Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wearable devices, and specifically relates to a wearable device. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, smart watches, as a wearable product, are becoming more and more popular among users. Smart watches can be controlled by the crown, that is, by rotating the crown, you can zoom the desktop and enter a certain application, and then by rotating the crown, you can scroll through the content in multiple applications or select menu items up and down. This interaction method can overcome the inconvenience of touch-screen zooming / sliding interaction of small-screen products such as watches, and can also overcome the scene where the touch screen cannot work underwater, bringing a good interactive experience.

[0003] The current crown designs of smart watches are mainly based on light-encoded digital crowns and light-tracing digital crowns. However, the structures of these two crowns are relatively complex and difficult to process, resulting in higher costs for smart watches.

[0004] Based on the above reasons, the solution of magnetically encoded digital crown has attracted more and more attention. The magnetically encoded digital crown detects the rotation angle of the crown through magnetic field detection, which is low-cost and helps to reduce the cost of smart watches. However, the magnetically encoded digital crown will be affected by the surrounding magnetic field strength. When the surrounding magnetic field strength is high, it will affect the normal operation of the magnetically encoded digital crown. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application aims to provide a wearable device that can solve the technical problem in the related art that the magnetically encoded digital crown cannot operate normally due to the influence of high-intensity magnetic fields.

[0006] The present application embodiment provides a wearable device, including:

[0007] A housing, wherein a controller is disposed in the housing;

[0008] A rotating assembly, one end of which is inserted into the housing and the other end of which is located outside the housing;

[0009] A magnetic detection component is arranged on one side of the rotating component in the housing and is connected to the controller. The magnetic detection component is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component.

[0010] A gyroscope detection component is arranged on the rotating component and connected to the controller, and the gyroscope detection component is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component;

[0011] Wherein, when the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component is less than the first strength, the controller obtains the rotation angle of the rotating component according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component;

[0012] When the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component is greater than or equal to the first strength, the controller obtains the rotation angle of the rotating component according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component.

[0013] The wearable device of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a magnetic detection component and a gyroscope detection component to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component. When the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is low, the magnetic detection component can operate normally, and the controller can detect the rotation angle of the rotating component according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component. On the contrary, when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is high, the controller can control the operation of the gyroscope detection component, so as to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component, so that when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is high, the rotation angle of the rotating component can still be obtained, and then the controller can control the operation of the wearable device according to the rotation angle of the rotating component, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device. In addition, compared with the optically encoded digital crown and the light tracing digital crown, the cost of the magnetic detection component and the gyroscope detection component is lower, thereby reducing the cost of the wearable device while ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device.

[0025] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 A wearable device according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, a wearable device is provided. Figure 1 One of the structural schematic diagrams of the wearable device according to the embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 2 A second structural schematic diagram of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 FIG. 3 shows a structural schematic diagram of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the wearable device 100 includes: a shell 102, in which a controller 104 is arranged; a rotating component 106, one end of which is inserted into the shell 102, and the other end of which is located outside the shell 102; a magnetic detection component 108, which is arranged on one side of the rotating component 106 located in the shell 102 and connected to the controller 104, and the magnetic detection component 108 is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106; a gyroscope detection component 110, which is arranged in the rotating component 106 and connected to the controller 104, and the gyroscope detection component 110 is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106; wherein, when the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component 108 is less than the first strength, the controller 104 is used to obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component 108, and when the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component 108 is greater than or equal to the first strength, the controller 104 is used to obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the wearable device 100 includes a shell 102, a controller 104 is disposed in the shell 102, one end of a rotating component 106 is inserted into the shell 102, and the other end is located outside the shell 102, and by rotating the rotating component 106, the controller 104 can control the wearable device 100 according to the rotation of the rotating component 106. For example, the time displayed on the wearable device 100 can be adjusted through the rotating component 106, or the rotating component 106 can be used to zoom the desktop of the wearable device 100 and enter a certain application, and then the rotating component 106 can be used to scroll through content in multiple applications or select menu items up and down.

[0028] Furthermore, the wearable device 100 also includes a magnetic detection component 108, through which the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be detected, and then the controller 104 can control the wearable device 100 to run a corresponding control program according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Specifically, the magnetic detection component 108 can be arranged on one side of the rotating component 106 located inside the housing 102, so that during the rotation of the rotating component 106, the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be detected, and the magnetic detection component 108 is also connected to the controller 104, so that the controller 104 can receive the detection signal of the magnetic monitoring component, and then obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component 108, and then control the wearable device 100 to run a corresponding control program.

[0029] Further, the wearable device 100 also includes a gyroscope detection component 110, which can be arranged on the rotating component 106, specifically, on the side of the rotating component 106 located inside the housing 102, or on the part of the rotating component 106 located outside the housing 102. Accordingly, the gyroscope detection component 110 can also detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106, and then the controller 104 can control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Specifically, the gyroscope detection component 110 can be arranged on the rotating component 106, so that the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be detected during the rotation of the rotating component 106, and the gyroscope detection component 110 is also connected to the controller 104, so that the controller 104 can receive the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110, and then obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110, and then control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program.

[0030] Furthermore, the magnetic detection component 108 can also detect the magnetic field strength around it. It can be understood that the magnetic detection component 108 uses the change of the magnetic field to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Therefore, the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component 108 will affect the detection result of the magnetic detection component 108. That is, when the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component 108 is high, the detection result of the magnetic detection component 108 will be biased, which will affect the control process of the rotating component 106 on the wearable device 100, causing the rotating component 106 to fail. The magnetic detection component 108 detects the magnetic field strength around it. When the magnetic field strength is less than the first strength, the controller 104 can normally receive the detection signal of the magnetic detection component 108, and obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component 108, thereby controlling the operation of the wearable device 100. On the contrary, if the magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to the first strength, the detection result of the magnetic detection component 108 on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 may be biased. Therefore, the controller 104 can control the operation of the gyroscope detection component 110, and obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110, and then control the operation of the wearable device 100. Therefore, when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, the wearable device 100 can still be controlled by the rotating component 106, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device 100.

[0031] The wearable device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a magnetic detection component 108 and a gyroscope detection component 110 to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. When the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is low, the magnetic detection component 108 can operate normally, and the controller 104 can detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the magnetic detection component 108, and then the controller 104 controls the operation of the wearable device 100 according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. On the contrary, when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, the controller 104 can control the operation of the gyroscope detection component 110, so as to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110, so that when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can still be obtained, and then the controller can control the operation of the wearable device 100 according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device 100. Moreover, compared with the light-encoded digital crown and the light-tracing digital crown, the cost of the magnetic detection component 108 and the gyroscope detection component 110 is lower, thereby reducing the cost of the wearable device 100 while ensuring that the wearable device 100 can operate normally.

[0032] For example, Figure 4 A flow chart showing a control process of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the control process of the wearable device is as follows:

[0033] Step 402, turning on the magnetic detection component to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component;

[0034] Step 404, determining whether the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is greater than or equal to the first strength; if yes, executing step 406, if no, executing step 414;

[0035] Step 406, detecting the rotation angle of the control component by means of a gyroscope detection component;

[0036] Step 408, determining whether the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is greater than or equal to the first strength; if yes, executing step 410, if no, executing step 412;

[0037] Step 410, continue to detect the rotation angle of the control component through the gyroscope detection component;

[0038] Step 412, turning off the gyroscope detection component, and detecting the rotation angle of the control component through the magnetic detection component;

[0039] Step 414, continue detecting the rotation angle of the control component through the magnetic detection component.

[0040] Specifically, during the operation of the wearable device 100, first, the magnetic detection component 108 is turned on to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. At the same time, the magnetic detection component 108 is used to detect whether the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is greater than or equal to the first strength. If not, the magnetic detection component 108 is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. If so, the gyroscope detection component 110 is controlled to be turned on, and the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 is detected by the gyroscope detection component 110. Then, the magnetic detection component 108 is used to continuously detect the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 to determine whether the magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to the first strength. If so, the gyroscope detection component 110 is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. If not, the gyroscope detection component 110 is turned off, and the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 is detected by the magnetic detection component 108.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating component 106 includes: a rotating shaft 112, one end of which is inserted into the shell 102; a knob 114, which is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 112; the magnetic detection component 108 includes: a magnetic member 116, which is arranged on the rotating shaft 112; a magnetic sensor 142, which is arranged in the controller 104, and the magnetic sensor 142 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic member 116, and the magnetic sensor 142 is used to determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 according to the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 116.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating component 106 includes a rotating shaft 112 and a knob 114, wherein one end of the rotating shaft 112 is inserted into the shell 102, and the knob 114 is outside the shell 102. The user can rotate the knob 114 to drive the rotating shaft 112 to rotate. Furthermore, the magnetic detection component 108 and the gyroscope detection component 110 can detect the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112, and then the controller 104 can control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program according to the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 to achieve control of the wearable device 100.

[0043] Specifically, the magnetic detection component 108 includes a magnetic member 116, and the magnetic member 116 is arranged on the rotating shaft 112, so that when the user rotates the knob 114, the knob 114 drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 112 can drive the magnetic member 116 to rotate, so that the magnetic field of the magnetic member 116 can change its angle and magnetic field. Further, the magnetic detection component 108 also includes a magnetic sensor 142, and the magnetic sensor 142 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic member 116, so that the magnetic sensor 142 can detect the change of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 116, and then determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 according to the change of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 116. At the same time, the magnetic sensor 142 is connected to the controller 104, so that the controller 104 can receive the detection signal of the magnetic sensor 142, and then determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 according to the detection signal.

[0044] Exemplarily, the magnetic member 116 can be a bipolar magnet, and the magnetic sensor 142 is a three-axis magnetic sensor, which is placed in the normal position of the magnet. When the rotating component 106 drives the magnet to rotate, the direction of the magnetic field vector generated by the magnetic field will follow the rotation, and the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field vector in the three axial directions of the three-axis magnetic sensor will change accordingly, but the magnetic field vector strength does not change. Therefore, the magnetic field data that changes with the rotation angle can be observed in two axes of the three-axis magnetic sensor, and the two axes are 90° apart in phase (the data is distributed in a circular space). The angle of the magnet pole can be calculated through the phase of the magnetic axis, and the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be detected in real time through continuous phase detection. In addition, the magnetic detection component 108 can measure the absolute angle of the rotating component 106, and the angular resolution can be 3° or higher, which can realize the rotation detection and rotation stop position detection of the rotating component 106.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the gyroscope detection component 110 includes: a gyroscope sensor 118, which is arranged on the rotating shaft 112 or the knob 114, and the gyroscope sensor 118 is used to generate a detection signal during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112 and the knob 114; a connector 120, and the connector 120 is electrically connected to the controller 104 and the gyroscope sensor 118 respectively, and is used to receive the detection signal generated by the gyroscope sensor 118.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the gyroscope detection component 110 may include a gyroscope sensor 118 and a connector 120, wherein the gyroscope sensor 118 is disposed on the rotating component 106, specifically, the gyroscope sensor 118 may be disposed on the rotating shaft 112, or may be disposed on the knob 114, and when the user rotates the knob 114, the gyroscope sensor 118 may be driven to rotate by the knob 114 or by the rotating shaft 112. It is understandable that, during the rotation of the gyroscope sensor 118, a corresponding detection signal is generated, and through the detection signal, the rotation angle of the knob 114 and the rotating shaft 112, that is, the rotation angle of the rotating component 106, can be determined, and then the operation of the wearable device 100 is controlled according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

[0047] Furthermore, the gyroscope detection component 110 also includes a connector 120, which is respectively connected to the controller 104 and the gyroscope sensor 118. Through the connector 120, the detection signal generated by the gyroscope sensor 118 can be transmitted to the controller 104, so that the controller 104 can determine the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 according to the detection signal of the gyroscope sensor 118, and then control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program according to the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the connector 120 includes: a main body 144, which is arranged on the controller 104, and the main body 144 is provided with a mounting hole 126, and the rotating shaft 112 is inserted into the mounting hole 126; a first connecting member 128, which is arranged on the main body 144 and located in the mounting hole 126; a wiring portion 134, one end of the wiring portion 134 is connected to the first connecting member 128, and the other end of the wiring portion 134 is connected to the controller 104, and a second connecting member 130 is arranged on the rotating shaft 112 and is opposite to the first connecting member 128; a connecting wire 138, one end of the connecting wire 138 is connected to the second connecting member 130, and the other end of the connecting wire 138 is connected to the gyroscope sensor 118.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connector 120 may include a main body 144 , and a mounting hole 126 is opened on the main body 144 , so that the rotating shaft 112 can be inserted into the mounting hole 126 to ensure that the rotating shaft 112 can rotate normally.

[0050] Further, the connector 120 further includes a first connector 128 and a second connector 130, wherein the first connector 128 is disposed on the main body 144 and is located in the mounting hole 126. The second connector 130 is connected to the rotating shaft 112, and when the rotating shaft 112 is inserted into the mounting hole 126, the second connector 130 is opposite to the first connector 128. Thus, by the relative position of the first connector 128 and the second connector 130, the gyro sensor 118 can be electrically connected to the controller 104, thereby ensuring that the detection signal generated by the gyro sensor 118 can be transmitted to the controller 104 through the first connector 128 and the second connector 130. Specifically, the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 are opposite, and specifically, the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 can be abutted to realize the transmission of electrical signals, or the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 can realize the transmission of electrical signals through magnetic induction or capacitance change.

[0051] It can be understood that since the first connecting member 128 is arranged on the main body 144 of the connector 120 and the second connecting member 130 is arranged on the rotating shaft 112, during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112, relative rotation will occur between the first connecting member 128 and the second connecting member 130. Therefore, by positioning the first connecting member 128 and the second connecting member 130 relative to each other, while ensuring the electrical connection between the first connecting member 128 and the second connecting member 130, the relative rotation between the first connecting member 128 and the second connecting member 130 can be guaranteed, that is, the normal rotation of the rotating component is guaranteed.

[0052] Furthermore, the connector 120 further includes a wiring portion 134 and a connecting wire 138, wherein one end of the wiring portion 134 is connected to the first connector 128, and the second end of the wiring portion 134 is connected to the controller 104. Specifically, the wiring portion 134 can be connected to the controller 104 through the body 144, and the electrical connection with the controller 104 is achieved through gold fingers, pins, screw holes, etc. One end of the connecting wire 138 is connected to the second connector 130, and the other end of the connecting wire 138 is connected to the gyroscope sensor 118. In this way, during the rotation of the shaft 112, the gyroscope sensor 118 is driven to rotate, and the gyroscope sensor 118 generates a corresponding detection signal. The detection signal can be transmitted to the second connecting member 130 through the connecting wire 138, and then transmitted to the first connecting member 128, and further transmitted to the controller 104 through the wiring part 134, so that the controller 104 can receive the detection signal generated by the gyroscope sensor 118, further determine the rotation angle of the shaft 112 according to the detection signal, and then control the wearable device 100 according to the rotation angle of the shaft 112.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of the first connecting member 128 and the second connecting member 130 can be set to multiple, wherein the first connecting member 128 is arranged on the hole wall of the mounting hole 126 along the circumference of the mounting hole 126, and the second connecting member 130 can also be arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 112 along the circumference of the mounting hole 126, and during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112, at least one first connecting member 128 and at least one second connecting member 130 can be relative to each other, thereby ensuring that during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112, electrical signals can be transmitted through at least one first connecting member 128 and at least one second connecting member 130, so as to ensure that the controller 104 can obtain the detection signal emitted by the gyroscope sensor 118.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting member 128 includes: a first metal ring 132 disposed in the mounting hole 126; the second connecting member 130 includes: a second metal ring 136 sleeved on the rotating shaft 112, and the outer wall of the second metal ring 136 is opposite to the inner wall of the first metal ring 132.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting member 128 may include a first metal ring 132 and, the first metal ring 132 is arranged in the mounting hole 126. Specifically, the first metal ring 132 can be coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 126, and the outer wall of the first metal ring 132 can abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 126. Accordingly, the rotating shaft 112 can be inserted into the first metal ring 132 to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 112 in the first metal ring 132.
