Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 10 The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail through specific implementation methods and application scenarios.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a wearable component 30.

[0030] Specifically, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are movably connected by a connector 21, which is switchable between a first state and a second state. When the connector 21 is in the first state and there is a first angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, a first wearable device 10 is formed. When the connector 21 is in the second state and the first body 11 rotates relative to the second body 12 around the connector 21 to form a second angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, a second wearable device 20 is formed. A wearable component 30 is disposed on the first body 11 or the second body 12. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form the first wearable device 10 or the second wearable device 20, the wearable component 30 is connected to the first body 11 or the second body 12.

[0031] In other words, see Figure 1 The electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a first body 11, a second body 12, and a wearable component 30. Wherein, as... Figure 2 As shown, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can be movably connected via a connector 21. The connector 21 can switch between a first state and a second state. When the connector 21 is in the first state and there is a first angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can form a first wearable device 10. When the connector 21 is in the second state, the first body 11 can rotate relative to the second body 12 around the connector 21. (See also...) Figure 7 When the first body 11 is rotated to a second angle with the second body 12, a second wearable device 20 can be formed. The wearable component 30 can be disposed on the first body 11 or the second body 12. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form the first wearable device 10 or the second wearable device 20, the wearable component 30 is connected to the first body 11 or the second body 12 to meet the wear requirements of the first wearable device 10 or the second wearable device 20.

[0032] The present invention enables the electronic device to freely switch between the two shapes of the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20 by setting a movable connector 21 between the first body 11 and the second body 12, realizing the functions of two different electronic products in the same electronic device, making the electronic device more convenient to carry and improving the user experience.

[0033] In this invention, see Figures 1 to 6 The first body 11 and the second body 12 have a first angle, which can be the angle when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are unfolded in parallel, and the first body 11 and the second body 12 have a second angle, which can be the angle when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are folded together (see...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first state of connector 21 can be understood as the state in which connector 21 is retracted within the first body 11 and the second body 12 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown), the second state of connector 21 can be understood as connector 21 extending out of the first body 11 and the second body 12 (see...). Figure 2 and Figure 5 and Figure 6 And the first body 11 and the second body 12 can rotate relative to the connecting member 21 (see...). Figure 7 ).

[0034] In this invention, the first wearable device 10 formed by the first body and the second body 12 in the first state can be smart glasses (such as...). Figures 1 to 6 As shown), the second wearable device 20 formed when the second body 12 and the second body 12 are in the second state can be similar to a watch structure (see...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 ).

[0035] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are movably connected by a connector 21, and the wearable component 30 is disposed on the first body 11 or the second body 12. When the connector 21 is in the first state and there is a first angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, the first body 11, the second body 12, and the wearable component can cooperate to form a first wearable device 10. When the connector 21 is in the second state and there is a second angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, the first body 11, the second body 12, and the wearable component 30 can cooperate to form a second wearable device 20, realizing the free switching between the two shapes of the electronic device, the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20. This allows one electronic device to perform the functions of two different electronic products, making the electronic device more convenient to carry and providing a better user experience.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electronic device also includes a third body 13, which is movably connected to the end of the first body 11 away from the connector 21. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the first wearable device 10, the third body 13 and the first body 11 have a third angle (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the second wearable device 20, the third body 13 has a second angle with the first body 11 (see...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 ).

[0037] When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the first wearable device 10, the third body 13 can be at a 90° angle to the first body 11. Taking the first wearable device 10 as an example of eyeglasses, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are respectively the two frames of the eyeglasses (the first frame and the second frame), and the third body 13 can serve as part of the temple of the eyeglasses (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the second wearable device 20, the third body 13 can fit snugly against the first body 11, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the third body 13 is located between the first body 11 and the second body 12, and the first body 11, the third body 13, and the second body 12 are in close contact with each other. The first body 11, the third body 13, and the second body 12 can form a watch, which can serve as a second wearable device 20. Therefore, the electronic device of the present invention can switch between two different electronic products, glasses and a watch, simultaneously to meet the different usage needs of users.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first side of the third body 13 is relatively close to the first body 11. When there is a second angle between the third body 13 and the first body 11, the first side of the third body 13 is in contact with the first body 11. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device also includes a functional component 23 and a movable component 22. The functional component 23 is movably disposed on the third body 13. When the third body 13 and the first body 11 have a third angle, see [reference needed]. Figure 9 The functional component 23 is relatively far from the first side of the third body 13. When there is a second angle between the third body 13 and the first body 11, such as... Figure 10As shown, the functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13. The movable component 22 is disposed on the first body 11 or the third body 13, and the movable component 22 is connected to the functional component 23 to drive the functional component 23 when the third body 13 moves relative to the first body 11.

[0039] In other words, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first side of the third body 13 is relatively close to the first body 11. When there is a second angle between the third body 13 and the first body 11, the first side of the third body 13 is in contact with the first body 11, and the third body 13 is located between the first body 11 and the second body 12. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device also includes a functional component 23 and a movable component 22, wherein the functional component 23 is movably mounted within the third body 13, and when there is a third angle between the third body 13 and the first body 11, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 9 The third body 13 and the first body 11 form an angle of approximately 90°, and the functional component 23 is relatively far away from the first side of the third body 13.

[0040] In the case where there is a second angle between the third subject 13 and the first subject 11, participants Figure 8 and Figure 10 The third body 13 is fitted to the first body 11, and the functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13, which is beneficial for the data acquisition of the functional component. The movable component 22 is disposed inside the first body 11 or the third body 13. The movable component 22 is connected to the functional component 23. When the third body 13 moves relative to the first body 11, the movable component 22 can drive the functional component 23 to move closer to the first side of the third body 13, ensuring that the functional component 23 can be closer to the first body 11.

[0041] In this invention, functional component 23 can be a heart rate monitoring component used to monitor the user's heart rate and has health data monitoring functions. See also Figures 8 to 10 When the third body 13 moves relative to the first body 11, the movable component 22 can drive the functional component 23 to protrude from the first side of the third body 13, ensuring that the functional component 23 can be closer to the first body 11, making it easier for the functional component 23 to detect more accurate data. Of course, the functional component 23 can also be a structural component that can perform other functions, which will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the active component 22 includes a connecting shaft 223, a first gear 224, and a rack 221.

[0043] Specifically, connecting shaft 223 connects the first body 11 and the third body 13, which are rotatable relative to each other around the axis of connecting shaft 223. A first gear 224 is disposed on connecting shaft 223 and connected to the first body 11, allowing the first body 11 to drive the first gear 224 to rotate. A rack 221 is movably disposed on the third body 13 between a first position and a second position. The first end of the rack 221 meshes with the first gear 224, and the second end of the rack 221 is connected to the functional component 23. When the first body 11 and the third body 13 rotate relative to each other around the axis of connecting shaft 223, the first body 11 drives the first gear 224 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 221 to move, thereby moving the functional component 23. When there is a third angle between the first body 11 and the third body 13, the rack 221 is in the first position, and the functional component 23 is relatively far from the first side of the third body 13. With a second angle between the first body 11 and the third body 13, the rack 221 is in a second position, and the functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13.

[0044] In other words, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the movable component 22 mainly consists of a connecting shaft 223, a first gear 224, and a rack 221. The connecting shaft 223 connects the first body 11 and the third body 13, allowing both bodies to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 223. This enables the first body 11 and the third body 13 to move between a second angle and a third angle, ensuring that the third body 13 can be unfolded or folded relative to the first body 11. The first gear 224 is mounted on the connecting shaft 223 and connected to the first body 11, allowing the first body 11 to drive the first gear 224 to rotate. The rack 221 is movably disposed within the third body 13 between a first position and a second position. The first end of the rack 221 meshes with the first gear 224, and the second end of the rack 221 is connected to the functional component 23.

[0045] When the first body 11 and the third body 13 rotate relative to each other about the axis of the connecting shaft 223, the first body 11 can drive the first gear 224 to rotate, and the first gear 224 can drive the rack 221 to move, thereby causing the functional component 23 to move relative to the first side of the third body 13. When there is a third angle between the first body 11 and the third body 13, such as... Figure 9 As shown, rack 221 is in the first position, and functional component 23 is relatively far from the first side of the third body 13. At this time, the first body 11 and the third body 13 form an angle of approximately 90°. When there is a second angle between the first body 11 and the third body 13, such as... Figure 10As shown, the rack 221 is in the second position, and the functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13. At this time, the first body 11 and the third body 13 are in contact.

[0046] In this invention, the rack 221 is provided with toothed segments 222. The first end of the connecting shaft 223 is connected to the first main body 11. The first main body is rotatable relative to the connecting shaft 223. The first gear 224 is provided at the second end of the connecting shaft 223. The outer circumferential surface of the first gear 224 is provided with teeth. During the rotation of the connecting shaft 223, the teeth on the first gear 224 rotate along the toothed segments 222 on the rack 221, thereby driving the rack 221 to move. Through the cooperation of the first gear 224 and the rack 221, the third main body 13 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state relative to the first main body 11, realizing the interchangeability of the forms of the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20, which is convenient for users to operate electronic devices according to actual needs.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the movable component 22 also includes a second gear 226, which is rotatably disposed between the functional component 23 and the second end of the rack 221 about its own axis of rotation. When the first body 11 and the third body 13 rotate relative to each other about the axis of the connecting shaft 223, the first body 11 drives the first gear 224 to rotate, the first gear 224 can drive the rack 221 to move, and then the rack 221 drives the second gear 226 to rotate, thereby driving the functional component 23 to move.

[0048] With rack 221 in the first position, the second end of the second gear 226 is relatively close to rack 221, and at this time, functional component 23 is relatively far away from the first side of the third body 13. With rack 221 in the second position, the second end of the second gear 226 is relatively far away from rack 221, and the second gear 226 abuts against functional component 23. At this time, functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13, ensuring that functional component 23 is closer to the first body 11, facilitating data collection by functional component 23.

[0049] In this invention, see Figure 9 and Figure 10The second gear 226 is movable within the third body 13 via a pivot 225. The functional component 23 corresponds to the position of the second gear 226. When the third body is in an unfolded state relative to the first body (at a third angle), the rack 221 is in a first position. At this time, the second end of the second gear 226 is relatively close to the rack 221, and the side of the functional component 23 facing away from the second gear 226 is flush with the surface of the third body 13, facilitating the user's wearing and use of the first wearable device. When the third body is in a folded state relative to the first body (at a second angle), the rack 221 is in a second position (see...). Figure 8 and Figure 10 The second end of the second gear 226 is relatively far away from the rack 221 and abuts against the functional member 23. At this time, the second gear 226 can lift the functional member 23, so that the functional member 23 protrudes from the first surface of the first body towards the third body 13, ensuring that the functional member 23 can be closer to the first body, making it easier for the functional member 23 to detect more accurate data.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the first end of the second gear 226 and the rotation axis is a first distance, the distance between the second end of the second gear 226 and the rotation axis is a second distance, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.

[0051] In other words, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second gear 226 can be designed as a rod-shaped gear with one large end and one small end. Specifically, teeth that mate with the toothed section 222 are provided on one side of the large end of the second gear 226. The distance between the large end of the second gear 226 and the axis of rotation is the second distance, and the distance between the small end of the second gear 226 and the axis of rotation is the first distance. When the third body 13 is in an unfolded state relative to the first body 11, as... Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the second gear 226 is horizontally disposed inside the third body 13 (in the first position). At this time, the side of the functional component 23 facing away from the second gear 226 is flush with the surface of the third body 13, which makes it convenient for the user to wear and use the first wearable device 10.

[0052] When the third body 13 is folded relative to the first body 11, such as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the second gear 226 is erected (in the second position). At this time, the second gear 226 can lift the functional component 23, so that the functional component 23 protrudes from the third body 13 toward the first body 11, ensuring that the functional component 23 can be closer to the first body 11, so that the functional component 23 can detect more accurate data.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the toothed segment 222 includes a first segment 2221 and a second segment 2222, which are spaced apart on the rack 221. The first segment 2221 corresponds to the position of the first gear 224, and the second segment 2222 corresponds to the position of the second gear 226.

[0054] In other words, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the toothed segment 222 is mainly composed of a first segment 2221 and a second segment 2222, and the rack 221 can be a long strip structure. The first segment 2221 and the second segment 2222 can be spaced apart on the rack 221, and the first segment 2221 corresponds to the position of the first gear 224, which can roll on the first segment 2221. The second segment 2222 corresponds to the position of the second gear 226, which can roll on the second segment 2222, thereby enabling the electronic device to unfold or fold.

[0055] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the number of second gears 226 can be set to two, and the two second gears 226 can be arranged alternately within the third body 13. By setting two second gears 226, it can be ensured that the functional component 23 can be more stably lifted or retracted from within the third body 13.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the active component 22 further includes an elastic member 24 disposed within the third body 13. The first end of the elastic member 24 is connected to the rack 221, and the second end of the elastic member 24 is connected to the functional member 23. When the functional member 23 is relatively far away from the first side of the third body 13, the elastic member 24 is in a contracted state, and when the functional member 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13, the elastic member 24 is in a stretched state.

[0057] In other words, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The active component 22 may also include an elastic element 24, which may be a tension spring. The elastic element 24 is disposed in the third body 13. One end of the elastic element 24 is connected to the rack 221, and the other end of the elastic element 24 is connected to the functional component 23.

[0058] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, when the functional component 23 is relatively far from the first side of the third body 13, the elastic component 24 is in a contracted state. When the functional component 23 is relatively close to the first side of the third body 13, the elastic component 24 is in a stretched state. When the third body 13 is folded onto the first body 11, since the first gear 224, the connecting shaft 223, and the first body 11 are fixedly connected together (a tight fit can be achieved), the first gear 224 and the first segment 2221 on the rack 221 will have relative movement. When the first gear 224 rotates 90°, the first gear 224 pulls the rack 221 to the right. At this time, the second gear 226 will be pulled 90° by the rack 221 and lift the functional component 23, making the functional component 23 closer to the first body 11 and closer to the human body, so as to obtain more accurate data.

[0059] Meanwhile, the built-in system in the electronic device can activate the function of component 23 when switching to the form of the second wearable device 20, enabling the product to perform health data detection. Similarly, when the user switches back to the form of the first wearable device 10, the second gear 226 will return to 90°. At this time, because the tension spring (elastic component 24) exerts a pulling force on component 23, component 23 can return to the third body 13 of the second wearable device 20.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device also includes a fourth body 14, which is movably connected to the end of the second body 12 away from the connector 21. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the first wearable device 10, the fourth body 14 and the second body 12 have a third angle between them, and the fourth body 14 is disposed opposite to the third body 13. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the first wearable device 10 (e.g., smart glasses), as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fourth body 14 and the second body 12 form an angle of approximately 90°. At this time, the third body 13 and the fourth body 14 can serve as part of the two temples of the smart glasses, respectively.

[0061] When the first body 11 and the second body 12 cooperate to form the second wearable device 20 (e.g., a watch), the fourth body 14 and the second body 12 have a second angle between them. At this time, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the fourth main body 14 is fitted together with the second main body 12, and the first main body 11, the third main body 13, the fourth main body 14 and the second main body 12 are stacked in sequence to form a watch shape, which facilitates the user to switch freely between the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20 to meet the user's different wearing needs.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electronic device also includes a wearable component 30, which can be disposed on the third body 13 or the fourth body 14. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form the first wearable device 10 or the second wearable device 20, the wearable component 30 is connected to the third body 13 or the fourth body 14 to facilitate wearing when the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20 switch between different usage modes.

[0063] In this invention, see Figures 1 to 8 The first wearable device 10 can be smart glasses, the first main body 11 can be a first frame, and the second main body 12 can be a second frame. The second wearable device 20 can be a smartwatch, with the third main body 13 rotatably connected to the first frame and the fourth main body 14 rotatably connected to the second frame. When switching to a smartwatch, the first main body 11, the third main body 13, the fourth main body 14, and the second main body 12 are stacked sequentially to form a watch shape (see...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 The smartwatch and smart glasses can be electrically connected via a flexible circuit board, allowing for easy folding at the bend. Of course, data transmission between the smartwatch and smart glasses can also be achieved via Bluetooth, simplifying the structure.

[0064] This invention combines smart glasses and a smartwatch, providing a way to make the two interchangeable, making the product easier to carry, and simultaneously satisfying the smart visual experience of glasses and the health data monitoring functions of a smartwatch.

[0065] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 4 to 6 A connector 21 can be provided between the first frame (first main body 11) and the second frame (second main body 12), such as... Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the connector 21 can be designed as an H-shaped structure. One end of the connector 21 is rotatably connected to the first body 11, and the other end of the connector 21 is rotatably connected to the second body 12.

[0066] When using the smart glasses, users simply wear them as if they were smart glasses. For easier portability or health data monitoring, users need to switch the glasses to watch mode. Users can extend the first main body 11 and the second main body 12 to the sides, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 After the connector 21 is exposed, the third main body 13 and the fourth main body 14 on both sides are folded onto the first main body 11 and the second main body 12 respectively to achieve the watch shape.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the wearable component 30 includes: a first wearable member 31 and a second wearable member 32, wherein a first end of the first wearable member 31 is connected to a third body 13, and a first end of the second wearable member 32 is connected to a fourth body 14. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form a first wearable device 10, a second end of the first wearable member 31 is connected to a second end of the second wearable member 32. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form a second wearable device 20, a second end of the first wearable member 31 passes through a connector 21 and is connected to a second end of the second wearable member 32.

[0068] In other words, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wearable component 30 mainly consists of a first wearable part 31 and a second wearable part 32. The first wearable part 31 is connected to the third main body 13, and the second wearable part 32 is connected to the fourth main body 14. The first wearable part 31 and the second wearable part 32 can be attached using Velcro. The third main body and the fourth main body 14 each have a slot 211 on one side for securing the first wearable part 31 or the second wearable part 32 (see [reference]). Figure 5 When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form the first wearable device 10, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 The second end of the first wearable component 31 is connected to the second end of the second wearable component 32. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 form the second wearable device 20, see [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second end of the first wearable piece 31 passes through the connector 21 and is connected to the second end of the second wearable piece 32.

[0069] When using the smart glasses, users can simply wear them as standard smart glasses. For more convenient portability or health monitoring, the glasses can be switched to a watch mode. Firstly, as... Figure 2 As shown, the user can stretch the first main body 11 (first frame) and the second main body 12 (second frame) to both sides, exposing the H-shaped connector 21, and then fold the smartwatches on both sides onto the first and second frames respectively. Next, the first wearable component 31 in the wearable assembly 30 is passed through the connector 21, and the second wearable component 32 is passed through the slot 211 of the second wearable device 20. Finally, the first and second frames are folded together. See [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 At this point, the electronic device can be transformed into a watch device and the watch mode can be activated.

[0070] When the smartwatch folds into the first frame, as Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, since the first gear 224, connecting shaft 223, and first frame are fixedly connected (achieved through a tight fit), the first gear 224 and rack 221 will have relative movement. The first gear 224 rotates 90°, pulling rack 221 to the right. At this time, the second gear 226 will also be pulled 90° by rack 221, raising the heart rate component (functional element 23) and bringing it closer to the transparent screen of the first frame. Simultaneously, the built-in system of the electronic device will also activate the function of functional element 23 when changing the watch form, enabling the product to perform health data monitoring. See also... Figure 8 and Figure 10 When the user switches back to glasses mode, the second gear 226 will return to 90°. At this time, because the tension spring exerts a pulling force on the functional component 23, the functional component 23 will return to the smartwatch.

[0071] The wearable component 30, i.e., the watch strap, can be a soft strap or a braided cord strap. The connection between the two straps (first wearable component 31 and second wearable component 32) can be achieved using Velcro. When the glasses are transformed into a watch, the second wearable component 32 needs to be folded onto the corresponding slot 211 of the smartwatch and pass through the smartwatch's slot, moving to the left. Meanwhile, the first wearable component 31 can pass through the middle of the H-shaped connector 21 and move to the right. This eliminates the need for the strap to be detachable, facilitating easy switching between the smart glasses and smartwatch modes and simplifying the strap structure.

[0072] Of course, other structures and working principles of electronic devices are understandable and achievable by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0073] In summary, in this embodiment of the invention, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are movably connected by a connector 21, and the wearable component 30 is disposed on the first body 11 or the second body 12. When the connector 21 is in a first state and there is a first angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, the first body 11, the second body 12, and the wearable component 30 can cooperate to form a first wearable device 10. When the connector 21 is in a second state and there is a second angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, the first body 11, the second body 12, and the wearable component 30 can cooperate to form a second wearable device 20, realizing the free switching between the two shapes of the electronic device, the first wearable device 10 and the second wearable device 20. This allows one electronic device to perform the functions of two different electronic products, making the electronic device more convenient to carry and providing a better user experience.
