Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smartwatch technology, and more particularly to a detachable main unit structure and a smartwatch. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, various smart wearable devices are permeating all aspects of people's lives, bringing tremendous changes to their daily routines and perceptions. Wearable devices are not merely hardware devices; they achieve their powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Their applications are very broad, including healthcare, fitness, and communication. For example, watches are no longer limited to simply telling time. By embedding intelligent hardware and running a smartphone operating system connected to the network, they can perform various functions such as making calls, sending text messages, emails, viewing photos, and listening to music and videos. Smartwatches are an extension and expansion of smartphone functions, bringing great convenience to people's daily lives.

[0003] Currently, most smartwatches on the market feature a flip-up design, allowing the main unit to rotate relative to its base. This changes the orientation of the screen and camera, facilitating information viewing, video calls, and photography. Normally, the main unit is attached to the base and cannot be detached; it always moves with the user's wrist. This design limits the watch's usability compared to smartphones, restricting its use across various angles, distances, and scenarios, such as taking photos, videos, and viewing information. This significantly restricts its application scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the technical defects existing in the prior art has always been a problem that ordinary people skilled in the art need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable host structure and a smartwatch. The host is detachably assembled via a tray and a base, allowing the host to be used independently from multiple angles, at long distances, and in multiple scenarios after being separated from the base, such as taking photos, recording videos, and viewing information, thereby greatly expanding the application scenarios of the host.

[0021] In some embodiments, the workstation includes a groove formed on the end face of the base;

[0022] The pallet has a plate structure that is adapted to the contour of the groove.

[0023] When the tray is installed inside the groove, the upper end face of the tray is recessed into the opening of the groove or flush with the opening of the groove.

[0024] In some embodiments, the base has a protrusion corresponding to the middle region of the groove, so that the groove forms an annular groove;

[0025] The tray has a hollowed-out section in the middle area, so that the tray forms a ring plate;

[0026] When the tray is installed inside the groove, the protrusion and the hollow part are fitted together; or

[0027] The middle area of ​​the groove is provided with a hollow section;

[0028] The tray has a protrusion in the middle area of ​​one end of the groove body;

[0029] When the tray is installed inside the groove, the protrusion and the hollow part are fitted together.

[0030] In some implementations, the host has a first end and a second end opposite to each other;

[0031] The first end is connected to the tray, and the second end is used to allow the user to apply force with their hand during the rotation of the main unit relative to the tray.

[0050] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0051] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0053] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a detachable host structure 100 in a first aspect, which specifically includes a tray 2, a host 1, a base 3, and a locking member 4. The host 1 is connected to the tray 2, and at least one side of the host 1 has a screen 11 and / or a camera 12. The host 1 can be stacked on the tray 2 or form an angle with the tray 2. The base 3 is provided with a station 31 for setting the tray 2. The locking member 4 is used to lock the tray 2 to the station 31, so that the host 1 is assembled on the base 3, and to release the restriction between the tray 2 and the station 31, so that the host 1 is separated from the base 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, the main unit 1 is connected to the tray 2, and the tray 2 can be assembled and disassembled with the base 3 through the locking component 4, thus enriching the application scenarios of the main unit 1. Specifically, when the tray 2 is locked in the workstation 31, the main unit 1 can work with the base 3 and the watch strap to realize various functions of the smartwatch. During the wearing of the smartwatch, the user can also adjust the tilt angle between the main unit 1 and the tray 2 to obtain the best usage posture. When the tray 2 is unlocked from the workstation 31, the main unit 1 and the tray 2 can be separated from the base 3 and can be used independently for multi-angle, long-distance and multi-scenario functions. For example, the tray 2 can be placed on the support platform to support the main unit 1, enabling the main unit 1 to perform functions such as taking pictures, videos, and viewing information without being restricted by the wrist. The main unit 1 can also rotate freely relative to the tray 2, thus greatly enriching the application scenarios of the main unit 1.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure and form of the locking member 4. It only needs to ensure that it can lock the pallet 2 to the work station 31 and release the limit of the pallet 2 and the work station 31. Any structure is within the protection scope of this patent.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the locking member 4 may include a magnetic attraction assembly acting on the workstation 31 and the tray 2, a first latch 41, a second latch, and an unlocking switch 42. The magnetic attraction assembly is used to guide the tray 2 into the workstation 31 and to prevent the tray 2 from detaching from the workstation 31 after it has entered the workstation 31.

[0057] Specifically, see Figure 2 The first latch 41 is located at station 31. The specific location of the first latch 41 at station 31 is not limited and can be flexibly set according to actual usage needs. For example, it can be located in the middle of one side of station 31, but it is not limited to this. The second latch is located on the tray 2 and corresponds to the first latch 41. When the magnetic suction assembly guides the tray 2 into the station 31, the magnetic suction assembly can always maintain the tray 2 in the position inside the station 31, ensuring that the tray 2 will not easily detach from the station 31 due to the gravity of the host machine 1 or other external forces. Furthermore, the first latch 41 and the second latch engage with each other to securely lock the tray 2 to the station 31. Furthermore, the unlocking switch 42 is applied to the first latch 41 and / or the second latch, and the unlocking switch 42 is operably pressed to separate the first latch 41 and the second latch, thereby releasing the limit between the tray 2 and the work station 31. At this time, the user only needs to apply the force of the main unit 1 to overcome the magnetic attraction of the magnetic component to remove the tray 2 from the work station 31, so that the main unit 1 can be used independently.

[0058] In this embodiment, the specific construction of the first latch 41 and the second latch is not limited in any way. Preferably, the unlocking switch 42 can be set on the side of the tray 2 facing away from the second latch and cooperate with the second latch. By pressing the unlocking switch 42, the user can automatically release the second latch from the limit between the second latch and the first latch 41, causing the first latch 41 to disengage from the second latch. Then, the user continues to hold the pressing position, and at the same time applies the force of the host 1 to overcome the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction component, causing the tray 2 to detach from the workstation 31. When the user needs to install the tray 2 on the workstation 31 again, he only needs to place the tray 2 in a position adjacent to the workstation 31. The tray 2 will be automatically attracted to the workstation 31 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction component. At this time, the first latch 41 and the second latch can automatically engage to automatically lock the tray 2 and the workstation 31.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see also... Figure 2 The magnetic assembly may include a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member that magnetically engage with each other to fix the tray 2 to the work station 31.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the first magnetic attractor may include a plurality of first magnetic blocks 43 disposed inside the workstation 31, and the second magnetic attractor includes a plurality of second magnetic blocks disposed on the tray 2 and magnetically engaging with each of the first magnetic blocks 43. The first magnetic blocks 43 may be embedded in the bottom wall of the workstation 31, and it should be ensured that the first magnetic blocks 43 do not protrude from the bottom wall of the workstation 31, thus effectively preventing the tray 2 from failing to fully fit with the workstation 31. Preferably, the first magnetic blocks 43 may be spaced apart along the peripheral edge of the workstation 31, which greatly improves the overall magnetic attraction effect between the tray 2 and the workstation 31, preventing situations where the magnetic attraction force on the tray 2 is too strong or too weak in certain areas. Furthermore, several second magnetic blocks are positioned at corresponding locations on the tray 2, and it should also be ensured that the second magnetic blocks do not protrude from the end face of the tray 2. In this way, when several first magnetic blocks 43 and several second magnetic blocks magnetically engage one by one, it can be ensured that the tray 2 can fully fit with the work station 31, and there will be no local lifting situation.

[0061] Of course, as another preferred embodiment, the first magnetic component may include a plurality of first magnetic blocks 43 disposed inside the workstation 31. Correspondingly, the tray 2 may be made of a magnetic metal material, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, or a magnetic metal alloy, to form the second magnetic component. This arrangement can also achieve the same technical effect as the above-described solution. Alternatively, the base 3 may be made of a magnetic metal material corresponding to the bottom of the workstation 31, and the end face of the tray 2 may be provided with a plurality of magnetic blocks.

[0062] In other words, this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific type and structure of the first magnetic suction member and the second magnetic suction member. It is only necessary to ensure that the tray 2 can be fully engaged with the work station 31 under the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic suction member and the second magnetic suction member, and will not easily detach from the work station 31. Any structure is within the protection scope of this patent, and will not be listed here.

[0063] This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific outline of the workstation 31, as long as it ensures that the workstation 31 can completely fit the pallet 2. Preferably, the workstation 31 may include a groove formed on the end face of the base 3, and the pallet 2 has a plate structure adapted to the outline of the groove. When the pallet 2 is installed inside the groove, the upper end face of the pallet 2 is recessed into the opening of the groove or flush with the opening of the groove.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, see [link to example]. Figure 2 To effectively improve the stability of the connection between the tray 2 and the base 3, a protrusion 32 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the base 3 corresponding to the groove, so that the groove forms an annular groove. Correspondingly, a hollow portion 21 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the tray 2, so that the tray 2 forms an annular plate. It is worth mentioning that the outlines of the hollow portion 21 and the protrusion 32 are consistent. When the tray 2 is installed inside the groove, the protrusion 32 and the hollow portion 21 are fitted together. In this way, under the limiting effect of the protrusion 32 and the hollow portion 21, the tray 2 can be effectively prevented from easily flipping up from inside the groove. Of course, as another preferred embodiment, a hollow portion 21 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the groove, and a protrusion 32 adapted to the hollow portion 21 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the end of the tray 2 that is used to connect with the groove. When the tray 2 is installed inside the groove, the protrusion 32 and the hollow portion 21 are fitted together.

[0065] It is worth mentioning that a guide slope may preferably be provided in the edge area of ​​the protrusion 32 to guide the tray 2 into the interior of the trough, but it is not limited thereto.

[0066] In this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The main unit 1 has a first end 13 and a second end 14. The first end 13 is used to connect to the tray 2, and the second end 14 is used to provide force for the user's hand during the rotation of the main unit 1 relative to the tray 2.

[0067] Specifically, the first end 13 is provided with a rotating part 131, and the end of the tray 2 is connected to the rotating part 131 via a pivot. Through the rotational cooperation of the pivot and the rotating part 131, the main unit 1 can rotate relative to the tray 2. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the user can accurately adjust the screen 11 and camera 12 of the main unit 1 to the optimal usage position, multi-stage adjustment components can be provided on the rotating part 131 and / or the pivot. These multi-stage adjustment components are used to fix the main unit 1 at any position during the rotation along the tray 2. In this way, the main unit 1 can be fixed in any position according to the user's actual needs, thereby satisfying the user's ability to use the main unit 1 independently like a mobile phone in multiple angles, long distances, and multiple scenarios after it is separated from the base 3, such as taking pictures, recording videos, and viewing information, thereby greatly improving the application scenarios of the main unit 1. Of course, the tray 2 provided in this embodiment can also serve as a support. It can be placed independently on a support platform, such as the ground or a tabletop, to support the host 1, so that the host 1 can perform functions such as taking pictures, videos, and viewing information at the optimal tilt angle without being restricted by the wrist, thereby greatly enriching the application scenarios of the host 1.

[0068] Further, see Figure 2 The second end 14 of the main unit 1 is provided with an operating part 141 for the user to apply force with their hand. The user can directly touch the operating part 141 to flip the main unit 1 off the base 3, so that the screen 11 and the camera 12 can face the user's face, making it convenient for the user to view information and take videos. Of course, after use, the user can further touch the operating part 141 to fold the main unit 1 back onto the base 3.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to effectively prevent the main unit 1 from easily flipping off the base 3 following the user's wrist movements after being stacked on the base 3, it is preferable that the second end 14 has a locking part 142 and a locking groove 33 on the side facing away from the screen 11, and the base 3 has a locking part 142 and a locking groove 33 corresponding to the position of the second end 14. When the main unit 1 is attached to the base 3, the locking part 142 and the locking groove 33 engage to lock the main unit 1 to the base 3. When the user wants to flip the main unit 1, the main unit 1 can be separated from the base 3 by applying a force to the operating part 141 that overcomes the locking action of the locking part 142 and the locking groove 33.

[0070] Preferably, the side of the second end 14 facing away from the screen 11 has two opposing latching portions 142, and the base 3 has two matching latching slots 33 corresponding to the position of the second end 14. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the latching portions 142 and the latching slots 33, and can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, all of which are within the protection scope of this patent, and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Further, see Figure 3 The camera 12 can preferably be located on the side of the screen 11 away from the first end 13, and preferably centered. This angle can greatly improve the imaging effect, but it is not limited to this.

[0072] Of course, the present invention also provides a smartwatch in a second aspect, specifically including a watch strap and the detachable main unit structure 100 provided in the first aspect of the present invention. The base 3 has a first mounting portion 34 and a second mounting portion 35 disposed opposite to each other. The first mounting portion 34 is used to mount one end of the watch strap, and the second mounting portion 35 is used to mount the other end of the watch strap. It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the watch strap can be a single, integral elastic band; of course, it can also be two separate straps fastened together by a buckle, both of which are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0073] When using this smartwatch, users can adjust the tilt angle of the main unit 1 relative to the base 3 according to their own habits to change the angle of video and photo taking, thereby achieving better call and photo taking effects. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent wrist discomfort caused by excessive video time, and obtain the best shooting angle without adjusting the wrist angle during photo taking, providing users with a better user experience when using this smartwatch.

[0074] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
