Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wearable device technology, and specifically relates to a wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, smartwatches, as wearable products, are gaining increasing popularity. Smartwatches can be controlled via a crown; rotating the crown zooms in / out on the home screen and accesses a specific application, while rotating it again allows scrolling through multiple applications or selecting menu items. This interaction method overcomes the inconvenience of touchscreen zooming / swiping on small-screen devices like watches, and also addresses the limitation of touchscreens being unusable underwater, resulting in a superior user experience.

[0003] Currently, most smartwatches use optically encoded or optically traced digital crowns. However, these two types of crowns have complex structures and are difficult to manufacture, resulting in higher costs for smartwatches.

[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, the magnetically coded digital crown solution is receiving increasing attention. The magnetically coded digital crown detects the crown's rotation angle through magnetic field detection, which is low-cost and helps reduce the cost of smartwatches. However, the magnetically coded digital crown is affected by the strength of the surrounding magnetic field. When the surrounding magnetic field strength is high, it will affect the normal operation of the magnetically coded digital crown. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to provide a wearable device that can solve the technical problem in the related art that magnetically coded digital crowns cannot function properly when affected by high-intensity magnetic fields.

[0006] This application provides a wearable device, including:

[0007] The housing contains a controller.

[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 located on one side of the rotating component inside the housing and is connected to the controller. The magnetic detection component is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component.

[0010] The gyroscope detection component is located on the rotating component and connected to the controller. The gyroscope detection component is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component.

[0011] Among them, 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 based on 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 based on the detection signal from the gyroscope detection component.

[0013] The wearable device of this application embodiment uses a magnetic detection component and a gyroscope detection component to detect the rotation angle of a rotating component. When the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is low, the magnetic detection component operates normally, and the controller can detect the rotation angle of the rotating component based on the detection signal from the magnetic detection component. Conversely, when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is high, the controller can control the gyroscope detection component to operate, thereby detecting the rotation angle of the rotating component based on the detection signal from the gyroscope detection component. This ensures that the rotation angle of the rotating component can still be obtained even when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device is high, and the controller can then control the operation of the wearable device based on the rotation angle of the rotating component, ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device. Furthermore, compared to optically encoded digital crowns and optically traced digital crowns, the magnetic detection component and gyroscope detection component are less expensive, thus reducing the cost of the wearable device while ensuring its normal operation.

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This application describes a wearable device according to embodiments thereof.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, a wearable device is provided. Figure 1 One of the structural schematic diagrams of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 2 A second schematic diagram of the structure of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 3 The third schematic diagram of the wearable device according to an embodiment of this application is shown; as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the wearable device 100 includes: a housing 102, in which a controller 104 is disposed; a rotating component 106, one end of which is inserted into the housing 102 and the other end of which is located outside the housing 102; a magnetic detection component 108, disposed on one side of the rotating component 106 located inside the housing 102 and connected to the controller 104, the magnetic detection component 108 being used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106; and a gyroscope detection component 110, disposed on the rotating component 106 and connected to the controller 104, the gyroscope detection component 110 being 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 a first strength, the controller 104 is used to obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on 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 based on the detection signal of the gyroscope detection component 110.

[0027] In this embodiment, the wearable device 100 includes a housing 102, a controller 104 is disposed inside the housing 102, one end of a rotating component 106 is inserted into the housing 102, and the other end is located outside the housing 102. 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 by rotating the rotating component 106, or the desktop of the wearable device 100 can be zoomed and entered to enter a certain application by rotating the rotating component 106, and the content can be scrolled through multiple applications or menu items can be selected up and down by rotating the rotating component 106.

[0028] Furthermore, the wearable device 100 also includes a magnetic detection component 108. The magnetic detection component 108 can detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106, and the controller 104 can then control the wearable device 100 to run a corresponding control program based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Specifically, the magnetic detection component 108 can be disposed on one side of the rotating component 106 located within the housing 102, thereby detecting the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 during its rotation. The magnetic detection component 108 is also connected to the controller 104, enabling the controller 104 to receive the detection signal from the magnetic detection component, obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on the detection signal from the magnetic detection component 108, and then control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program.

[0029] Furthermore, the wearable device 100 also includes a gyroscope detection component 110. The gyroscope detection component 110 can be disposed 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 the controller 104 can control the wearable device 100 to run a corresponding control program based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Specifically, the gyroscope detection component 110 can be disposed 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. Furthermore, the gyroscope detection component 110 is also connected to the controller 104, so that the controller 104 can receive the detection signal from the gyroscope detection component 110, and then obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on the detection signal, thereby controlling the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program.

[0030] Furthermore, the magnetic detection component 108 can also detect the strength of the surrounding magnetic field. It is understood that the magnetic detection component 108 uses changes in the magnetic field to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field around the magnetic detection component 108 will affect its detection results. That is, when the magnetic field strength around the magnetic detection component 108 is high, the detection results will be deviated, which will affect the control process of the rotating component 106 on the wearable device 100, causing the rotating component 106 to malfunction. By detecting the strength of the surrounding magnetic field through the magnetic detection component 108, when the magnetic field strength is less than a first strength, the controller 104 can normally receive the detection signal from the magnetic detection component 108 and obtain the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on the detection signal, thereby controlling the operation of the wearable device 100. Conversely, 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 deviated. 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, thereby controlling the operation of the wearable device 100. Thus, even when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, the wearable device 100 can still be controlled through the rotating component 106, ensuring the normal operation of the wearable device 100.

[0031] The wearable device 100 of this application embodiment uses 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 based on the detection signal from the magnetic detection component 108. The controller 104 then controls the operation of the wearable device 100 based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Conversely, when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, the controller 104 can control the gyroscope detection component 110 to operate, thereby detecting the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on the detection signal from the gyroscope detection component 110. This ensures that the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can still be obtained even when the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is high, and the controller can then control the operation of the wearable device 100 based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106, guaranteeing the normal operation of the wearable device 100. Furthermore, compared to optically encoded digital crowns and optically traced digital crowns, the magnetic detection component 108 and the gyroscope detection component 110 have lower costs, thereby reducing the cost of the wearable device 100 while ensuring its normal operation.

[0032] For example, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the control process of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the control process for the operation of wearable devices is as follows:

[0033] Step 402: Activate the magnetic detection component to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component;

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

[0035] Step 406: Detect the rotation angle of the control component using the gyroscope detection component;

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

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

[0038] Step 412: Turn off the gyroscope detection component and use the magnetic detection component to detect the rotation angle of the control component;

[0039] Step 414: Continue to detect the rotation angle of the control component through the magnetic detection component.

[0040] Specifically, during the operation of the wearable device 100, firstly, the magnetic detection component 108 is activated to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Simultaneously, the magnetic detection component 108 detects whether the magnetic field strength around the wearable device 100 is greater than or equal to a first strength. If not, the magnetic detection component 108 continues to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. If so, the gyroscope detection component 110 is activated, and the gyroscope detection component 110 detects the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. Then, the magnetic detection component 108 continuously detects 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 continues to detect the rotation angle of the rotating component 106. If not, the gyroscope detection component 110 is deactivated, and the magnetic detection component 108 detects the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the rotating assembly 106 includes: a rotating shaft 112, one end of which is inserted into the housing 102; and a knob 114 connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 112. The magnetic detection assembly 108 includes: a magnetic element 116 disposed on the rotating shaft 112; and a magnetic sensor 142 disposed on the controller 104, wherein the magnetic sensor 142 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 116, and the magnetic sensor 142 is used to determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 based on the magnetic field strength of the magnetic element 116.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating component 106 includes a rotating shaft 112 and a knob 114. One end of the rotating shaft 112 is inserted into the housing 102, and the knob 114 is external to the housing 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. 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 realize the control of the wearable device 100.

[0043] Specifically, the magnetic detection component 108 includes a magnetic element 116, which is mounted on a rotating shaft 112. When the user rotates the knob 114, the knob 114 drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, which in turn drives the magnetic element 116 to rotate, thus changing the angle and magnetic field of the magnetic element 116. Furthermore, the magnetic detection component 108 also includes a magnetic sensor 142, which is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 116. This allows the magnetic sensor 142 to detect changes in the magnetic field strength of the magnetic element 116 and determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 based on these changes. Simultaneously, the magnetic sensor 142 is connected to a controller 104, enabling the controller 104 to receive the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 142 and determine the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 112 based on the detection signal.

[0044] For example, the magnetic component 116 can be a bipolar magnet, and the magnetic sensor 142 is a triaxial magnetic sensor 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. The magnetic field strength of this magnetic field vector in the three axial directions of the triaxial magnetic sensor will change accordingly, but the magnetic field vector strength does not change. Therefore, magnetic field data that changes with the rotation angle can be observed in two axes of the triaxial magnetic sensor, and the two axes are 90° out of phase (the data is distributed in a circular space). The angle of the magnet poles can be calculated from the phase of the magnetic axis. Through continuous phase detection, the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be detected in real time. Furthermore, the magnetic detection component 108 can measure the absolute angle of the rotating component 106, with an angular resolution of 3° or higher, enabling the detection of the rotation and the stop position of the rotating component 106.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the gyroscope detection assembly 110 includes: a gyroscope sensor 118 disposed on a rotating shaft 112 or a knob 114, the gyroscope sensor 118 being used to generate a detection signal during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112 and the knob 114; and a connector 120 electrically connected to the controller 104 and the gyroscope sensor 118 respectively, for receiving the detection signal generated by the gyroscope sensor 118.

[0046] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the gyroscope detection component 110 may include a gyroscope sensor 118 and a connector 120. 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 on the knob 114. When the user rotates the knob 114, the gyroscope sensor 118 can be rotated via the knob 114 or the rotating shaft 112. It is understood that during the rotation of the gyroscope sensor 118, a corresponding detection signal is generated. Through this detection signal, the rotation angle of the knob 114 and the rotating shaft 112 can be determined, that is, the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 can be determined, and then the wearable device 100 can be controlled to operate based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

[0047] Furthermore, the gyroscope detection component 110 also includes a connector 120, which is connected to the controller 104 and the gyroscope sensor 118 respectively. 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 based on the detection signal of the gyroscope sensor 118, and then control the wearable device 100 to run the corresponding control program based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

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

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connector 120 may include a body 144, and a mounting hole 126 is provided on the 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] Furthermore, the connector 120 also includes a first connector 128 and a second connector 130. The first connector 128 is disposed on the main body 144 and located within 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, through the opposition of the first connector 128 and the second connector 130, the gyroscope sensor 118 can be electrically connected to the controller 104, thereby ensuring that the detection signal generated by the gyroscope sensor 118 can be transmitted to the controller 104 through the first connector 128 and the second connector 130. Specifically, the opposition of the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 can be achieved by the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 abutting each other to realize the transmission of electrical signals, or the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 can achieve the transmission of electrical signals through magnetic induction or capacitance change.

[0051] It is understandable that, since the first connector 128 is disposed on the body 144 of the connector 120 and the second connector 130 is disposed on the rotating shaft 112, the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 will rotate relative to each other during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112. Therefore, by positioning the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 relative to each other, the electrical connection between the first connector 128 and the second connector 130 can be guaranteed, as well as the relative rotation between the first connector 128 and the second connector 130, thus ensuring the normal rotation of the rotating assembly.

[0052] Furthermore, the connector 120 also includes a wiring section 134 and a connecting wire 138. One end of the wiring section 134 is connected to the first connector 128, and the second end of the wiring section 134 is connected to the controller 104. Specifically, the wiring section 134 can pass through the body 144 to connect to the controller 104, 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. This detection signal can be transmitted to the second connector 130 through the connecting wire 138, and then to the first connector 128. It is 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, and further determine the rotation angle of the shaft 112 based on the detection signal, and then control the wearable device 100 based on the rotation angle of the shaft 112.

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

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the first connector 128 includes a first metal ring 132 disposed in the mounting hole 126; the second connector 130 includes a second metal ring 136 sleeved on the rotating shaft 112, with the outer sidewall of the second metal ring 136 opposite to the inner sidewall of the first metal ring 132.

[0055] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 128 may include a first metal ring 132. The first metal ring 132 is disposed in the mounting hole 126. Specifically, the first metal ring 132 may be coaxially disposed with the mounting hole 126. The outer wall of the first metal ring 132 may abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 126. Correspondingly, the rotating shaft 112 may be inserted into the first metal ring 132 to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 112 within the first metal ring 132.

[0056] Furthermore, the second connector 130 may include a second metal ring 136, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 112. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 112, the second metal ring 136 can rotate with the rotating shaft 112. The second metal ring 136 is inserted into the first metal ring 132 along with the rotating shaft 112, with the outer sidewall of the second metal ring 136 abutting against the inner sidewall of the first metal ring 132. This ensures the electrical connection between the first metal ring 132 and the second metal ring 136, and also ensures that the second metal ring 136 can rotate relative to the first metal ring 132, thus ensuring the normal rotation of the rotating shaft 112.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the rotating shaft 112 has a hollow structure, and the connecting wire 138 is located inside the rotating shaft 112.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating shaft 112 can be configured as a hollow structure, and the connecting wire 138 of the second connector 130 can be placed inside the hollow interface of the rotating shaft 112, thereby realizing the storage of the connecting wire 138 and preventing the connecting wire 138 from being exposed to the outside of the rotating shaft 112, which would affect the rotation of the rotating shaft 112.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, there are multiple first connectors 128, and the number of second connectors 130 is the same as the number of first connectors 128. The multiple first connectors 128 are connected to the multiple second connectors 130 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0060] In this embodiment, the number of first connectors 128 and second connectors 130 can both be multiple, and the multiple first connectors 128 and multiple second connectors 130 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. By setting multiple first connectors 128 and multiple second connectors 130, the transmission of different functional signals between the gyroscope sensor 118 and the controller 104 can be realized.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the number of first connectors 128 and second connectors 130 can be set to four. Two first connectors 128 and two second connectors 130 are used to connect the gyroscope sensor 118 to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply on the controller 104, respectively, thereby providing power to the gyroscope sensor 118 and enabling its normal operation. The other two first connectors 128 and second connectors 130 can be used for transmitting detection and control signals, to receive detection signals from the gyroscope sensor 118 and to control the operation of the gyroscope sensor 118.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the gyroscope sensor 118 includes: a circuit board 122, which is attached to the surface of the rotating shaft 112 or disposed inside the knob 114, and is electrically connected to the connector 120; and a gyroscope 124, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 122 and is used to generate a detection signal during the rotation of the rotating shaft 112 and the knob 114.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gyroscope sensor 118 may include a circuit board 122 and a gyroscope 124. The gyroscope 124 is mounted on the circuit board 122, and the circuit board 122 is attached to the surface of the rotating shaft 112, or disposed inside the knob 114. Thus, when the user rotates the knob 114, the knob 114 or the rotating shaft 112 can drive the gyroscope 124 on the circuit board 122 to rotate. During the rotation of the gyroscope 124, a corresponding detection signal can be generated.

[0064] The circuit board 122 is electrically connected to the connector 120. When the gyroscope 124 generates a detection signal, the detection signal can be transmitted through the circuit board 122 to the connector 120, and then transmitted through the connector 120 to the controller 104. This allows the controller 104 to determine the rotation angle of the rotating component 106 based on the received detection signal, and then control the wearable device 100 based on the rotation angle of the rotating component 106.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the wearable device 100 further includes: a printed circuit board 140; and a controller 104 disposed on the printed circuit board 140.

[0066] In this embodiment, the wearable device 100 may include a printed circuit board 140, wherein a controller 104 is disposed on the printed circuit board 140. The printed circuit board 140 enables electrical connections between the controller and the magnetic detection component 108, and between the controller 104 and the gyroscope detection component 110. The controller 104 enables control of the wearable device 100 based on detection signals from the magnetic detection component 108 or the gyroscope detection component 110. The traces on the printed circuit board 140 enable electrical connections between the controller 104 and the magnetic detection component 108 and the gyroscope detection component 110, as well as electrical connections between the controller 104 and other electrical components in the wearable device 100.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the wearable device 100 includes a watch, and the rotating component 106 is the watch's crown.
