[0053] A smart ring is a wearable device that integrates multiple functions such as health management, sports monitoring, and communication.

[0054] At present, common smart rings are worn on fingers, which makes the usage scenarios of smart rings relatively simple.

[0055] The present invention provides a smart ring.

[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the smart ring includes a ring body 10, the ring body 10 is configured with a flexible material and has two detachable ends, the smart ring has a flattened state and a ring state, in the flattened state, the ring body 10 is unfolded into a long strip; in the ring state, the ring body 10 is curled into a ring.

[0057] Specifically, the ring body 10 is configured with a flexible material so that the ring body 10 can be bent at different angles, and the two ends of the ring body 10 can be connected together or separated. In this way, the smart ring has a flattened state and a ringed state, such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the smart ring is in a flattened state, the ring body 10 is unfolded into a long strip. At this time, the flattened smart ring can be hung on a backpack or other items as a pendant. Figure 2 As shown, when the smart ring is in a ring state, the ring body 10 is curled into a ring shape. At this time, the ring-shaped smart ring can be worn on the finger to realize the function of the ring.

[0058] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention sets the smart ring to a flattened state and a looped state, so that the smart ring is unfolded into a long strip in the flattened state to be used as a pendant; the smart ring is curled into a ring in the looped state to realize the function of a ring. In this way, the use scenarios of the smart ring are increased, the application scope of the smart ring is improved, and the use interest of the smart ring is also improved.

[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the flattened state, the ring body is in the shape of a long strip that is unfolded 180 degrees or bent at a predetermined angle; in the ring-formed state, the ring body is curled into a closed ring or an open ring.

[0060] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the flattened state of the smart ring includes a long strip state unfolded 180 degrees and a long strip state bent at a predetermined angle. It is worth noting that the predetermined angle can be any angle, and there is no restriction on the predetermined angle here. It can be understood that the ring body is configured with a flexible material and can be bent at will, so that the ring body can be bent to any angle. When the flattened smart ring is used as a pendant, the user can bend the ring body according to personal preference, thereby increasing the diversity of the smart ring as a pendant.

[0061] The ring state of the smart ring includes a closed ring and an open ring. The size of the opening is not limited here, as long as the smart ring in the ring state can be worn on the finger. In this way, the application range of the smart ring is expanded, and the use diversity of the smart ring worn on the finger is also increased.

[0062] See also Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the ring body 10 includes a flexible bracket 100, a first flexible component 210 and a second flexible component 220, the flexible bracket 100 has a first end 110 and a second end 120; the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the flexible bracket 100; in the ring state, the first end 110 and the second end 120 are connected to form a closed ring, and one of the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 is the inner ring of the smart ring, and the other is the outer ring of the smart ring.

[0063] Specifically, in order to switch between the flattened state and the ringed state of the smart ring, the ring body 10 includes a flexible bracket 100, a first flexible component 210 and a second flexible component 220. It can be understood that the use of flexible materials allows the ring body 10 to bend and curl at different angles (such as Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1 , the flexible material may be selected from silicone, rubber, etc., and the materials of the flexible bracket 100, the first flexible component 210, and the second flexible component 220 are not limited. The first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the flexible bracket 100.

[0064] When the smart ring is in a ring state, the first end 110 and the second end 120 of the flexible bracket 100 are connected to form a closed ring, and one of the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 is selected as the inner ring of the smart ring, and the other is selected as the outer ring of the ring, so as to form a closed ring smart ring. The inner ring and the outer ring of the smart ring are optional, so that the smart ring does not need to distinguish the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 when forming a ring, and there is no restriction on the ring state of the smart ring, which improves the user experience of the smart ring.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 are different. That is, the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 may be different in at least one of material, appearance, detection components, etc., so that the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 have different wearing experiences, different aesthetics, different detection functions, etc., so that the smart ring has different use effects in the ring state.

[0066] In this way, the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 are set differently, so that when the smart ring is in a ring state, the user can select the inner ring and the outer ring of the ring according to needs, thereby further improving the usage scenarios of the smart ring and increasing the diversity of the smart ring.

[0067] See also Figures 3 to 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, the first flexible component 210 includes a first airbag 211, and the first airbag 211 and the flexible bracket 100 form a sealed first air cavity 212; the second flexible component 220 includes a second airbag 221, and the second airbag 221 and the flexible bracket 100 form a sealed second air cavity 222; the smart ring also includes an inflation and deflation device 400, which is used to inflate and deflate the first air cavity 212 and the second air cavity 222.

[0068] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 are both configured as airbags. The flexible bracket 100 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first airbag 211 and the first side of the flexible bracket 100 form a first air chamber 212, and the second airbag 221 and the second side of the flexible bracket 100 form a second air chamber 222. It can be understood that the first air chamber 212 and the second air chamber 222 both need to contain gas, and to avoid accidental escape of gas, the first air chamber 212 and the second air chamber 222 need to be sealed. In one embodiment, the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221 are respectively bonded and sealed with the flexible bracket 100 by glue. At the same time, the smart ring is also provided with an inflation and deflation device 400 to inflate and deflate the first air chamber 212 and the second air chamber 222.

[0069] See also Figure 4 It can be understood that the air pressure in the first air cavity 212 and the second air cavity 222 can be adjusted by inflating and deflating the first air cavity 212 and the second air cavity 222. When the smart ring is in a flattened state, the air pressure in the first air cavity 212 and the second air cavity 222 is equal. When the smart ring is in a ring state and the first flexible component 210 is selected as the outer ring, the air pressure in the first air cavity 212 needs to be greater than the second air cavity 222, so that the first flexible component 210 protrudes in a direction away from the second flexible component 220, thereby driving the flexible bracket 100 and the second flexible component 220 to bend and curl in the same direction. In one embodiment, the first air cavity 212 can be inflated, or the first air cavity 212 can be inflated and the second air cavity 222 can be deflated at the same time, so that the air pressure in the first air cavity 212 is greater than the second air cavity 222, so that the first flexible component 210 can be used as the outer ring of the smart ring.

[0070] When the second flexible component 220 is used as the inner ring of the smart ring, the air pressure in the second air cavity 222 needs to be greater than that in the first air cavity 212, which will not be elaborated here.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the ring body 10 may adopt a structure similar to that of a flexible member, and the first flexible component 210 and the second flexible component 220 may be configured as silicone, rubber, etc. When selecting the inner ring and the outer ring of the smart ring, the ring body 10 may be manually moved to select and switch the inner ring and the outer ring.

[0072] See also Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, the gas charging and discharging device 400 is provided with one, and the gas charging and discharging device 400 is used to extract the gas in one of the first gas containing cavity 212 and the second gas containing cavity 222, and fill it into the other one.

[0073] Specifically, in the scheme shown in the figure of the present invention, a gas charging and discharging device 400 installed on the ring body 10 is provided in the smart ring, and the gas charging and discharging device 400 extracts the gas in the first gas chamber 212 or the second gas chamber 222 and fills it into the other gas chamber. That is, when adjusting the air pressure in the first gas chamber 212 and the second gas chamber 222, the gas in the first gas chamber 212 is transferred to the second gas chamber 222, or the gas in the second gas chamber 222 is transferred to the first gas chamber 212, so as to achieve the selection of the inner ring and the outer ring. In this way, by providing a gas charging and discharging device 400, the air pressure of the first gas chamber 212 and the second gas chamber 222 can be adjusted, the number of gas charging and discharging devices 400 is reduced, and excessive installation space is avoided, which is conducive to the lightweight and low cost of the smart ring.

[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, two inflation and deflation devices 400 may also be provided, one for inflating and deflation of the first air cavity 212, and the other for inflating and deflation of the second air cavity 222, thereby realizing the selection of the inner ring and the outer ring of the smart ring.

[0075] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, the smart ring also includes a flexible circuit board 500, on which a controller (not shown) is mounted, a first detection component 213 electrically connected to the controller is mounted on the inner side wall of the first air bag 211, and a second detection component 223 electrically connected to the controller is mounted on the inner side wall of the second air bag 221.

[0076] Specifically, it can be understood that when the smart ring is in a ring state and the first flexible component 210 serves as an inner ring, after the smart ring is worn, the first detection member 213 can contact the finger to detect human body data. When the second flexible component 220 serves as an inner ring, the second detection member 223 can contact the finger to detect human body data. The controller is used to receive the human body data detected by the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223, and process the human body data. The first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 can be used to detect the heart rate, motion information, sound information, etc. of the human body. After the controller receives and processes the heart rate, motion information, sound information and other data, it can be transmitted to an external device via Bluetooth, or transmitted to the human ear, etc.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221 are made of the same material, and the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 are different. In this way, different functional detections can be achieved by selecting the first flexible component 210 or the second flexible component 220 as the inner circle. In another embodiment, the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221 are made of different materials, and the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 are the same. In this way, different wearing experiences can be selected by selecting the first flexible component 210 or the second flexible component 220 as the inner circle. In yet another embodiment, the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221 are made of different materials, and the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 are different. In this way, different functional detections and different wearing experiences can be selected by selecting the first flexible component 210 or the second flexible component 220 as the inner circle.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first detection element 213 includes a bone conduction sensor and a pressure sensor, and the second detection element 223 includes an electrode.

[0079] When using the smart ring, the first flexible component 210 is in contact with the human head, so that the bone conduction sensor detects the vibration signal of the head bone when the user speaks, and transmits the vibration signal to the controller. The controller receives the vibration signal and converts it into a sound signal, and then transmits it. In this way, the call clarity of the smart ring can be improved and the noise reduction effect can be achieved. The pressure sensor can be used to detect the tightness of the contact between the first flexible component 210 and the head. In one embodiment, when the pressure value reaches a preset pressure value, the controller controls the inflation and deflation device 400 to stop inflating the first flexible component 210. In one embodiment, the bone conduction sensor and the pressure sensor are embedded in the inner side of the first airbag 211 by in-mold injection molding. The top surface of the molded bone conduction sensor and pressure sensor has a thin airbag layer. Since the first airbag 211 is a stretchable material, the bone conduction sensor and the pressure sensor can obtain conduction information and pressure information through the elastic airbag layer.

[0080] The electrodes can be used to detect the heart rate, movement information, etc. of the human body. In one embodiment, the electrode is embedded in the inner side of the second airbag 221 by in-mold injection molding, and the second airbag 221 has a certain stretchability, that is, the top surface of the electrode is covered with an airbag layer that does not affect the electrical performance, so that the electrode can obtain the electromyographic signal of the human body. In another embodiment, the top surface of the electrode is directly exposed to the outside so that the top surface of the electrode is in direct contact with the skin. It is worth noting that when the top surface of the electrode is directly exposed to the outside, the leaking part needs to be sealed to avoid the escape of gas from the second air chamber 222.

[0081] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible circuit board 500 includes a first circuit board 510 and a second circuit board 520 connected to each other. The first circuit board 510 is located in the first air cavity 212 and is electrically connected to the first detection member 213. The second circuit board 520 is located in the second air cavity 222 and is electrically connected to the second detection member 223.

[0082] Specifically, in order to facilitate the electrical connection between the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 and the controller, the flexible circuit board 500 is divided into a first circuit board 510 and a second circuit board 520. The first circuit board 510 is located in the first air chamber 212 and is electrically connected to the first detection member 213, and the second circuit board 520 is located in the second air chamber 222 and is electrically connected to the second detection member 223. In one embodiment, the flexible bracket 100 is provided with a first limiting groove 151 and a second limiting groove (not shown) on both sides thereof, and a connecting groove 153 connecting the first limiting groove 151 and the second limiting groove is also provided on the flexible bracket 100, the first circuit board 510 is installed in the first limiting groove 151, the second circuit board 520 is installed in the second limiting groove, and the first circuit board 510 and the second circuit board 520 are connected through the connecting groove 153. In one embodiment, the first circuit board 510 and the second circuit board 520 are an integrated structure, and the flexible circuit board 500 is bent at the connection between the first circuit board 510 and the second circuit board 520 so that the first circuit board 510 and the second circuit board 520 are in a stacked state.

[0083] Please click on the monthly Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 510 and the second circuit board 520 respectively through the connecting member 512. It can be understood that during the use of the smart ring, the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221 are in expansion and contraction states. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the electrical connection between the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 and the controller during the expansion and contraction of the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221, a bending portion 513 is provided on the connecting member 512. The bending portion 513 stretches and bends with the expansion and contraction of the airbag, thereby avoiding the failure of the connection between the first detection member 213 and the second detection member 223 and the controller.

[0084] Please refer to 6. In an embodiment of the present invention, the inflation and deflation device 400 is installed on the flexible circuit board 500. The inflation and deflation device 400 includes a motor 410, a first air duct 420 and a second air duct 430. The motor 410 is electrically connected to the controller, and the two ends of the first air duct 420 are respectively connected to the motor 410 and the first air chamber 212, and the two ends of the second air duct 430 are respectively connected to the motor 410 and the second air chamber 222.

[0085] Specifically, the inflation and deflation device 400 is mounted on the flexible circuit board 500, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the motor 410 and the controller. In one embodiment, the inflation and deflation device 400 is provided with one, and the inflation and deflation device 400 can be mounted on the first circuit board 510 or the second circuit board 520. In the following, the inflation and deflation device 400 is mounted on the first circuit board 510 as an example for description.

[0086] The motor 410 provides power for the inflation and deflation of the first air-containing cavity 212 and the second air-containing cavity 222, and the motor 410 is electrically connected to the controller. In one embodiment, the first detection member 213 includes a bone conduction sensor and a pressure sensor electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the controller can control the operation of the motor 410 according to the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor. The motor 410 is provided with a first connection port and a second connection port, the first connection port is used to connect to the first air duct 420, and the second connection port is used to connect to the second air duct 430. In this way, the first air-containing cavity 212, the first air duct 420, the first connection port, the second connection port, the second air duct 430, and the second air-containing cavity 222 are connected in sequence.

[0087] It is worth noting that only when the inflation and deflation device 400 is working, the first connection port and the second connection port of the motor 410 are connected, and the gas in the first air chamber 212 and the second air chamber 222 can flow. When the inflation and deflation device 400 is not working, the first connection port and the second connection port of the motor 410 are not connected, that is, the first air chamber 212 and the second air chamber 222 are not connected, and the two are independent and sealed.

[0088] When the inflation and deflation device 400 is installed on the first circuit board 510, in order to achieve the connection between the second air duct 430 and the second air chamber 222, a first connecting hole 511 is set on the first circuit board 510, a second connecting hole 521 is set on the second circuit board 520, and an intermediate connecting hole 1116 is set on the flexible bracket 100. The second air duct 430 passes through the first connecting hole 511, the intermediate connecting hole 1116 and the second connecting hole 521, and extends into the second air chamber 222 to control the inflation and deflation of the second air chamber 222. It is worth noting that the second air duct 430 and the first connecting hole 511, the middle connecting hole 1116 and the second connecting hole 521 need to be sealed to prevent gas from escaping from the gap between the second air duct 430 and the first connecting hole 511, the gap between the second air duct 430 and the middle connecting hole 1116, and the gap between the second air duct 430 and the second connecting hole 521, so as to ensure the sealing of the first air cavity 212 and the second air cavity 222.

[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, two inflation and deflation devices 400 may be provided to respectively control the inflation and deflation of the first air chamber 212 and the inflation and deflation of the second air chamber 222. Taking the inflation and deflation device 400 controlling the inflation and deflation of the first air chamber 212 as an example, in one embodiment, the inflation and deflation device 400 is configured as an air cylinder connected to the first air bag 211, and a piston rod is provided in the air cylinder, and the piston rod is electrically connected to the controller. When the first air bag 211 needs to be inflated, the controller controls the piston rod to move so as to press the gas in the air cylinder into the first air bag 211. When the first air bag 211 needs to be deflated, the controller controls the piston rod to move so as to suck the excess gas in the first air bag 211 into the air cylinder. In this way, the inflation and deflation of the first air bag 211 can also be controlled.

[0090] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the first end 110 is provided with an inserting plate 111 , and the second end 120 is provided with a slot 121 , and the inserting plate 111 is inserted into the slot 121 to connect the first end 110 and the second end 120 .

[0091] Specifically, when the smart ring switches from the flattened state to the ringed state, the inflation and deflation device 400 inflates and deflates the first airbag 211 and the second airbag 221, thereby bending the ring body 10. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 2 When the ring body 10 is bent to a certain angle, the insert plate 111 can be inserted into the slot 121, so that the first end 110 and the second end 120 are connected, and the ring body 10 is curled into a ring. Of course, in other embodiments, the connection between the first end 110 and the second end 120 can also be a snap connection, a screw connection, etc.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, a depth adjustment component is provided between the plug plate 111 and the slot 121, and the depth adjustment component is used to adjust the depth of the plug plate 111 inserted into the slot 121, so as to adjust the size of the smart ring in the ring state. In this way, the depth adjustment component is provided so that the insertion depth between the plug plate 111 and the slot 121 can be adjusted. When the insertion depth between the plug plate 111 and the slot 121 is shallow, the caliber of the inner ring of the smart ring is larger; when the insertion depth between the plug plate 111 and the slot 121 is deep, the caliber of the inner ring of the smart ring is smaller, thereby realizing the adjustment of the size of the smart ring, so that the smart ring can be worn on fingers of different thicknesses, so that the smart ring can be suitable for more users and the scope of use of the smart ring is improved.

[0093] See also Figure 7 and Fig.10In an embodiment of the present invention, the depth adjustment assembly includes a gear assembly 300 and a rack 1211. Two opposite mounting arms 1111 are provided at the end of the plug plate 111. The two mounting arms 1111 are respectively provided with mounting holes 1112. The gear assembly 300 is installed between the two mounting holes 1112. The gear assembly 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 and a gear member 320. The gear member 320 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 310 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 310. The two ends of the rotating shaft 310 are respectively extended into the two mounting holes 1112 and can rotate relative to the two mounting holes 1112. A rack 1211 is provided in the slot 121. In a ring-forming state, the rack 1211 is meshed with the gear member 320.

[0094] Specifically, the depth adjustment assembly includes a gear assembly 300 and a rack 1211. Two opposing mounting arms 1111 are provided at the free end of the plug plate 111. An installation space for the gear assembly 300 is formed between the two mounting arms 1111. The gear assembly 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 and a gear member 320. The gear member 320 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 310, and the two cannot rotate relative to each other, that is, the gear member 320 and the rotating shaft 310 rotate synchronously. To ensure that the gear can rotate, the rotating shaft 310 and the mounting hole 1112 are clearance-matched, so that the rotating shaft 310 can rotate relative to the mounting hole 1112. In one embodiment, the mounting hole 1112 is an oblong hole, so that the rotating shaft 310 can rotate relative to the mounting hole 1112 while also moving in the mounting hole 1112, thereby facilitating the smoothness of the plugging of the first end 110 and the second end 120. A rack 1211 is provided in the slot 121. When the plug board 111 is inserted into the slot 121, the gear member 320 meshes with the rack 1211, thereby realizing the connection between the first end 110 and the second end 120. At the same time, the gear member 320 can rotate relative to the rack 1211. By meshing the gear member 320 with the rack 1211 at different positions, the depth of the plug board 111 inserted into the slot 121 can be adjusted, and the size of the smart ring can be adjusted, thereby realizing the stepless adjustment of the size of the smart ring.

[0095] See also Figure 3 and Fig.10 In one embodiment, the flexible bracket 100 includes a bracket body 131, and the bracket body 131 is formed with a plug plate 111 at the first end 110, and two supporting legs 132 are formed at the second end 120, and a cover 140 is provided outside the two supporting legs 132. The cover 140 includes a first cover body 141 and a second cover body 142 that are connected to each other, and a rack 1211 is provided on the first cover body 141 or the second cover body 142. After the first cover body 141 and the second cover body 142 are covered, a slot 121 is formed, and the rack 1211 is located in the slot 121. At the same time, after the first cover body 141 and the second cover body 142 are covered, two supporting grooves are formed to accommodate the two supporting legs 132. In this way, the molding of the slot 121 is facilitated.

[0096] Of course, in other embodiments, a plug-in buckle can be further provided on the plug-in plate 111, and a plurality of plug-in protrusions can be provided in the slot 121 at intervals along its depth direction. When the plug-in buckle is connected to different plug-in protrusions, the smart ring can have different sizes, thereby achieving the size adjustment of the smart ring.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present invention, the gear assembly 300 further includes a locking member, which is used to limit the relative movement of the gear member 320 and the rack 1211. Thus, the provision of the locking member improves the stability and reliability of the size maintenance when the smart ring is adjusted to a suitable size, avoids the loosening of the smart ring during wearing, and is beneficial to the wearing safety of the smart ring.

[0098] See also Figures 7 to 9 In the embodiment of the present invention, the gear member 320 includes a first gear 321 and a second gear 322. The first gear 321 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 310, and the second gear 322 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 310 and can move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 310. The locking member includes an electromagnet 3211 provided at one end of the first gear 321 close to the second gear 322, a permanent magnet (not shown) provided at one end of the second gear 322 close to the first gear 321, a stop bolt 3222 provided at one end of the second gear 322 close to the mounting arm 1111, and a stop bolt 3222 provided at one end of the second gear 322 close to the mounting arm 1111. 11 is close to the limiting hole 1113 on the side of the second gear 322; when the gear part 320 meshes and rolls relative to the rack 1211, the polarity of the control electromagnet 3211 is opposite to the polarity of the permanent magnet, so that the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 are adsorbed and connected, and the limiting bolt 3222 is disengaged from the limiting hole 1113; when the gear part 320 and the rack 1211 are locked, the polarity of the control electromagnet 3211 is the same as the polarity of the permanent magnet, so that the second gear 322 is away from the first gear 321, and the limiting bolt 3222 extends into the limiting hole 1113.

[0099] Specifically, in the solution shown in the figure of the present invention, the locking member is configured as an electromagnetic control member. The gear member 320 includes a first gear 321 and a second gear 322, wherein the first gear 321 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 310, and the second gear 322 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 310 and can move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 310. Fig. 9As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating shaft 310 is provided with a clamping groove 311 on its outer surface, and the clamping groove 311 extends along its axial direction but does not penetrate, so that the clamping groove 311 has a groove bottom. The inner walls of the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 are provided with a penetrating clamping protrusion 3212 along their axial direction, and the clamping protrusion 3212 of the first gear 321 is clamped into the clamping groove 311, and one end of the clamping protrusion 3212 of the first gear 321 is abutted against the groove bottom of the clamping groove 311, thereby realizing the axial limitation of the first gear 321, and at the same time, a sealant is applied between the first gear 321 and the rotating shaft 310, so that the first gear 321 is fixed on the rotating shaft 310. The clamping protrusion 3212 of the second gear 322 is clamped into the clamping groove 311, so that the second gear 322 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 310, and the two rotate synchronously. It can be understood that along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 310 , the length of the rotating shaft 310 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 , so that the second gear 322 can slide on the rotating shaft 310 after being sleeved on the rotating shaft 310 .

[0100] The locking member includes an electromagnet 3211, a permanent magnet, a stop bolt 3222 and a stop hole 1113, wherein the electromagnet 3211 is mounted on the end face of the first gear 321 facing the second gear 322, and the permanent magnet is mounted on the end face of the second gear 322 facing the first gear 321. The stop bolt 3222 is disposed on the end face of the second gear 322 close to the mounting arm 1111, and the stop hole 1113 is disposed on the mounting arm 1111 close to the second gear 322.

[0101] In this way, when the gear part 320 moves relative to the rack 1211, the polarity of the electromagnet 3211 is controlled to be opposite to that of the permanent magnet, so that the electromagnet 3211 and the permanent magnet are attracted to each other, so that the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 are abutted against each other, and the second gear 322 is away from the mounting arm 1111, so that the limit bolt 3222 and the limit hole 1113 are away from each other, so that the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 can rotate synchronously to adjust the size of the smart ring.

[0102] When the locking gear member 320 and the rack 1211 move, the polarity of the control electromagnet 3211 is the same as that of the permanent magnet, so that the electromagnet 3211 and the permanent magnet repel each other. Since the first gear 321 is fixed, the second gear 322 moves away from the first gear 321 and close to the mounting arm 1111, so that the limiting bolt 322 extends into the limiting hole 1113, so that the second gear 322 is away from the first gear 321 and fixed on the mounting arm 1111. In this way, the second gear 322 cannot rotate, and the first gear 321 cannot move relative to the rack 1211, thereby locking the gear member 320 on the rack 1211.

[0103] In one embodiment, the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 have the same structure, which facilitates the molding and assembly of the gear member 320. In another embodiment, the number of teeth of the first gear 321 is an integer multiple of the number of teeth of the second gear 322, and the first gear 321 is meshed with the rack 1211, and the second gear 322 is also meshed with the rack 1211, so that the rotation and locking of the gear member 320 relative to the rack 1211 can also be achieved.

[0104] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member may also be a retractable stopper, which is mounted on the mounting arm 1111, and when the rotation of the gear member 320 needs to be locked, the stopper is controlled to extend and abut against the meshing teeth of the gear member 320, thereby limiting the rotation and movement of the gear member 320 relative to the rack.

[0105] See also Fig. 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, the gear assembly 300 further includes a gear circuit board 330 electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 500 , and the electromagnet 3211 is mounted on the gear circuit board 330 .

[0106] Specifically, in the scheme shown in the figure of the present invention, the electromagnet 3211 is installed on the gear circuit board 330, and the gear circuit board 330 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 500, so as to realize the power supply of the electromagnet 3211. In one embodiment, the gear circuit board 330 includes a connecting section 331, a winding section 332, a penetration section 333 and a mounting section 334 connected in sequence, wherein the connecting section 331 is in a long strip shape and is used to be electrically connected to the first circuit board 510 or the second circuit board 520. The winding section 332 is used to be wound on the rotating shaft 310. It can be understood that after the gear circuit board 330 is wound on the rotating shaft 310 for several turns, when the gear member 320 rotates, the setting of the winding section 332 reduces the rotation resistance of the gear member 320. The penetration section 333 is used to pass through the central hole of the first gear 321, so that the mounting section 334 is set at one end of the first gear 321 facing the second gear 322. The mounting section 334 is mounted on one end of the first gear 321 facing the second gear 322. In one embodiment, the mounting section 334 is semicircular, and an electromagnet 3211 is mounted on both ends of the mounting section 334. In one embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the mounting section 334 and the first gear 321, a circuit board receiving groove 3213 is provided on one end of the first gear 321 facing the second gear 322. The circuit board receiving groove 3213 is adapted to the structure of the mounting section 334, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the electromagnet 3211 and the controller.

[0107] See also Figure 3In one embodiment, the flexible bracket 100 is provided with an avoidance groove 1114 at a position close to the first end 110, and the avoidance groove 1114 is used for installing the connecting section 331 of the gear circuit board 330. The avoidance groove 1114 is covered with a sealing cover plate 1115 to ensure the sealing of the gear circuit board 330.
