[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "upper, lower, left, right", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. At the same time, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The structure of a multifunctional smart watch provided by the present invention is as follows Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a watch body 1, a built-in optical encoder 11 is installed inside the watch body 1, one end of the surface of the watch body 1 is detachably connected to a strap 2 through a pin shaft, and the end of the watch body 1 away from the strap 2 is detachably connected to a buckle strap 3 through a pin shaft, and the buckle strap 3 cooperates with the strap 2 to wear the watch body 1 on the user's wrist, a push-pull cavity 12 is opened on one side of the surface of the watch body 1, and a rotatable shaft 4 is slidably connected inside the push-pull cavity 12, and a metal crown 5 is sleeved on one end of the shaft 4, four groups of arc-shaped buckle blocks 41 are integrally injection-molded on the surface of the shaft 4, and a plurality of groups of arc-shaped buckle grooves 51 are opened on the inner wall of the metal crown 5, and when the metal crown 5 is pulled outward, the arc-shaped buckle blocks 41 and the arc-shaped buckle grooves 51 are mutually locked to achieve simultaneous rotation of the metal crown 5 and the shaft 4.
[0022] During implementation, when the metal crown 5 is pressed, the metal crown 5 can rotate idly. At this time, the characteristics of light coding can realize the function of key coding. When the metal crown 5 is pulled outward, the metal crown 5 and the rotating shaft 4 are locked into one through the arc-shaped buckle block 41 and the arc-shaped buckle groove 51.
[0023] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 42 is mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and when the rotating shaft 4 is inserted into the push-pull cavity 12, the sealing ring 42 and the push-pull cavity 12 are tightly attached to each other for sealing; a damping ring 43 is injection-molded on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the damping ring 43 is squeezed against the inner wall of the push-pull cavity 12, and the damping ring 43 is used to prevent the rotating shaft 4 from rotating randomly.
[0024] The damping ring 43 of the present invention is made of silicone and plastic injection molding, and it has two functions: first, it can make the metal crown 5 rotate more smoothly, and second, it has a certain damping feeling, which can effectively prevent the metal crown 5 from rotating randomly and prevent the metal crown 5 from causing the display dial to move randomly due to a slight collision.
[0025] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a camera structure 7 is provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the camera structure 7 is used for the camera work when the smart watch is in use. The camera structure 7 is composed of a mounting hole 71 and a camera 72. The mounting hole 71 is opened on the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the mounting hole 71 is embedded with a camera 72 inside. The camera 72 is used for camera work; an external optical encoder 9 is also installed on the side of the rotating shaft 4 away from the camera structure 7.
[0026] During implementation, after the metal crown 5 is locked, it can rotate in an integrated direction with the camera 72 in the shaft 4. After the metal crown 5 is pulled outward, the camera 72 built into the shaft 4 is exposed. When the metal crown 5 is rotated, the camera 72 in the mounting hole 71 can rotate together. It can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to take selfies; it can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to scan codes or take distant shots.
[0027] Furthermore, if Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a physical button 8 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 4, and a movable cover 6 is arranged inside the metal crown 5. When the cover 6 is pressed, it will squeeze the physical button 8 so that the physical button 8 is triggered. Four springs 81 are installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 4 and on the outside of the physical button 8, and the other end of the spring 81 is in close contact with the surface of the cover 6, and the spring 81 pushes the cover 6 and the physical button 8 to separate from each other in the original state. An FPC 10 is arranged inside the rotating shaft 4, and the FPC 10 is electrically connected to the camera 72, the physical button 8, the external optical encoder 9 and the built-in optical encoder 11 respectively, and the end of the FPC 10 away from the rotating shaft 4 is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the circuit board inside the watch body 1.
[0028] During implementation, by pressing the cover 6 , the cover 6 compresses the spring 81 to squeeze the physical key 8 , causing the physical key 8 to start working; in the original state, the elastic force of the spring 81 separates the physical key 8 from the cover 6 .
[0029] The built-in optical encoder 11 of the present invention has two tasks: the first task is to detect whether the camera 72 is pulled out, and turn on the camera after pulling it out; the second task is whether it can automatically switch to the camera 72 when it is rotated to a certain distance, because there is only one camera 72, if the lens is not switched from the software when it is rotated from the front to the back, the imaging of the watch body 1 will be inverted; at the same time, the external optical encoder 9 of the present invention has two tasks: the first task is to identify whether the metal crown 5 is rotating. If the metal crown 5 is rotating, the characteristics of the optical encoder can be used to realize key encoding, and the content of the display area can be moved or other functions can be realized; the second task is that the metal crown 5 can be pressed inward and pulled outward, and if the stroke is sufficient, it can also be used as a button function.
[0030] Working principle: When in use, when the metal crown 5 is pressed, the metal crown 5 can rotate idle. At this time, the characteristics of the optical encoder can realize the function of key coding. When the metal crown 5 is pulled outward, the metal crown 5 and the rotating shaft 4 are locked into one through the action of the arc buckle block 41 and the arc buckle groove 51. After the metal crown 5 is locked, it can turn in one direction with the camera 72 in the rotating shaft 4. After the metal crown 5 is pulled out, the camera 72 built into the rotating shaft 4 is exposed. When the metal crown 5 is rotated, the camera 72 in the mounting hole 71 can rotate together. Rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise can take selfies, and rotating 90 degrees clockwise can scan codes or take distant views. Since the image is an inverted image after rotating 90°, the lens will automatically switch after the optical encoder automatically recognizes it.
[0031] When photographing the real object, by pressing the cover 6, the cover 6 compresses the spring 81 to squeeze the real key 8, causing the real key 8 to start working; in the original state, the elastic force of the spring 81 separates the real key 8 from the cover 6.
[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
