DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] The core of the present invention is to provide a wearable device with a built-in power generation device and a power device. When the wearer drives the wearable device to move, the power generation device will automatically generate electricity and store the electrical energy in the power supply device, which can effectively extend the battery life of the wearable device and reduce the charging frequency of the wearable device.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-10 .

[0047] This specific embodiment discloses a wearable device including a housing, a power supply device 2, a power generation device 3 and a power device 4; the power supply device 2 is arranged in the housing and is used to power the electrical components in the wearable device; the power generation device 3 is arranged in the housing and is used to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy when rotating, and the power generation component is electrically connected to the power supply device 2 to store the electrical energy generated by the power generation device 3 in the power supply device 2; the power device 4 is arranged in the housing and includes a ratchet 402, an oscillating weight 408 rotatable around an eccentric shaft 404 and a transmission component, the ratchet 402 and The generator 3 is connected to the drive assembly to drive the generator 3 to rotate; the transmission assembly is provided with a first pawl 4073 and a second pawl 4074, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 respectively engage with different positions of the ratchet 402; when the oscillating weight 408 rotates clockwise, the first pawl 4073 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate in one direction, and the second pawl 4074 slides relative to the ratchet 402; when the oscillating weight 408 rotates counterclockwise, the first pawl 4073 slides relative to the ratchet 402, and the second pawl 4074 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate in one direction.

[0048] The wearable device mentioned in this application document can be a wrist-worn device such as a bracelet or a watch, or other electronic devices such as a neck-worn wireless headset. The specific details will be determined based on actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The electric energy generated by the power generation device 3 can be transmitted to the power supply device 2 for storage. During specific use, the power supply device 2 can be set as a battery and can be charged through external wired or wireless devices.

[0050] During use of the wearable device provided in this specific embodiment, under normal circumstances, power is supplied to the electrical components in the wearable device through the power supply device 2; when the wearer drives the wearable device to move while wearing or using the wearable device, the oscillating weight 408 of the power device 4 in the shell rotates, and during the rotation of the oscillating weight 408, the ratchet 402 is driven to rotate through the transmission component. When the oscillating weight 408 rotates clockwise, the first pawl 4073 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate in one direction, and the second pawl 4074 slides relative to the ratchet 402; when the oscillating weight 408 rotates counterclockwise, the first pawl 4073 slides relative to the ratchet 402, and the second pawl 4074 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate in one direction, so that the ratchet 402 rotates in one direction regardless of whether the oscillating weight 408 swings counterclockwise or clockwise. During the rotation of the ratchet 402, the power generating device 3 is driven to rotate. The power generating device 3 converts kinetic energy into electrical energy during the rotation. The generated electrical energy can be stored in the power supply device 2, thereby charging the power supply device 2.

[0051] Compared with the existing technology, the wearable device provided in this specific embodiment can automatically charge the power supply device 2 through the power device 4 and the power generation device 3 during use, which can effectively extend the battery life of the wearable device and reduce the frequency of charging the wearable device; in addition, in situations where it is inconvenient to connect external devices for charging, such as in the wild, the power device 4 and the power generation device 3 can provide power to the power supply device 2 to maintain the normal function of the wearable device.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, if Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the transmission assembly can include a gear set and a push rod 407 eccentrically and rotatably arranged on the gear set. The gear set is driven to rotate by the oscillating weight 408, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 are both arranged on the push rod 407.

[0053] In the actual setting process, in solution one, the push rod 407 can be set as an integrated structure, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 are both set on the push rod 407; Figure 10 As shown, the push rod 407 is a V-shaped structure, the first pawl 4073 is arranged on the inner side of the first side arm 4071 of the V-shaped structure, and the second pawl 4074 is arranged on the inner side of the second side arm 4072 of the V-shaped structure.

[0054] When the rotor 408 Figure 5 When the push rod 407 rotates clockwise in the direction shown, the transmission assembly drives the push rod 407 to rotate eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction. The first pawl 4073 of the push rod 407 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise during the eccentric rotation. During the rotation of the ratchet 402, the second pawl 4074 slides relative to the ratchet 402. Figure 6When the push rod 407 rotates counterclockwise as shown, the transmission assembly drives the push rod 407 to rotate eccentrically clockwise. The second pawl 4074 of the push rod 407 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise during the eccentric rotation. When the ratchet 402 rotates, the first pawl 4073 slides relative to the ratchet 402.

[0055] In this specific embodiment, the push rod 407 has a simple structure and is easy to process. By setting the push rod 407 to a V-shaped structure and arranging the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 on the inner sides of the two side arms of the V-shaped push rod 407, it can be achieved that no matter whether the push rod 407 rotates eccentrically counterclockwise or clockwise, it will drive the ratchet 402 to rotate in one direction. The unidirectional rotation control of the ratchet 402 is achieved with a simple structure, which can effectively reduce costs. In addition, no matter whether the oscillating weight 408 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise, the transmission component will convert the kinetic energy of the oscillating weight 408 into the kinetic energy of the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet 402, which can effectively improve the efficiency of energy conversion.

[0056] Option 2: The push rod 407 can be set as an integrated structure, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 are both set on the push rod 407; the push rod 407 is a C-shaped structure, the first pawl 4073 is set at one end of the inner wall of the C-shaped structure, and the second pawl 4074 is set at the other end of the inner wall of the C-shaped structure; the C-shaped structure is partially wrapped around the outer periphery of the ratchet 402, so that the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 are respectively engaged with different positions of the pawl.

[0057] Option three, the push rod 407 can be set to a split structure, so that the push rod 407 includes a first rod portion eccentrically and rotatably arranged on the gear group and a second rod portion eccentrically and rotatably arranged on the gear group, the first pawl 4073 is arranged on the inner side wall of the first rod portion, and the second pawl is arranged on the inner side wall of the second rod portion, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 are respectively engaged with different positions of the pawls.

[0058] During actual use, when the rotor 408 rotates clockwise, it drives the push rod 407 to rotate eccentrically counterclockwise via the transmission assembly. During this eccentric rotation, the first pawl 4073 of the first rod portion pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise. As the ratchet 402 rotates, the second pawl 4074 slides relative to the ratchet 402. When the rotor 408 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the push rod 407 to rotate eccentrically clockwise via the transmission assembly. During this eccentric rotation, the second pawl 4074 of the second rod portion pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise. As the ratchet 402 rotates, the first pawl 4073 slides relative to the ratchet 402.

[0059] Preferably, the push rod 407 is an elastic rod, and the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 engage with the ratchet 402 by relying on the elastic force of the push rod 407 itself. During the process of the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 engaging with the ratchet 402, the elastic force of the push rod 407 itself can improve the engagement tightness of the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 with the ratchet 402, thereby preventing the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 from disengaging from the ratchet 402.

[0060] In another embodiment, an elastic member may be provided on the push rod 407. The push rod 407 itself may not be elastic. When the push rod 407 is a V-shaped structure or a C-shaped structure, an elastic member is provided in the middle of the V-shaped structure to connect the two ends of the inner side wall of the V-shaped structure or the C-shaped structure, so that the two ends of the inner side wall of the V-shaped structure or the C-shaped structure tend to be relatively close to each other, so that the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 provided on the inner side wall of the V-shaped structure or the C-shaped structure engage with the ratchet 402. Specifically, the elastic member in this embodiment may be a spring, an elastic rope, or the like.

[0061] In another embodiment, the elastic member can be set as a spring sheet, and one end of the spring sheet is fixed to the shell, and the other end is pressed against the outside of the push rod 407, applying an elastic force toward the ratchet 402 to the push rod 407, so that the first pawl 4073 and the second pawl 4074 on the push rod 407 engage with the ratchet 402. During the rotation of the ratchet 402, the push rod 407 squeezes the spring sheet outward, causing the spring sheet to undergo elastic deformation, so that the first pawl 4073 or the second pawl 4074 slides relative to the ratchet 402.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the gear set includes a first gear 403 and a second gear 406; the first gear 403 is coaxial with the oscillating weight 408 and rotates synchronously, the second gear 406 is meshed with the first gear 403 for transmission, and the push rod 407 is eccentrically and rotatably arranged on the second gear 406.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the oscillating weight 408 is rotatably arranged about the eccentric shaft 404, the first gear 403 is coaxially arranged with the eccentric shaft 404, the second gear 406 is rotatable about the rotating shaft 405, the second gear 406 is meshed with the first gear 403, and the push rod 407 is eccentrically and rotatably arranged on the second gear 406; the ratchet 402 rotates synchronously with the connecting shaft 401 and is coaxially arranged, and the two pawls of the push rod 407 are respectively meshed with different positions of the ratchet 402.

[0064] In the actual use process, when the rotor 408 is Figure 5When the gear 407 rotates clockwise in the direction shown, the first gear 403 is driven to rotate clockwise around the eccentric shaft 404. During the rotation process, the first gear 403 drives the second gear 406 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 405. The push rod 407 is driven by the second gear 406 to swing counterclockwise eccentrically. At this time, the first pawl 4073 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise. The ratchet 402 slides relative to the second pawl 4074 during the counterclockwise rotation. When the oscillating weight 408 is rotated as shown in FIG. Figure 6 When the shown direction rotates counterclockwise, it will drive the first gear 403 to rotate counterclockwise around the eccentric shaft 404. During the rotation, the first gear 403 drives the second gear 406 to rotate clockwise around the rotating shaft 405. The push rod 407 swings eccentrically clockwise under the drive of the second gear 406. At this time, the second pawl 4074 pushes the ratchet 402 to rotate counterclockwise, and the ratchet 402 slides relative to the first pawl 4073 during the counterclockwise rotation. During the counterclockwise rotation of the ratchet 402, it will drive the connecting shaft 401 to rotate counterclockwise, and the connecting shaft 401 drives the generator 3 to rotate to generate electrical energy.

[0065] Compared with the prior art, the gear set in this specific embodiment is provided with only two gears, with a small number of gears, a simple structure, and easy assembly.

[0066] Based on the above embodiment, the diameter of the first gear 403 can be made smaller than the diameter of the second gear 406, which facilitates the installation of the push rod 407 on the second gear 406, and during the rotation of the first gear 403, the circumferential rotation speed of the second gear 406 is smaller than that of the first gear 403, so that the rotation angle of the second gear 406 can be more accurately controlled to facilitate the control of the rotation angle of the push rod 407.

[0067] Preferably, the first gear 403 is arranged between the ratchet 402 and the second gear 406. During the installation process, the push rod 407 can span the upper part of the first gear 403 to avoid occupying additional horizontal space and make the internal space layout of the wearable device more reasonable.

[0068] Of course, the second gear 406 may also be disposed between the first gear 403 and the ratchet 402 , depending on the actual situation.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the wearable device further includes a mounting bracket 5 disposed within the housing, and the rotor 408, first gear 403, second gear 406, and ratchet 402 are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 5. Specifically, an eccentric shaft 404 can be disposed on the mounting bracket 5, and the rotor 408 and first gear 403 can both be mounted on the eccentric shaft 404, so that the rotor 408 drives the first gear 403 to rotate synchronously during rotation; a rotating shaft 405 is fixedly disposed on the mounting bracket 5, and the second gear 406 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 405.

[0070] In one specific embodiment, the power generation device 3 includes a magnet, a coil assembly, a commutator 307 and a brush; the magnet is used to generate a magnetic field; the coil assembly can be rotatably arranged and cuts the magnetic flux lines of the magnetic field during rotation to generate current; the commutator 307 is electrically connected to the coil assembly and is used to commutate the current when the coil assembly rotates; one end of the brush is electrically connected to the commutator 307, and the other end is electrically connected to the power supply device 2 to store the current generated by the coil assembly in the power supply device 2.

[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, the magnet includes a first magnet 305 for providing an N pole and a second magnet 309 for providing an S pole, and the first magnet 305 and the second magnet 309 are both arc-shaped structures, and the coil assembly is arranged in the space enclosed by the first magnet 305 and the second magnet 309; the brush includes a first brush 302 and a second brush 306, and the first brush 302 and the second brush 306 are electrically connected to the power supply device 2 through a wire 304; the first brush 302 and the second brush 306 are arranged opposite to each other, so as to be electrically connected to both sides of the commutator 307 during the rotation of the commutator 307, the coil assembly includes a coil bracket 308 and a coil 303 wound on the coil bracket 308, the coil 303 is electrically connected to the commutator 307, and the commutator 307 is installed on the commutator bracket 301; the coil bracket 308 and the commutator bracket 301 are both connected to the power device 4 Figure 3 The connecting shaft 401 shown can drive the coil bracket 308 and the commutator bracket 301 to rotate during the rotation of the ratchet 402. The coil 303 cuts the magnetic lines of force during the rotation to generate current. The brush and commutator 307 contact to conduct the current and ensure that the current direction is consistent. The current is transmitted to the battery storage through the wire 304 connected to the brush.

[0072] The first magnet 305 and the second magnet 309 may also be rectangular structures, which is determined according to actual conditions.

[0073] Preferably, the power generation device 3 can be set as a generator, which includes a motor housing 310. During the specific installation process, the first magnet 305, the second magnet 309, the first brush 302, and the second brush are fixedly installed on the motor housing 310, and the coil bracket 308 and the commutator bracket 301 are connected to the connecting shaft 401 of the power device 4.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, when the wearable device is a smartwatch, the housing can include an upper housing 101, a middle housing 102, and a lower housing 103. The middle housing 102 is an annular structure, with the upper housing 101 buckled onto the upper portion of the middle housing 102, and the lower housing 103 buckled onto the lower portion of the middle housing 102. The power supply unit 2, the generator unit 3, and the power unit 4 are all disposed within the space enclosed by the upper housing 101, the middle housing 102, and the lower housing 103. During use of the smartwatch, the wearer's arm movements can drive the rotor 408 within the power unit 4 to rotate, thereby driving the coil 303 of the generator unit 3 to generate electricity, thereby solving the battery life issue of the smartwatch.

[0075] Of course, the housing may also have other structural forms, which will not be described here in detail.

[0076] The “first” and “second” in the first magnet 305 and the second magnet 309 , the first brush 302 and the second brush 306 mentioned in this application document are only used to distinguish the different positions and there is no order of precedence.
