[0002] Currently, as smartwatches become increasingly sophisticated, their use is becoming more widespread. However, when worn on the human body, the display surface of a smartwatch is typically positioned in a fixed posture, away from the wearer's arm. This limited orientation restricts its use, requiring users to adopt a specific viewing angle for optimal viewing, thus making smartwatches somewhat inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a dial component designed to improve the ease of use of smartwatches.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the dial assembly proposed in this invention includes:
[0005] base; and
[0006] The dial is disposed on the base and has a display surface formed on the side opposite to the base. The dial can also rotate relative to the base around a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis. The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are perpendicular to each other, and the second rotation axis is perpendicular to the display surface.
[0007] Optionally, the dial assembly further includes a connector, one side of the dial being rotatably connected to the connector about the first rotation axis, and the connector being rotatably connected to the base about the second rotation axis.
[0008] Optionally, the connector includes:
[0009] A support plate, rotatably connected to the base about the second rotation axis; and
[0010] A connecting lug protrudes from the side of the support plate opposite to the base, and one side of the dial is rotatably connected to the connecting lug around the first rotation axis.
[0011] Optionally, the dial assembly further includes a first damping structure for applying damping to the rotation of the dial about the first rotation axis;
[0012] And / or, the dial assembly further includes a second damping structure for applying damping to the rotation of the support plate about the second rotation axis.
[0013] Optionally, when the dial assembly includes a first damping structure, the first damping structure includes:
[0014] A first rotating shaft, rotatably disposed on the connecting lug about a first rotation axis, the dial connected to the first rotating shaft, and a first stop portion further provided on the first rotating shaft; and
[0015] The first elastic element is sleeved on the first rotating shaft and elastically abuts against the connecting ear and the first stop portion.
[0016] Optionally, the first stop and the first elastic element are located on one side of the connecting ear, and the first rotating shaft is also provided with a connecting plate, which is located on the side of the connecting ear away from the first stop and the first elastic element.
[0017] The dial is connected to the connecting plate, and the first damping structure further includes a fastening screw that passes through the dial and is threadedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft that has the connecting plate.
[0018] Optionally, the dial is provided with a mounting hole, and an insert is provided in the mounting hole;
[0019] The insert has one of a post and a socket, the connecting plate has the other of the post and the socket, the post is inserted into the socket, and the fastening screw passes through the insert.
[0020] Optionally, when the dial assembly includes a second damping structure, the second damping structure includes:
[0021] A second rotating shaft is disposed on the base, and the bearing plate is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft around the second rotating axis. A limiting head is also provided on the second rotating shaft.

[0026] The watch strap is connected to the base in the dial assembly.
[0027] When the dial assembly of the present invention is used in a smartwatch, the dial can rotate relative to the base around a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis. This allows the dial to have an initial placement posture with the display face away from the base, a placement posture after rotating around the first rotation axis, and another placement posture after rotating around the second rotation axis.

[0046] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0048] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0049] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0050] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the word "and / or" throughout the text means including three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of a person skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
[0051] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application proposes a dial assembly 100. In one embodiment of this application, the dial assembly 100 includes a base 10 and a dial 20. The dial 20 is disposed on the base 10 and has a display surface 21 formed on the side opposite to the base 10. The dial 20 can also rotate relative to the base 10 around a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis. The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are arranged perpendicularly, and the second rotation axis is perpendicular to the display surface 21.
[0052] The base 10 can be used to provide a mounting position for mounting the display panel 20. The base 10 can be a plate structure or a frame structure. This application does not limit the specific structural form and shape of the base 10.
[0053] The dial 20 serves as the main structure of the smartwatch 1000, enabling its primary functions. When the dial 20 is not rotating relative to the base 10, it has an initial state. In this initial state, the display surface 21 on the dial 20 faces away from the base 10. This display surface 21 can display the time, or other information such as text messages, emails, photos, and music. Furthermore, when the smartwatch 1000 interacts with a body information detector, the display surface 21 can display body information such as heart rate. Alternatively, when a first camera 24 is located on one side of the dial 20 near the display surface 21, enabling video calls, the display surface 21 can also display the video feed of the other party. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit the content that the display surface 21 on the dial 20 can display; it can be adaptively configured according to actual needs. When the display surface 21 of the dial 20 is defined as facing upwards, the first rotation axis of the dial 20 can be a horizontal axis (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (This refers to the state of the dial 20 after rotating around the first rotation axis), and the second rotation axis can be a vertical axis (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (This refers to the state of the dial 20 after rotation around the second rotation axis). In actual use, the smartwatch 1000 can rotate the dial 20 first around the first rotation axis, and then around the second rotation axis to achieve the desired state. Alternatively, the dial 20 can be rotated first around the second rotation axis, and then around the first rotation axis to achieve the desired state. Or, the dial 20 can be rotated only around one of the first and second rotation axes to achieve the desired state. This application does not limit the rotation process of the dial 20, as long as it can rotate around the first and / or second rotation axes. Furthermore, the dial 20 can rotate 90° around the first rotation axis, but it can also rotate 80°, 70°, or 60°, etc. This application does not specifically limit the rotation angle travel of the dial 20 around the first rotation axis. Similarly, the dial 20 can also rotate 90° around the second rotation axis, or it can rotate 80°, 70° or 60°, etc. This application does not make specific limitations on the rotation angle of the dial 20 around the second rotation axis.
[0054] When the dial assembly 100 of this application is used in a smartwatch 1000, the dial 20 can rotate relative to the base 10 around a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis. This allows the dial 20 to have an initial placement posture with the display surface 21 facing away from the base 10, a placement posture after rotating around the first rotation axis, and another placement posture after rotating around the second rotation axis. In other words, this arrangement allows for a variety of placement postures for the dial 20, enabling users to use it from multiple angles and thus improving the ease of use of the smartwatch 1000.
[0055] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 6 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the dial assembly 100 further includes a connecting seat 30, one side of the dial 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 30 about a first rotation axis, and the connecting seat 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 about a second rotation axis.
[0056] In this embodiment, by additionally providing a connecting seat 30, the dial 20 is rotated twice on the base 10. This simplifies the structural arrangement of the dial 20 and the base 10, thus protecting the structure of both the dial 20 and the base 10 from damage. Furthermore, by rotatably connecting one side of the dial 20 to the connecting seat 30, the dial 20 rotates around the first rotation axis while simultaneously flipping around the side connected to the connecting seat 30. This eliminates the need for clearance space on the base 10 to accommodate the rotation of the dial 20, thereby improving the compactness of the dial 20's distribution on the base 10. This reduces the overall size of the dial assembly 100, further enhancing the ease of use of the smartwatch 1000. It should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the dial 20 may also be rotatably connected to the base 10 from the center. In this case, the base 10 only needs to provide clearance space for the dial 20 after rotation around the first rotation axis.
[0057] Please refer to the reference. Figures 6 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the connecting seat 30 includes a support plate 31 and a connecting ear 33. The support plate 31 is rotatably connected to the base 10 around a second rotation axis. The connecting ear 33 protrudes from the side of the support plate 31 away from the base 10, and one side of the dial 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting ear 33 around a first rotation axis.
[0058] In this embodiment, the support plate 31 and the connecting ear 33 are arranged at an angle, meaning the support plate 31 can be horizontal and the connecting ear 33 can be vertical. This allows the connecting seat 30 to be well-connected to the base 10 around the second rotation axis via the support plate 31, and well-connected to the dial 20 around the first rotation axis via the connecting ear 33, thus facilitating rotational connection of the dial 20 in two rotational directions. Simultaneously, the structure of the connecting seat 30 is very simple, improving the ease of manufacturing the connecting seat 30.
[0059] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the dial assembly 100 further includes a first damping structure 40, which is used to dampen the rotation of the dial 20 about a first rotation axis.
[0060] In this embodiment, by setting the first damping structure 40, a damping force can be applied to the rotation of the dial 20 around the first rotation axis, thereby facilitating the limiting and fixing of the dial 20 after it has rotated to the correct position around the first rotation axis, and maintaining it in the limited position. At the same time, the setting of the first damping structure 40 can also provide the user with a damped feel, thereby improving the user's feel when rotating the dial 20.
[0061] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the dial assembly 100 further includes a second damping structure 50, which is used to dampen the rotation of the support plate 31 about a second rotation axis.
[0062] In this embodiment, by providing a second damping structure 50, a damping force can be applied to the rotation of the support plate 31 around the second rotation axis, thereby facilitating the limiting and fixing of the dial 20 after it has rotated to the correct position around the second rotation axis, and maintaining it in the limited position. Simultaneously, the second damping structure 50 also provides a damped feel to the user, thereby improving the user's feel when rotating the dial 20.
[0063] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, when the dial assembly 100 includes a first damping structure 40, the first damping structure 40 includes a first rotating shaft 41 and a first elastic element 43 (which may be a spring or an elastic silicone or rubber element, etc.). The first rotating shaft 41 is rotatably disposed on the connecting ear 33 around a first rotation axis. The dial 20 is connected to the first rotating shaft 41. The first rotating shaft 41 is also provided with a first stop portion 411. The first elastic element 43 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 41 and elastically abuts against the connecting ear 33 and the first stop portion 411.
[0064] In this embodiment, the first damping structure 40 is configured as a first rotating shaft 41 and a first elastic element 43, allowing the dial 20 to be easily rotated around a first rotation axis via the first rotating shaft 41. Simultaneously, the first elastic element 43 can be directly fitted onto the first rotating shaft 41. Therefore, the structure of the first damping structure 40 is very simple and easy to assemble, thus improving the convenience of setting up the first damping structure 40. Of course, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the first damping structure 40 may also include a damping shaft, in which case the damping shaft can be interference-fitted with the connecting lug 33 to provide damping force during rotation, and the dial 20 can be connected to this damping shaft.
[0065] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the first stop 411 and the first elastic member 43 are located on one side of the connecting ear 33, and the first rotating shaft 41 is also provided with a connecting plate 413, which is located on the side of the connecting ear 33 away from the first stop 411 and the first elastic member 43; the dial 20 is connected to the connecting plate 413, and the first damping structure 40 also includes a fastening screw 45, which passes through the dial 20 and is threadedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 41 where the connecting plate 413 is located.
[0066] In this embodiment, the first stop 411 and the first elastic element 43 are disposed on one side of the connecting ear 33, while the dial 20 is connected to the first rotating shaft 41 on the other side of the connecting ear 33. This allows for a more compact structural distribution, which helps to further reduce the overall size of the smartwatch 1000 and improve its ease of use. Furthermore, the fastening screw 45 and the connecting plate 413 allow the first rotating shaft to slide along the first rotating axis when the fastening screw 45 is rotated, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the elastic element and thus adjusting the damping force provided by the first elastic element 43. The connecting plate 413 can be fitted onto the first rotating shaft 41, and an anti-rotation part 415 is provided between the connecting plate 413 and the first rotating shaft to improve the ease of installation of the connecting plate 413 on the first rotating shaft 41. The anti-rotation part 415 can be an anti-rotation surface 416 provided on the first rotating shaft 41, and the connecting plate 413 can be appropriately fitted at the position on the first rotating shaft 41 where the anti-rotation surface 416 is provided. Of course, the anti-rotation part 415 can also be a protruding rib on the first rotating shaft 41, and the connecting plate 413 can be provided with a recess adapted for the insertion of the protruding rib. In addition, the fastening screw 45 and the dial 20 can be threaded, and the dial 20 can be a hole with only a light hole for the fastening screw 45 to pass through, that is, a hole without threads.
[0067] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11In one embodiment of this application, the dial 20 is provided with a mounting hole 22, and an insert 221 is provided in the mounting hole 22; the insert 221 is provided with one of a post 223 and a socket 414, and the connecting plate 413 is provided with the other of a post 223 and a socket 414. The post 223 is inserted into the socket 414, and the fastening screw 45 passes through the insert 221.
[0068] In this embodiment, the insert 221 is designed to be manufactured independently, facilitating its connection with the connecting plate 413. This is particularly beneficial when the insert 221 has a hole for engaging with the fastening screw 45, making the hole easier to machine. The insert 221 can be non-circular, and the mounting hole 22 can be adapted to its shape. This allows the insert 221 to rotate when the dial 20 rotates around the first rotation axis, which in turn rotates the connecting plate 413, thereby rotating the first rotating shaft 41. This allows the first stop 411 on the first rotating shaft 41 to generate damping force due to the elastic abutment of the first elastic member 43 during rotation.
[0069] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, a second stop 412 may be provided at the end of the first rotating shaft 41 away from the first stop 411, so as to abut and limit the connecting disc 413 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 41 through the second stop 412, so that the connecting disc 413 is limited between the connecting ear 33 and the second stop 412. Further, in order to increase wear resistance, a wear-resistant member 60 may be provided between the first elastic member 43 and the connecting ear 33, and a wear-resistant member 60 may also be provided between the connecting disc 413 and the connecting ear 33. The wear-resistant member 60 may be made of a material with good wear resistance, such as high manganese steel, high manganese alloy, or high chromium alloy cast iron. In addition, the wear-resistant member 60 may also be a non-rotational surface 416 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 41.
[0070] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, when the dial assembly 100 includes a second damping structure 50, the second damping structure 50 includes a second rotating shaft 51 and a second elastic element 53 (which may be a spring or an elastic silicone or rubber element, etc.). The second rotating shaft 51 is disposed on the base 10, and the bearing plate 31 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 51 around the second rotating axis. The second rotating shaft 51 is also provided with a limiting head 511. The second elastic element 53 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 51 and elastically abuts against the bearing plate 31 and the limiting head 511.
[0071] In this embodiment, the second damping structure 50 is configured as a second rotating shaft 51 and a second elastic element 53, allowing the bearing plate 31 to be easily rotated around the second rotation axis via the second rotating shaft 51. Simultaneously, the second elastic element 53 can be directly sleeved and installed on the second rotating shaft 51. Therefore, the structure of the second damping structure 50 is very simple and easy to assemble, thereby improving the convenience of setting up the second damping structure 50. Of course, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the second damping structure 50 may also include a damping shaft, in which case the bearing plate 31 can be interference-fitted with the damping shaft to provide damping force during rotation.
[0072] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, the second pivot 51 can pass through the support plate 31 to the side where the connecting ear 33 is provided, and the limiting head 511 and the second elastic member 53 can be disposed on the second pivot 51 extending to the side of the connecting ear 33. In this case, the space on the side of the support plate 31 where the connecting ear 33 is provided can be fully utilized, thereby improving the compactness of the structural distribution of this part, so as to reduce the overall size of the smartwatch 1000. Furthermore, to increase wear resistance, a wear-resistant member 60 can also be provided between the second elastic member 53 and the support seat.
[0073] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment of this application, two connecting lugs 33 may be provided, located at opposite ends of the support plate 31. This allows the dial 20 to have a connection relationship at both opposite ends of the support plate 31, thereby improving the stability of the rotational connection of the dial 20.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment of this application, the side surface of the dial 20 may be provided with a receiving groove 23 to increase the receiving space for the connecting seat 30, the first damping structure 40 and the second damping structure 50, thereby further improving the compactness of the structure distribution and further reducing the overall volume of the smartwatch 1000.
[0075] Please refer to reference 2 and... Figure 6 In one embodiment of this application, in order to improve the protection of the connector 30, the first damping structure 40 and the second damping structure 50 and the aesthetics of the smartwatch 1000, the connector 30 may be connected to a protective cover 35, which can cover the connector 30 and parts of the first damping structure 40 and the second damping structure 50.
[0076] Please refer to the reference. Figure 4 ,as well as Figures 12 to 14In one embodiment of this application, the side of the dial 20 away from the connector 30 is detachably connected to the base 10.
[0077] In this embodiment, one side of the dial 20 is rotatably connected, while the opposite side is detachably connected. This allows the dial 20 to be connected to the base 10 from the side rotatably connected when not in use, thereby improving the stability of the dial 20 in its initial state. The side of the dial 20 away from the connector 30 and the base 10 can be snap-fit connected, making the connection at this end very simple and facilitating easy assembly and disassembly. The dial 20 may have a pressable button 26 with a latch 261, and a third elastic element 27 between the button 26 and the dial 20. The base 10 may have a snap-fit plate 11 with snap holes 111. When the latching plate 11 is inserted into the dial 20, the latch 261 on the button 26 can engage with the latch hole 111 of the latching plate 11, thus achieving a latching connection between the dial 20 and the base 10. To unlock this end of the dial 20, simply press the button 26, causing the latch 261 on the button 26 to disengage from the latch hole 111 on the latching plate 11. Therefore, the dial 20 can be quickly disassembled and assembled using the convenient operation of pressing the button 26. To further improve the ease of disassembling and assembling the dial 20, the latch 261 can be provided with a guide surface, so that when the latching plate 11 is inserted into the dial 20, it can abut against and compress the guide surface, causing the button 26 to automatically compress the third elastic element 27. Then, when the latching plate 11 is fully inserted, the button 26 automatically latches onto the latching plate 11 under the action of the third elastic element 27. As can be seen, this allows for the detachable connection between the dial 20 and the base 10 without pressing button 26. The button 26 only needs to be pressed to unlock when disassembling the dial 20 and the base 10. It should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the dial 20 and the base 10 on the side away from the connector 30 can also be elastically connected via two hooks or magnetically.
[0078] In one embodiment of this application, in order to enable the smartwatch 1000 to also have the function of taking pictures of the surrounding environment, a second camera 25 can be provided on the side of the watch face 20 away from the display surface 21.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 1This application also proposes a smartwatch 1000, which includes a dial assembly 100 and a strap 300. The specific structure of the dial assembly 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the smartwatch 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The strap 300 is connected to the base 10 in the dial assembly 100.
