[0024] The electronic device 100 provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0025] See Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 100 includes a main body 10, a bottom shell 20, and an electrode layer 30.

[0026] Specifically, the bottom shell 20 is disposed on the main body 10. The bottom shell 20 includes a first layer 21 and a second layer 22. The second layer 22 is connected to the main body 10, and the first layer 21 is disposed on the side of the second layer 22 away from the main body 10. The first layer 21 and the second layer 22 are fitted together, and the first layer 21 has at least one hole. The electrode layer 30 is disposed on the second layer 22 and connected to the main body 10.

[0027] In other words, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a main body 10, a bottom shell 20, and an electrode layer 30. The bottom shell 20 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 10 and can face the human skin. The bottom shell 20 includes a first layer 21 and a second layer 22. The second layer 22 is connected to the main body 10, and the first layer 21 is disposed on the side of the second layer 22 away from the main body 10. The first layer 21 and the second layer 22 are in contact. The first layer 21 has at least one pore, which can serve as a sweat-absorbing layer. The pores in the first layer 21 can absorb sweat from the human skin, effectively alleviating the accumulation of sweat and preventing adverse reactions such as skin rashes caused by sweat accumulation.

[0028] In this invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first layer 21 of the bottom shell 20 can be provided with multiple pores to construct the first layer 21 as a sweat-absorbing layer. Specifically, the first layer 21 can be made of a porous rigid material and is in direct contact with the skin. The first layer 21 can be directly processed from porous materials, such as porous glass or porous ceramics, or it can be glued together from a single layer of material with grooves and pores. Due to its porous nature, the first layer 21 can absorb and retain a certain amount of sweat. The second layer 22 can serve as a support layer, providing support, waterproofing, and ensuring mechanical strength. The second layer 22 is plated with a metal electrode layer 30, which can be electrically connected to the motherboard inside the smartwatch body 10 to measure the amount of sweat or salt.

[0029] The electrode layer 30 is located on the second layer 22 and connected to the main body 10. The electrode layer 30 can measure the amount of sweat or salt absorbed in the first layer 21, so that users can clean the bottom shell 20 in a timely manner based on the measured value of sweat or salt.

[0030] In this invention, the electronic device 100 can be an electronic product such as a smartwatch or smart bracelet. When worn for a long time, the sweat that accumulates between the bottom shell 20 and the skin is absorbed by the first layer 21 of the bottom shell 20. Unlike normal evaporation, the salt in the sweat is also absorbed into the first layer 21 of the bottom shell 20, thus preventing the formation of a high osmotic pressure area on the skin surface.

[0031] Therefore, the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can absorb sweat from human skin by providing at least one hole on the first layer 21 of the bottom shell 20, effectively alleviating the accumulation of sweat and preventing adverse reactions such as skin rashes caused by sweat accumulation. Simultaneously, by providing the electrode layer 30, the amount of sweat or salt absorbed by the bottom shell 20 can be measured, allowing the user to conveniently clean the bottom shell 20 according to the measured values ​​of sweat or salt.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electrode layer 30 covers at least a portion of the second layer 22.

[0033] In other words, see Figure 2 The electrode layer 30 is disposed on the second layer 22 and may cover at least a portion of the second layer 22. A sandwich electrode (electrode layer 30) is disposed on the surface of the second layer 22, extending along its edge to the back surface of the second layer 22 and electrically connected to the main body. The electrodes may be electrode pairs placed at the edge to measure overall impedance, or electrode pairs placed in other locations to measure local impedance.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electrode layer 30 can extend from the first surface of the second layer 22 near the first layer 21 to the second surface away from the first layer 21, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the electrode layer 30 and the main body 10, and ensure that the electrode layer 30 can measure the amount of sweat or salt absorbed in the first layer 21, so as to facilitate the user to clean the bottom shell 20 in a timely manner according to the measured value of sweat or salt.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2 The electronic device 100 also includes a conductive spring 40, one end of which is connected to the electrode layer 30, and the other end is connected to the main board inside the body 10. The electrodes extend along the edge to the back of the second layer 22 and are electrically connected to the main board. The amount of sweat absorbed and the salt content of the first layer are calculated by measuring the impedance between the electrodes.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the amount of human sweat or salt measured on the electrode layer 30 exceeds a threshold, the control unit of the motherboard issues a cleaning reminder message.

[0037] In other words, when the amount of sweat or salt content exceeds a threshold, the system can remind the user to clean the watch and skin. Taking the electronic device 100 as a watch as an example, the watch interface can be set to a cleaning mode. After the user manually starts the mode and places the watch in water or running water, the watch motor begins to vibrate, accelerating the dissolution of salt in the first layer 21. After a predetermined time, the user is reminded to remove the watch from the water. After the watch is removed from the water, the drainage mode begins, with the motor vibrating to accelerate the drainage of water from the first layer 21 until the predetermined time is reached, at which point the cleaning mode ends. The drainage mode can be activated independently for sweating or draining water after swimming. Simultaneously, the drainage function of the first layer 21 can be further accelerated by heating the controllable sandwich electrode (electrode layer 30). By using electrode impedance to monitor the user's sweating rate and amount during exercise, functions such as exercise monitoring and hydration / salt replenishment reminders can be implemented.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom shell 20 can be made of optical materials, and the main body 10 contains an optical sensing component. This component can measure data such as heart rate, blood oxygen, and blood pressure. The bottom shell 20, made of dual-layer optical materials, has an outer layer (first layer 21) with a porous structure to absorb sweat. An electrode layer 30 can be placed between the outer and inner layers (second layer 22) to measure the amount and salt content of sweat within the porous layer, thus achieving sweat detection. The smartwatch system controls the electrode layer 30 to implement functions such as sweat monitoring, washing reminders, and self-cleaning.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3The first layer 21 has multiple first perforations, and the second layer 22 has multiple second perforations 221. Each first perforation can communicate with a second perforation 221 in the second layer 22. An optical sensing component is disposed within the main body 10. The optical sensing component can correspond to the opening of at least one second perforation 221 to form an optical transmission path. The optical sensing component mainly consists of a light emitting module 52 and a sensing module 54. The emitting surface of the light emitting module 52 is opposite to at least one opening of the second perforation 221 away from the first layer 21. The sensing module 54 is spaced apart from the light emitting module 52, and the sensing module 54 is opposite to the opening of another second perforation 221 away from the first layer 21. The light emitting module 52 emits light, which enters the corresponding second perforation 221 and strikes the human skin. The light reflected by the human skin reaches the sensing module 54 through the other second perforation 221, enabling the detection of data such as the human heart rate.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the optical sensing component further includes a Fresnel film 53. The Fresnel film 53 is disposed on the light emitting module 52. The Fresnel film 53 can focus the light emitted by the light emitting module, thereby improving the light efficiency.

[0041] In this invention, see Figure 3 A Fresnel film 53 is positioned between the light-emitting module 52 and the second layer 22, and the Fresnel film 53 can be spaced apart from the light-emitting module 52 and the second layer 22 respectively, which facilitates the Fresnel film 53 in focusing light and improving the light efficiency of the optical sensor. The light-emitting module 52 can be an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) to facilitate the emission of light.

[0042] In this invention, see Figure 3 The number of first and second perforations 221 can be specifically limited according to actual needs. Each first perforation of the first layer 21 is vertically aligned with each second perforation 221 of the corresponding second layer 22, forming an optical path. The optical sensing component may also include a circuit board 51, which is disposed within the main body 10. A light emitting module 52 is disposed on the circuit board 51, and a Fresnel membrane 53 is disposed on the light emitting module 52. A sensing module 54 is disposed on the circuit board 51, and the sensing module 54 is spaced apart from the light emitting module 52. The light emitting module 52 emits light, which passes through the Fresnel membrane 53 and sequentially enters the second perforation 221 and the first perforation, and is placed on human skin. The light reflected by the human skin reaches the sensing module 54 through another first and second perforation 221, realizing the detection of data such as human heart rate.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the diameter of the first perforation is larger than that of the second perforation 221. The sensing module 54 also includes an optical sheet 55, which is disposed within the first perforation. The first perforation of the first layer 21 can be filled with a gapless optical window (optical sheet 55). The optical sheet 55 and the first layer 21 together form a skin contact surface, preventing sweat from directly entering the first perforation and affecting the service life of the optical sensing component.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 100 further includes: a light-blocking layer 56, which is disposed on the inner wall surface of the first through hole and extends to the inner wall surface of the second through hole 221. The electronic device 100 further includes: a water-proof layer 57, which is disposed on the outer wall surface of the first through hole.

[0045] In other words, see Figure 3 The inner wall of the first perforation of the first layer 21 is waterproofed using a water-resistant layer 57 made of a non-porous material. The non-porous waterproof material can be a coating, ink, or molded component, or a combination thereof. At the same time, to eliminate light crosstalk, a light-blocking layer 56 is provided on the inner surface of the first perforation. The light-blocking layer 56 can be an opaque ink, coating, or molded component.

[0046] In summary, the electronic device 100 according to embodiments of the present invention can absorb sweat from human skin through the bottom shell 20, effectively alleviating the accumulation of sweat and preventing adverse reactions such as skin rashes caused by sweat accumulation. Simultaneously, by providing the electrode layer 30, the amount of sweat or salt absorbed by the bottom shell 20 can be measured, allowing users to easily clean the bottom shell 20 based on the measured values. This electronic device 100 can effectively reduce skin damage caused by sweat when wearing a smartwatch, is easy to clean, and can monitor the user's perspiration, predict exercise intensity, and remind users to replenish water and electrolytes.
