in the first mode, there is an obvious paragraph damping feeling.
[0040] It can be understood that the plurality of second protrusions 200 are distributed along the rotation direction of the dial 1, and thus, during the rotation of the bezel 2 in the first mode, when the second protrusions 200 contact the first protrusions 102, the second protrusions 200 drive the first protrusions 102 to move into the through hole 13, so that the first elastic member 104 deforms, thereby the first elastic member 104 generates a reaction force on the first protrusions 102, so that when the first protrusions 102 correspond to the grooves between the adjacent second protrusions 200, the first protrusions 102 are bounced at the grooves between the adjacent second protrusions 200 under the action of the first elastic member 104, and collide with the grooves, thereby generating a collision sound.
[0041] In a specific application, the limiting plate 106 is connected to the inner wall side of the accommodating cavity 11 and is arranged corresponding to the through hole 13, and further, the limiting plate 106 blocks at least part of the through hole 13.
[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 , the number of damping assemblies 10 is one or more. Further, three sets of damping assemblies 10 can be arranged on the dial 1, so that the bezel 2 is more uniformly stressed in the rotation direction.
[0043] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , according to an embodiment of the present application, along the rotation axis of the bezel 2, the bezel 2 is movably connected with the mounting groove 12; the inner side wall of the bezel 2 is provided with a smooth part 22, and in the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the damping assembly 10 contacts the smooth part 22.
[0044] In this embodiment, along the rotation axis of the bezel 2, the bezel 2 is movably connected with the mounting groove 12, so that the bezel 2 can move up and down in the mounting groove 12, and further, the rotation mode of the bezel 2 is switched by the up and down movement of the bezel 2. Among them, the inner side wall of the bezel 2 is provided with a smooth part 22, and in the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the damping assembly 10 is separated from the damping structure 20 and contacts the smooth part 22, thereby realizing the rapid rotation of the bezel 2.
[0045] In a specific application, the smooth part 22 is located at the top of the damping structure 20, and thus, when the bezel 2 is pressed downward, the smooth part 22 contacts the damping assembly 10, so that the damping assembly 10 slides along the smooth part 22, thereby realizing the undamped rotation of the bezel 2. When the bezel 2 is lifted upward, the smooth part 22 is separated from the damping assembly 10, the damping structure 20 contacts the damping assembly 10, and the paragraph damping is realized.
[0046] It should be noted that the smooth rotation of the bezel 2 can also be achieved without the smooth part 22. Specifically, in the case where the wearable device is in the second mode, the second protrusion 200 is arranged in a spaced manner with the inner side wall of the bezel 2, achieving the smooth rotation of the bezel 2. It can be understood that in this setting, the part of the inner side wall of the bezel 2 corresponding to the second protrusion 200 can be smooth or uneven.
[0047] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to one embodiment of the present application, the damping assembly 10 is provided with a first inclined surface 108, and the bezel 2 is provided with a second inclined surface 24, the second inclined surface 24 connecting the damping structure 20 and the smooth part 22. In the case where the wearable device is in the first mode, the first inclined surface 108 is in contact with the second inclined surface 24, and in the case where the wearable device is in the second mode, the first inclined surface 108 is separated from the second inclined surface 24. In the process of switching the wearable device from the first mode to the second mode, the second inclined surface 24 drives the damping assembly 10 to retract into the through hole 13 through the first inclined surface 108.
[0048] In this embodiment, the damping assembly 10 is provided with a first inclined surface 108, and the damping structure 20 is provided with a second inclined surface 24, the second inclined surface 24 connecting the damping structure 20 and the smooth part 22. In the case where the wearable device is in the first mode, the first inclined surface 108 is in contact with the second inclined surface 24, having a certain limiting effect on the damping assembly 10, which can ensure the reliability of the connection between the damping assembly 10 and the damping structure 20 in the first mode. In the case where the wearable device is in the second mode, the first inclined surface 108 is separated from the second inclined surface 24, allowing the bezel 2 to rotate smoothly. In addition, in the process of switching the wearable device from the first mode to the second mode, the cooperation of the first inclined surface 108 and the second inclined surface 24 allows the first protrusion 102 to move along the second inclined surface 24 to the smooth part 22, while driving the first protrusion 102 to retract into the through hole 13, making the process of switching from the first mode to the second mode smoother.
[0049] It can be understood that the smooth part 22 protrudes from the damping structure 20 towards the inside of the accommodating cavity 11.
[0050] In specific applications, the first inclined surface 108 is located on one side of the first protrusion 102.
[0051] Specifically, from the damping structure 20 to the smooth part 22, the second inclined surface 24 is inclined towards the top of the dial 1, so that the smooth part 22 protrudes from the damping structure 20, and in the process of switching the wearable device from the first mode to the second mode, the first protrusion 102 is simultaneously driven to retract into the through hole 13.
[0052] AsFigure 14 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, the wearable device further comprises a driving member 3, the driving member 3 being configured to drive the movement of the bezel 2 or the movement of the damping assembly 10, so as to switch the wearable device between the first mode and the second mode.
[0053] In this embodiment, the wearable device further comprises a driving member 3, the driving member 3 being configured to drive the movement of the bezel 2 or the movement of the damping assembly 10, so as to switch the first mode and the second mode, thereby improving the automation degree of the wearable device.
[0054] In specific applications, when the driving member 3 drives the movement of the bezel 2, it is configured to drive the bezel 2 to move up and down along the rotation axis of the bezel 2. When the driving member 3 drives the movement of the damping assembly 10, it is configured to drive the damping assembly 10 to extend out of the through hole 13 or to retract into the through hole 13.
[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 , according to one embodiment of the present application, the driving member 3 comprises a second elastic member 32 located at the bottom of the bezel 2, the second elastic member 32 being in a deformed state when the wearable device is in the second mode, and being configured to drive the movement of the bezel 2 towards the top of the dial 1.
[0056] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 comprises a second elastic member 32, the second elastic member 32 being arranged at the bottom of the bezel 2, and when the second elastic member 32 is deformed, an upward force is generated on the bezel 2, thereby enabling the switching of the wearable device from the second mode to the first mode. By arranging the second elastic member 32, an additional power source is not needed, and the occupation of the internal space of the dial 1 is reduced.
[0057] In specific applications, as shown in Figure 9 , the bezel 2 is pressed down, the second elastic member 32 is compressed downward, and at the same time, the second inclined surface 24 of the bezel 2 acts on the first inclined surface 108 of the damping assembly 10, pushing the first protrusion 102 to be compressed into the through hole 13, at this time, the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 200 are no longer matched, and the wearable device enters the second mode, at this time, the bezel 2 can be quickly rotated without damping.
[0058] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the force pressing the bezel 2 is removed, the bezel 2 is bounced back under the action of the second elastic member 32, the first protrusion 102 is no longer blocked and pops out again to cooperate with the second protrusion 200, and the wearable device returns to the first mode. For example, the user can press the bezel 2 with one finger and slide the bezel 2 clockwise or counterclockwise with the same finger, in which case the second mode, i.e. the smooth mode, is realized; the user can slide the bezel 2 clockwise or counterclockwise without pressing the bezel 2 with force, or rotate the bezel 2 with two fingers, in which case the first mode, i.e. the paragraph mode, is realized.
[0059] As shown in the drawings, Figure 13 According to one embodiment of the present application, the driving member 3 further comprises a magnetic member 30; at least a part of the bezel 2 is ferromagnetic structure, or a ferromagnetic structure is arranged on the bezel 2, the ferromagnetic structure is arranged corresponding to the magnetic member 30, and the magnetic member 30 is used to adsorb the ferromagnetic structure, so that the wearable device is kept in the second mode.
[0060] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 further comprises a magnetic member 30, at least a part of the bezel 2 is ferromagnetic structure, or a ferromagnetic structure is arranged on the bezel 2, and then the magnetic member 30 adsorbs the ferromagnetic structure to drive the bezel 2 to move along the axis direction, so as to realize the switching between the first mode and the second mode of the wearable device.
[0061] In specific applications, the bezel 2 is kept in the second mode through magnetic force.
[0062] Specifically, the bezel 2 can be partially or entirely ferromagnetic structure or have ferromagnetic structure (such as ferromagnetic layer) added on the surface, so that the bezel 2 can be attracted by magnetic force. A certain number of sink grooves are added at some positions of the cooperation surface between the dial 1 and the bezel 2, and the magnetic member 30 is arranged in the sink grooves. When the bezel 2 is pressed down, the magnetic member 30 attracts the bezel 2 through the ferromagnetic structure, and the magnetic force at this time is greater than the elastic force of the second elastic member 32 acting on the bezel 2, so that the bezel 2 can be kept in the smooth second mode without the need of continuously applying the pressing force; when it is needed to return to the first mode, the bezel 2 can be manually lifted (for example, the bezel 2 is lifted with the fingers), the bezel 2 is lifted under the action of the external force and the second elastic member 32, the first protrusion 102 is no longer blocked and pops out again to cooperate with the damping structure 20, and the first mode is restored.
[0063] Of course, the active switching between the first mode and the second mode can also be realized through the magnetic member 30.
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present application, the magnetic member 30 comprises an electromagnet structure.
[0065] In this embodiment, the magnetic member 30 is arranged as an electromagnet structure, and the switching between the first mode and the second mode can be realized by controlling the on-off of the electromagnet structure to actively control the lifting of the bezel 2.
[0066] In a specific application, in the first mode, the electromagnet structure is not powered, and the bezel 2 is in the raised state. When the rotation speed of the bezel 2 is greater than a certain threshold value, it is judged that the user needs to enter the second mode at this time, or the control is powered on through the received instruction of the user input switching to the second mode, the magnetic force pulls down the bezel 2, and enters the second mode.
[0067] As shown in the figure, according to one embodiment of the present application, the wearable device further comprises: a sliding rail 4 located between the second elastic member 32 and the bezel 2; and a fixing member 5 connected with the bezel 2 and the dial 1. Figure 1
[0068] In this embodiment, the wearable device further comprises the sliding rail 4 and the fixing member 5, the sliding rail 4 is arranged between the second elastic member 32 and the bezel 2, which can reduce the friction between the bezel 2 and the second elastic member 32, and further make the rotation of the bezel 2 more smooth, and at the same time, the sliding rail 4 can also support the bezel 2, and ensure the stability of the rotation of the bezel 2. The fixing member 5 is used to fix the bezel 2 and the dial 1, so as to avoid the bezel 2 from falling off.
[0069] It can be understood that under the limitation of the fixing member 5, the bezel 2 cannot be taken out of the mounting groove 12, but the bezel 2 can rotate and lift relative to the dial 1.
[0070] Further, the fixing member 5 comprises an annular fixing member arranged on the side of the bezel 2 away from the sliding rail 4, and the fixing member 5 is connected with the display screen assembly 8. The damping structure 20 is located on the inner side of the bezel 2, and the damping structure 20 is a gear-like structure, and the smooth part 22 is a smooth surface structure, which can greatly reduce the damping of friction.
[0071] In a specific application, in the first mode, the second elastic member 32 supports the sliding rail 4, the sliding rail 4 holds up the bezel 2, so that the gear-like structure on the bezel 2 cooperates with the first protrusion 102. The bezel 2 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise under the action of external force (such as the force of the user's hand twisting), and will not fall off under the limitation of the fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 can be fixed on the dial 1 by means of, but not limited to, double-sided adhesive tape, dispensing, buckle, screw, etc. When the bezel 2 rotates, the first protrusion 102 makes a cooperative movement under the action of the gear-like structure and the first elastic member 104, and generates a regular damping feeling; the first protrusion 102 collides with the gear-like structure under the reaction force of the first elastic member 104, and generates a "click" sound and a jamming feeling.
[0072] According to one embodiment of the present application, the driving member 3 further comprises an electromagnet 34 arranged at the end of the damping assembly 10 away from the damping structure 20; in the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the electromagnet 34 is powered on, the electromagnet 34 is adsorbed with the damping assembly 10 to separate the damping assembly 10 from the damping structure 20; in the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the electromagnet 34 is powered off, the electromagnet 34 is desorbed from the damping assembly 10, and the damping assembly 10 cooperates with the damping structure 20.
[0073] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 comprises the electromagnet 34, and the driving of the damping assembly 10 is realized by the power-on and power-off of the electromagnet 34. In the case that the wearable device is in the first mode, the electromagnet 34 is powered off, and the adsorption force on the damping assembly 10 is lost, so that the damping assembly 10 can extend through the through hole 13 to cooperate with the damping structure 20. In the case that the wearable device is in the second mode, the electromagnet 34 is powered on, and the damping assembly 10 is adsorbed, so that the damping assembly 10 is retracted into the through hole 13.
[0074] In a specific application, an electromagnet 34 can be added to the limiting plate 106. In the case that the wearable device is in a mode, the electromagnet 34 is not powered on, the first protrusion 102 is in a pop-up state, and the rotating bezel 2 has a paragraph damping feeling. When the rotating speed of the rotating bezel 2 is greater than a certain threshold, it is judged that the second mode needs to be entered at this time, or the instruction of switching to the second mode input by the user is received, and the electromagnet 34 is powered on. The magnetic force attracts the first protrusion 102 to retract, the first protrusion 102 no longer cooperates with the rotating bezel 2, and the second mode is entered.
[0075] As shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 According to one embodiment of the present application, the wearable device further comprises a detection member 6 arranged on the dial 1, the detection member 6 comprising a photoelectric sensor 60 and a light guide column 62, and at least two color layers 26 arranged on the rotating bezel 2 and distributed along the circumference of the rotating bezel 2, the colors of the at least two color layers 26 being different and located in the detection area of the detection member 6, and the light guide column 62 being located on the side of the photoelectric sensor 60 close to the color layers 26, the photoelectric sensor 60 being used to determine the rotation information of the rotating bezel 2 according to the color change in the detection area; and a control unit connected with the driving member 3 and the photoelectric sensor 60, the control unit being used to control the driving member 3 to work according to the rotation information.
[0076] In this embodiment, the wearable device further comprises the detection member 6 and the control unit, the detection member 6 being used to detect the rotation information of the dial 1, and the control unit being used to control the driving member 3 to work according to the rotation information, so as to control the dial 1 to ascend and descend or control the damping assembly 10 to stretch and retract, thereby realizing the switching between the first mode and the second mode.
[0077] It should be noted that the rotation information includes the rotation direction and the rotation speed.
[0078] Specifically, the detection piece 6 comprises a photoelectric sensor 60 and a light guide column 62, the photoelectric sensor 60 is arranged on the dial 1, the light guide column 62 is arranged on the side of the photoelectric sensor 60 close to the color layer 26 to conduct the light emitted by the photoelectric sensor 60 to the detection area, at least two color layers 26 are arranged on the bezel 2 and located in the detection area, as the bezel 2 rotates, the color layer 26 in the detection area changes, the photoelectric sensor 60 detects different color layers 26 and emits different electrical signals, and then the rotation information is determined according to the different electrical signals.
[0079] In specific applications, as shown in the figure, Figure 16 two color layers 26 of different colors are formed on the side of the bezel 2 facing the dial 1 by anodizing, spraying and other processes, specifically, the color layer 26 comprises a first color layer 260 and a second color layer 262, the first color layer 260 is white and the second color layer 262 is black. The dial 1 is provided with an opening at a position on the surface matched with the bezel 2, the light guide column 62 is assembled in the opening, and the photoelectric sensor 60 is assembled below the light guide column 62. The photoelectric sensor 60 is provided with a light source and two receivers.
[0080] Suppose that the signal received by a single sensor is 0 when the light shines on the black surface and the signal received by the white surface is 1, then there are four states of 00, 01, 11 and 10 when the bezel 2 is static. When the bezel 2 rotates counterclockwise, the corresponding signals are 00→01→11→10→00; and vice versa, the corresponding signals are 00→10→11→01→00. According to the signal switching time, the corresponding rotation speed can be calculated.
[0081] The color of the bezel 2 is recognized by the photoelectric sensor 60, so as to detect the rotation direction and speed, and the recognition logic is as shown in the figure Figure 17 .
[0082] Specifically, when in the state of 00, if the next state is 10, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating forward, if the next state is 00, it is determined that the bezel 2 is static, and if the next state is 01, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating reversely, i.e. counterclockwise.
[0083] When in the state of 01, if the next state is 00, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating forward, if the next state is 01, it is determined that the bezel 2 is static, and if the next state is 11, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating reversely.
[0084] When in the state of 11, if the next state is 01, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating forward, if the next state is 11, it is determined that the bezel 2 is static, and if the next state is 10, it is determined that the bezel 2 is rotating reversely.
[0085] When in state 10, if the next state is 11, it is determined that the crown 2 is advancing, if the next state is 10, it is determined that the crown 2 is stationary, and if the next state is 00, it is determined that the crown 2 is reversing.
