[0049] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the application scenarios involved in the embodiments of this application will be explained first.
[0050] In the related art, a smart watch includes a main body, a tray, and a watch band. The main body is arranged on the tray, and both sides of the tray are connected to the watch band. The user can wear the smart watch on the wrist through the watch band. When the main body of the smart watch is awakened, the display screen of the main body will emit light, but its brightness is relatively low, which limits the usage scenarios of the smart watch. Exemplarily, when a user wearing a smart watch travels in a dim environment, the vehicle or pedestrians in the environment cannot notice the user's position through the smart watch. Exemplarily, when the smart watch falls off the user's arm, it is not easy to be quickly discovered and retrieved by the user. Exemplarily, when the user wearing the smart watch is a child, a smart watch with diverse functions and novel functions can provide a sense of fun to the user.
[0051] Based on this, the present application proposes an intelligent host 10 and an intelligent watch 20 to solve the above problems.
[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 An intelligent host 10 is proposed in an embodiment of the present application, including: a host body 100, a light source 102 is provided on the host body 100; a tray 300, the host body 100 is disposed on the tray 300, a light guide member 500 is provided on the tray 300 or the host body 100, and an incident light surface 502 of the light guide member 500 is used to receive the light emitted by the light source 102; a light transmissive component 400 is disposed on the tray 300, at least a part of the light transmissive component 400 surrounds the circumferential side of the tray 300, an emergent light surface 504 of the light guide member 500 faces the light transmissive component 400, and the light transmissive component 400 is used to propagate the light incident from the light guide member 500, so as to emit the light emitted by the light source 102 through the light transmissive component 400.
[0053] Specifically, a light source 102 may be provided inside the host body 100, and the light source 102 may be a light source 102 provided to meet the lighting function of the intelligent host 10, and the light source 102 may be an LED lamp bead.
[0054] It should be noted that, as the most important functional component of the intelligent host 10, the host body 100 usually has a relatively large number of components, such as a camera module, a display module, a battery, a speaker, a microphone, a communication module, a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a heart rate sensor, etc. Therefore, the internal space inside the host body 100 is very tight. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 2 , the flash lamp in the camera module in the host body 100 can be reused as the light source 102 for the intelligent host 10 to emit light. In this way, the number of functional devices in the host body 100 can be further reduced, the utilization rate of the internal space of the host body 100 can be improved, and thus the intelligent host 10 can be further miniaturized.
[0055] Furthermore, the intelligent host 10 further includes a tray 300, and the tray 300 supports the host body 100. The tray 300 is usually a metal structural member, and thus has relatively strong support strength.
[0056] Further, the intelligent host 10 further includes a light guide member 500. The light guide member can be disposed on the host body, or the light guide member 500 can be disposed on the tray 300. In order to ensure that the light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 emits light evenly to the light-transmitting component 400 around the tray 300, the light guide member 500 can be centrally disposed relative to the host body 100 or the tray 300. As described above, since the space inside the host body 100 is relatively tight and the operation of the light guide member 500 does not require power, disposing the light guide member 500 on the tray 300 can further save the internal space of the host body 100, thereby miniaturizing the host body 100. The light guide member 500 can be made of an optical-grade plastic with a high light-transmitting function.
[0057] To improve the optical propagation efficiency of the light guide member 500, the light guide member 500 includes a light-incident surface 502 for receiving light and a light-emitting surface 504 for emitting light. The light incident from the light-incident surface 502 is reflected multiple times within the light guide member 500 and emitted from the light-emitting surface 504, thus ensuring the light propagation efficiency of the light guide member 500.
[0058] Specifically, the light-incident surface 502 is used to receive the light emitted by the light source 102. It can be understood that the light-incident surface 502 can be correspondingly disposed with the light source 102 so that more light enters the light guide member 500, thereby improving the light propagation efficiency. However, if the position of other functional devices inside the host body 100 causes the light source 102 not to correspond to the light-incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500, there can also be a misalignment between the light source 102 and the light-incident surface 502. In this case, a light propagation component can be additionally disposed between the two for light loss compensation, as long as the light-incident surface 502 can receive the light emitted by the light source 102.
[0059] Further, the intelligent host 10 further includes a light-transmitting component 400 disposed on the tray 300, and the light-transmitting component 400 surrounds the peripheral side of the tray 300. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 1 , except for the position where the tray 300 is provided with a connecting member for connecting with the watch band 200, the light-transmitting component 400 is disposed around the opposite sides of the tray 300. At least a part of the light-transmitting component 400 is exposed to the environment. For example, the outer sidewall of the light-transmitting component 400 is exposed to the environment so that the light-transmitting component 400 can be easily observed.
[0060] Further, the light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 is arranged facing the light-transmitting component 400, so that the light guide member 500 injects the light received from the light source 102 of the host body 100 onto the light-transmitting component 400 of the tray 300. That is, there is no need to provide an electrically powered light source 102 on the tray 300, and the light-transmitting component 400 on the tray 300 can be made to appear to emit light by propagating the light through the light guide member 500. In addition, by providing the light guide member 500 and arranging the light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 facing the light-transmitting component 400, only one light source 102 needs to be provided on the host body 100, so that the light-transmitting components 400 surrounding both sides of the tray 300 can emit light as a whole.
[0061] Specifically, during the propagation of light in the light-transmitting component 400, processes such as light reflection and transmission may occur, enabling the light to be emitted from various positions of the light-transmitting component 400 into the environment. When observing the smart host 10 from the environment, the overall light-emitting effect of the light-transmitting component 400 on the side of the tray 300 can be observed, thus realizing the light-emitting function of the smart host 10. The above light propagation process encapsulates the light source 102 within the host body 100, and the light is emitted through the light-transmitting component 400 provided on the tray 300, thereby reducing the structural and design requirements for the middle frame of the host body 100. Especially when the flash of the camera module within the host body 100 is reused as the light source 102, the host body 100 of the embodiment of the present application does not require structural improvement, thus reducing the production cost of the smart watch 20.
[0062] The intelligent host 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application is configured such that a light source 102 is provided on the host body 100, a light-transmitting component 400 is provided on the tray 300, and the light is propagated through a light guide 500 provided on the host body 100 or the tray 300. The light-incident surface 502 of the light guide 500 is used to receive the light emitted by the light source 102, and the light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide 500 is used to emit light to the light-transmitting component 400 located on the tray 300, so that the light emitted from the light source 102 of the host body 100 enters the light-transmitting component 400 on the tray 300 through the light guide 500. The light is propagated within the light-transmitting component 400, so that the light can be emitted from various positions of the light-transmitting component 400, causing the light-transmitting component 400 surrounding the outer periphery of the tray 300 to produce an overall light-emitting effect. Since the light generated by the light source 102 has a relatively high brightness, the light propagated to the light-transmitting component 400 also has a relatively high brightness, and the light emitted through the light-transmitting component 400 is more likely to be observed and noticed, having better visibility and visual effects. The user wearing the smart watch 20 can send a prompt message to the external environment through the light-transmitting component 400 to remind vehicles or other entities in the environment to pay attention to the user wearing the smart watch 20. In addition, this function of emitting light through the light-transmitting component 400 also increases the playability and interestingness of the smart watch 20.
[0063] In some embodiments, the light-incident surface 502 of the light guide 500 faces away from the tray 300, and the light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide 500 is located at the end of the extending direction of the light guide 500, so that the light-emitting surface 504 faces the light-transmitting component 400.
[0064] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the light-incident surface 502 of the light guide 500 faces away from the tray 300. Along the thickness direction of the host body 100, that is, the Z-axis direction in the figure, the light source 102 is located above the light guide 500, and the light-incident surface 502 of the light guide 500 faces the light source 102. In this way, the light emitted by the light source 102 can efficiently enter the light-incident surface 502 of the light guide 500.
[0065] Further, the light guide 500 is configured as a structure approximated to a cylinder, and it extends along the width direction of the host body 100, that is Figure 3 and Figure 4in the X-axis direction. The light-emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 is located at its two ends along the X-axis direction, that is, the light guide member 500 can have two light-emitting surfaces 504. In this way, only one light source 102 is needed, and the light guide member 500 can change the direction of the light incident from the Z-axis direction and emit it from the two light-emitting surfaces 504 facing the X-axis direction through the light-incident surface 502. Since the light-emitting surface 504 is arranged facing the light-transmitting component 400, the light emitted by the light source 102 on the main body 100 of the host is transmitted to the light-transmitting components 400 on both sides of the tray 300, so that the light-transmitting component 400 produces an overall light-emitting effect.
[0066] Optionally, the surface of the light-emitting surface 504 can be a plane. The light-emitting surface 504 can cover the entire surface of the end of the light guide member 500, and the light-emitting surface 504 can also be a part of the end surface of the light guide member 500.
[0067] It should be noted that since the light-transmitting component 400 is arranged on the tray 300, and the tray 300 usually does not have electrical components. Therefore, the connection and sealing between the light-transmitting component 400 and the tray 300 are easier to achieve in the process, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the smart watch 20 and improves the production efficiency of the smart host 10.
[0068] In this way, the light guide member 500 in the smart host 10 changes the direction of the light incident from the Z-axis direction and emits it from the light-emitting surface 504 facing the X-axis direction through the light-incident surface 502. Only one light source 102 needs to be arranged on the main body 100 of the host, and the light can be transmitted to the light-transmitting components 400 on both sides of the tray 300 through the light-emitting surfaces 504 at both ends of the light guide member 500, saving the number of light sources 102.
[0069] In some other embodiments, the light guide member 500 further includes a light reflection structure 516. The light reflection structure 516 is recessed from the side of the light guide member 500 close to the tray 300 into the light guide member 500; the light reflection structure 516 includes a light reflection surface 518, and the reflection surface is used to reflect the light incident from the light-incident surface 502 to the light-emitting surface 504.
[0070] Specifically, the light reflection structure 516 is formed by recessing from the surface of the light guide member 500 facing the tray 300 into the light guide member 500. Along the Z-axis direction, the light reflection structure 516 is located below the light-incident surface 502, which can be understood as the light reflection structure 516 is recessed towards the light-incident surface 502. In addition, the light reflection structure 516 can penetrate the entire light guide member 500 along the Y-axis direction of the smart host 10, so that the light reflection structure 516 has an all-round reflection effect on the light incident from the light-incident surface 502, improving the light propagation efficiency of the light guide member 500.
[0071] The light reflecting surface 518 can be an inclined surface, so as to form an angle with the light rays incident from the light incident surface 502. According to the principle that the angle of reflection of light is equal to the angle of incidence, the inclined light reflecting surface 518 changes the direction of the light rays incident from the Z-axis direction through the light incident surface 502 and makes the light rays enter the light emitting surface 504 in the X-axis direction. By reasonably setting the slope of this inclined surface, the light reflection performance of the light reflection structure 516 can be optimized.
[0072] The light reflection structure 516 can include two light reflecting surfaces 518. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 5 , the two light reflecting surfaces 518 can be inclined surfaces, and the slopes of the two light reflecting surfaces can be the same or different. As described above, the light source 102 in the embodiment of the present application can be the flash lamp in the camera module of the host body 100. Usually, the camera module is centrally arranged on the host body 100. Therefore, the flash lamp in the camera module is usually offset from the host body 100, that is, the flash lamp is offset from the central axis of the host body 100 in the X-axis direction. In this case, the light incident surface 502 corresponding to the light source 102 is also correspondingly offset from the central axis of the light guide member 500 in the X-axis direction. Correspondingly, the two light reflecting surfaces 518 for receiving the light rays incident from the light incident surface 502 can be configured with different slopes, so that the light ray intensities incident on the light emitting surface 504 from the two light reflecting surfaces 518 are relatively balanced, and the light ray intensities emitted by the two light emitting surfaces 504 to the light transmissive component 400 are also relatively balanced. Furthermore, it is ensured that the light ray intensities projected by the light transmissive components 400 on both sides of the tray 300 to the environment are relatively consistent, having a relatively balanced visual effect.
[0073] In this way, the light reflection structure 516 of the light guide member 500 can include the light reflection structure 516, which is used to change the emission direction of light and can adjust the reflection intensity of light rays, ensuring that the light ray intensities received by the two light emitting surfaces 504 at the end of the light guide member 500 are relatively balanced.
[0074] In some other embodiments, the light reflection structure 516 includes a vertex angle 520 formed by the reflection surface. When the light incident surface 502 is centered on the light guide member 500, the vertex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516 corresponds to the central section 514 of the light incident surface 502; when the light incident surface 502 is offset from the light guide member 500, there is a preset distance between the vertex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516 and the central section 514.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 6, the light reflection structure 516 can include at least two light reflection surfaces 518, and the intersection position of the two light reflection surfaces 518 forms the apex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516. The perpendicular line from the vertex of the apex angle 520 to the light incident surface 502 can be the first perpendicular line. Optionally, as described above, the light reflection structure 516 can penetrate the entire light guide 500 along the Y-axis direction of the intelligent host 10. Therefore, the projection of the apex angle 520 on the light incident surface 502 can be a straight line, and the perpendicular line from any point on this straight line to the light incident surface 502 can be the first perpendicular line.
[0076] The central section 514 of the light incident surface 502 can be a section perpendicular to the light incident surface 502 and passing through the center line of the light incident surface 502 along the X-axis direction. "The apex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516 corresponds to the central section 514 of the light incident surface 502" can be understood as that the first perpendicular line is located on the central section 514 of the light incident surface 502. "There is a preset distance between the apex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516 and the central section 514" can be understood as that there is a preset distance between the first perpendicular line and the central section 514.
[0077] When the light source 102 is centrally arranged in the intelligent host 10, since the light incident surface 502 is correspondingly arranged with the light source 102, the light incident surface 502 is also centrally arranged in the light guide 500. Setting the light source 102, the light incident surface 502 and the light reflection structure 516 facing each other not only improves the light propagation efficiency but also ensures the intensity balance of the light rays entering the light transmission component 400 from the two light exit surfaces 504.
[0078] When the light source 102 is the flash in the camera module, in order to ensure that the camera is centrally arranged in the intelligent host 10, the light source 102, the light incident surface 502 and the light reflection structure 516 are all offset relative to the center line of the intelligent host 10 along the X-axis direction. Since the light incident surface 502 is offset in the light guide 500, it may cause the light intensities of the light rays emitted from the two light exit surfaces 504 at both ends of the light guide 500 to be inconsistent. By adjusting the setting position of the light reflection structure 516 and offsetting the light reflection structure 516 relative to the above central section 514, that is, keeping a preset distance between the first perpendicular line and the central section 514, the problem of inconsistent light intensities that may occur on the two light exit surfaces 504 can be solved to ensure that the light intensities of the light rays emitted from the two light exit surfaces 504 are relatively balanced.
[0079] It can be understood that when the light reflection structure 516 is offset relative to the light incident surface 502, the incident angles of the light rays entering the two light reflection surfaces 518 of the light reflection structure 516 may be different, resulting in different reflection angles of the light rays reflected by the two light reflection surfaces 518, and further making the light rays emitted from the two light exit surfaces 504 relatively balanced.
[0080] Exemplarily, the value range of the above preset distance can be from 0.5 mm to 2 mm. Optionally, the value of the preset distance can be 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.7 mm, or 2 mm.
[0081] In this way, according to the different positions of the light incident surface 502 on the light guide member 500, adjusting the setting position of the light reflection structure 516 can make the light emitted from the two light exit surfaces 504 relatively balanced, thereby ensuring that the light brightness emitted by the light transmission components 400 on both sides of the tray 300 is relatively balanced.
[0082] In some other embodiments, the light exit surface 504 includes a first light exit surface 506 and a second light exit surface 508 located at both ends of the light guide member 500 respectively, and the two light reflection surfaces 518 of the light reflection structure 516 are respectively used to reflect light to the first light exit surface 506 and the second light exit surface 508; along the extension direction of the light guide member 500, the central section 514 has a first distance to the first light exit surface 506, and the central section 514 has a second distance to the second light exit surface 508; when the apex angle 520 has a preset distance from the central section 514 and the first distance is greater than the second distance, the apex angle 520 is closer to the second light exit surface 508 than the central section 514; when the apex angle 520 has a preset distance from the central section 514 and the first distance is less than the second distance, the apex angle 520 is closer to the first light exit surface 506 than the central section 514.
[0083] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the light exit surface 504 includes a first light exit surface 506 facing the first direction and a second light exit surface 508 facing the second direction, and the light reflection structure 516 includes at least two light reflection surfaces 518, which are respectively used to reflect light to the first light exit surface 506 and the second light exit surface 508.
[0084] Along the extension direction of the light guide member 500, that is, along the X-axis direction of the intelligent host 10, there is a first distance between the central section 514 of the light incident surface 502 and the first light exit surface 506, and there is a second distance between the central section 514 of the light incident surface 502 and the second light exit surface 508. When the first distance and the second distance are different, it can be considered that the light incident surface 502 is offset on the light guide member 500.
[0085] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 6, when the first distance is less than the second distance, it indicates that the light incident surface 502 is offset towards the first direction with respect to the light guide member 500. The light loss of the light propagating to the first light output surface 506 is less, and the light loss of the light propagating to the second light output surface 508 is more. In this case, by further offsetting the light reflection structure 516 towards the first direction, that is, the first perpendicular line deviates from the central section 514 by a preset distance towards the first direction, the apex angle 520 of the light reflection structure 516 is closer to the first light output surface 506. Since the reflection angle of the light incident on the light reflection surface 518 changes, the intensity of the light reflected from the light reflection surface 518 to the first light output surface 506 is reduced, ensuring the balance of the light intensities incident on the first light output surface 506 and the second light output surface 508.
[0086] Similarly, when the first distance is greater than the second distance (not shown in the figure), it indicates that the light incident surface is offset towards the second direction with respect to the light guide member, and the light loss of the light propagating to the second light output surface is less. In this case, by further offsetting the light reflection structure towards the second direction, that is, the first perpendicular line deviates from the central section by a preset distance towards the second direction, the apex angle of the light reflection structure is closer to the second light output surface. Since the reflection angle of the light incident on the light reflection surface changes, the intensity of the light reflected from the light reflection surface to the second light output surface is reduced, ensuring the balance of the light intensities incident on the first light output surface and the second light output surface.
[0087] In this way, according to the direction in which the light incident surface 502 is offset with respect to the light guide member 500, the light reflection structure 516 can be further offset in the offset direction, so as to adjust the light intensities emitted from the first light output surface 506 and the second light output surface 508 to be relatively consistent, and ensure that the luminous brightness of the light transmission components 400 on both sides of the support plate 300 is relatively balanced.
[0088] In order to improve the light guiding effect of the light guide member 500, in some other embodiments, the light incident surface 502 and the light output surface 504 are configured as smooth surfaces; and / or the outer surface of the light guide member 500 except for the light output surface 504 and the light incident surface 502 is coated with a reflective film; and / or all surfaces of the light guide member 500 are configured as smooth surfaces.
[0089] When light irradiates on the surface of a light transmissive body with an uneven surface, part of the light will be reflected into the external space, resulting in light energy loss. In this embodiment, optionally, both the light incident surface 502 and the light output surface 504 of the light guide member 500 are configured as smooth and flat surfaces, which can reduce the reflection loss of light, so that more light emitted from the light source 102 enters the light incident surface 502, thereby improving the light propagation efficiency.
[0090] Optionally, all surfaces of the light guide member 500 can be configured as smooth and flat surfaces, thereby reducing the reflection loss of light as a whole.
[0091] Optionally, other surfaces of the light guide member 500 except the light incident surface 502 and the light exit surface 504 may be coated with a reflective film, and the reflective film may be an electroplated silver reflective film. The reflective film can reflect the stray light inside the light guide member 500 back into the interior of the light guide member 500 for reuse, thereby increasing the utilization rate of light. Light cannot transmit through the reflective film and only exits from the light exit surface 504 of the light guide member 500, thereby also increasing the intensity of the light exiting from the light exit surface 504.
[0092] In some other embodiments, the intelligent host 10 further includes a lens 104 disposed in the light guide channel within the host body 100. The light source 102 is located on the light incident side of the lens 104, and the lens 104 is used to scatter the light incident from the light source 102. The light exit side of the lens 104 faces the light incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500.
[0093] Please refer back to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a light guide channel is further disposed within the host body 100, and this light guide channel is used to dispose the lens 104. The light source 102 is located on the light incident side of the lens 104, and the light exit side of the lens 104 faces the light incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500. The lens 104 can be used to protect the light source 102 and scatter the incident light. When the light passes through the lens 104, it can be more evenly distributed, so that the light enters the light incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500 evenly.
[0094] In some other embodiments, the light-transmitting component 400 includes: a light-transmitting cover body 402 disposed on the tray 300 and extending along the circumferential side of the tray 300. The light exit surface 504 faces the light-transmitting cover body 402. The light-transmitting cover body 402 is used to transmit the light incident from the light guide member 500, so that the light-transmitting cover body 402 emits the light exiting from the light exit surface 504 to the external environment.
[0095] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the tray 300 includes an avoidance installation area 302, and this avoidance installation area 302 is used to thin the thickness of the tray 300 so as to install the light-transmitting cover body 402. The avoidance installation area 302 is located on the circumferential side of the tray 300 and extends along the outer contour of the tray 300. The light-transmitting cover body 402 is disposed in the avoidance installation area 302 and extends along the circumferential side of the tray 300. At least a part of the light-transmitting cover body 402 is exposed to the environment. For example, the outer side wall of the light-transmitting cover body 402 is exposed to the environment so that the light-transmitting cover body 402 can be observed.
[0096] When the light guide member 500 is provided in the main body 100 of the host, when the main body 100 of the host is covered on the pallet 300, an avoidance area for accommodating the light guide member 500 may be provided on the pallet 300, so that the light guide member 500 and the light transmissive cover 402 are relatively flush in the Z-axis direction, and the light emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 faces the light transmissive cover 402. When the light guide member 500 is provided on the pallet 300, the light transmissive cover 402 is provided in the avoidance installation area 302 with reduced thickness. Therefore, the light guide member 500 and the light transmissive cover 402 are also relatively flush in the Z-axis direction, and the light emitting surface 504 of the light guide member 500 faces the light transmissive cover 402.
[0097] The light transmissive cover 402 can be made of optical grade plastic to ensure that the light transmissive cover 402 has good light guiding performance. The light emitting surface 504 is arranged facing the light transmissive cover 402. When light propagates in the light transmissive cover 402, light propagation processes such as reflection and transmission of light may occur, so that light can be emitted from various positions of the light transmissive cover 402 into the environment. When observing the intelligent host 10 from the environment, the overall lighting effect of the light transmissive cover 402 on the side of the pallet 300 can be seen. The light transmissive cover 402 can be adhesively bonded or ultrasonically welded in the avoidance installation area 302 of the pallet 300.
[0098] Furthermore, the light transmissive cover 402 is provided with patterns, and the density of the patterns gradually decreases in the direction away from the light emitting surface 504 from the corresponding position of the light transmissive cover 402 and the light emitting surface 504.
[0099] The patterns on the light transmissive cover 402 can scatter, refract, reflect, etc. light, thereby changing the propagation direction and intensity distribution of light. It can be understood that by adjusting the density of the patterns provided on the light transmissive cover 402, the propagation and intensity distribution of light can be adjusted.
[0100] Exemplarily, the light transmissive cover 402 includes a first partial area close to the light emitting surface 504. Since this area is close to the light emitting surface 504, the loss of light during propagation is less. The density of the patterns in this area of the light transmissive cover 402 can be configured to be relatively large, so as to reduce the light emission brightness of this area of the light transmissive cover 402. Correspondingly, the light transmissive cover 402 also includes a second partial area farther from the light emitting surface 504 than the first partial area. Since this area is farther from the light emitting surface 504, the light has a certain light loss before reaching this area. Therefore, the patterns in this area of the light transmissive cover 402 can be configured to be relatively small, so as to increase the light emission brightness of this area of the light transmissive cover 402.
[0101] Thus, by adjusting the density of the lines on the light-transmitting cover 402, the light emitted from the area of the light-transmitting cover 402 close to the light-emitting surface 504 and the area far from the light-emitting surface 504 can have a relatively balanced brightness, thereby improving the visual effect and observation comfort of the light-transmitting component 400.
[0102] In order to further ensure that the light is efficiently transmitted to the light-transmitting cover 402 after being emitted from the light source 102, in other embodiments, when the light guide 500 is arranged on the support plate 300, the light-transmitting assembly 400 further includes: an optical fiber 404, which is arranged on the support plate 300 and located between the light-transmitting cover 402 and the support plate 300, and the light-entering end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is connected to or close to the light-emitting surface 504, and a notch 406 is arranged on the side of the optical fiber 404 facing the light-transmitting cover 402.
[0103] The optical fiber 404 can be made of glass or plastic with a high refractive index, and the light loss in the optical fiber is very low, which helps the light to be efficiently transmitted to the light-transmitting cover 402. For example, please refer to Figure 9 , the optical fiber 404 can be arranged in the avoidance installation area 302, and between the light-transmitting cover 402 and the support plate 300, and distributed on the entire inner wall of the light-transmitting cover 402. Furthermore, the optical fiber 404 can also be provided with a notch 406, so that the light can be emitted through the notch 406, and the emitted light directly shines on the light-transmitting cover 402, so that the light-transmitting cover 402 has a luminous visual effect.
[0104] In order to further improve the light propagation efficiency between the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504 of the light guide 500, the light guide 500 can be fixedly arranged on the support plate 300, thereby providing feasible conditions for the fixed connection (including abutment) or close proximity between the light guide 500 and the optical fiber 404. The fixed connection or close proximity between the light guide 500 and the optical fiber 404 can make the light emitted from the light emitting surface 504 directly enter the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404, thereby minimizing the light loss between the optical fiber 404 after it is emitted from the light emitting surface 504 and the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404. "The light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is close to the light emitting surface 504" can be understood as the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504 are close to each other, that is, the gap between the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504 is close to zero, so as to reduce the light loss.
[0105] In this way, the light guide 500 is disposed on the support plate 300, and the light emitting surface 504 of the light guide 500 is attached or connected to the light incident end surface 408 of the optical fiber 404, so that the light propagation efficiency between the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504 of the light guide 500 is further improved.
[0106] In some other embodiments, the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is bonded to the light output face 504 through a light-transmitting adhesive layer; or the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is inserted into the light output face 504.
[0107] Optionally, when the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is connected to the light output face 504, the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 can be connected to the light output face 504 through a light-transmitting glue, and the light-transmitting glue forms an adhesive layer to ensure the stability of the connection between the optical fiber 404 and the light output face 504. This adhesive layer is a light-transmitting adhesive layer, which fills the gap between the light output face 504 and the optical fiber 404, thereby reducing the light loss after the light is emitted from the light output face 504 and before it enters the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404.
[0108] Optionally, when the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is inserted into the light output face 504, a mounting hole can be provided on the light output face 504, and the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 can be inserted into the light output face 504, which not only improves the stability of the connection between the two, but also further reduces the light loss caused by assembly misalignment.
[0109] In order to further protect the optical fiber 404 from being damaged and prevent the connection position between the optical fiber 404 and the light output face 504 from being kept clean to ensure the light propagation effect. In some other embodiments, the intelligent host 10 further includes a mounting groove 304 and a reinforcing plate 306. The first part of the mounting groove 304 is formed on the support plate 300, and the second part of the mounting groove 304 is formed on the light-transmitting cover body 402. The first part and the second part are communicated; the reinforcing plate 306 covers the mounting groove 304 to cover the optical fiber 404. The reinforcing plate 306 also covers the connection between the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the light output face 504, or the reinforcing plate 306 at least covers the adjacent area between the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the light output face 504 of the light guide member 500.
[0110] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the light-transmitting cover body 402 is arranged in the avoidance installation area 302, the light-transmitting cover body 402 fits on the bottom surface of the avoidance installation area 302, the upper surface of the light-transmitting cover body 402 is substantially at the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the support plate 300. The first part of the mounting groove 304 is opened on the upper surface of the support plate 300 adjacent to the avoidance installation area 302, and the second part of the mounting groove 304 is opened on the upper surface of the light-transmitting cover body 402. The first part and the second part are communicated to form the mounting groove 304. This mounting groove 304 is used to accommodate the reinforcing plate 306, and the reinforcing plate 306 covers the optical fiber 404, the light-transmitting cover body 402 and the support plate 300, thereby protecting the optical fiber 404 and further enhancing the connection strength between the support plate 300 and the light-transmitting cover body 402.
[0111] The reinforcing plate 306 can be a metal reinforcing plate 306, which has higher structural strength. When the main body 100 of the host is movably arranged on the pallet 300, the reinforcing plate 306 can bear the impact of the main body 100 of the host on the pallet 300 during the flipping process, thereby protecting the light-transmitting cover body 402 and the optical fiber 404 from impact.
[0112] Optionally, please refer to Figure 6 , the reinforcing plate 306 can be partially arranged in the stepped groove of the light guide member 500, so as to cover the connection position between the optical fiber 404 and the incident light end face 408 and the outgoing light face 504 of the optical fiber 404. The reinforcing plate 306 covers the connection part of the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504, which can further reduce the impact of the main body 100 of the host on the connection position between the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504, thereby ensuring their stable connection. The reinforcing plate 306 shields the connection part of the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504, and can also prevent external pollutants from entering the connection position, so that the connection position between the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504 remains clean to ensure the light propagation efficiency.
[0113] Optionally, when the incident light end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is close to the outgoing light face 504, the reinforcing plate 306 also at least covers the close area between the incident light end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504 of the light guide member 500. When the optical fiber 404 is close to the outgoing light face 504, it is easier for pollutants to mix between the incident light end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504. Therefore, it is particularly important for the reinforcing plate 306 to cover the close area between the incident light end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504 of the light guide member 500, so as to ensure the cleanliness between the incident light end face 408 and the outgoing light face 504 and improve the light propagation efficiency.
[0114] In this way, by providing the installation groove 304 on the light-transmitting cover body 402 and the pallet 300 and arranging the reinforcing plate 306 in the installation groove 304, it is possible to protect the optical fiber 404 and improve the connection stability between the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504. At the same time, the connection position or the close area between the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504 can be shielded by the reinforcing plate 306, so that the position where the optical fiber 404 is connected to the light guide surface remains clean, thereby ensuring the light propagation effect.
[0115] In order to further improve the covering and protection effect of the reinforcing plate 306 on the connection position between the optical fiber 404 and the outgoing light face 504, in some other embodiments, the light guide member 500 further includes a protruding portion 512 protruding outward along the extending direction of the light guide member 500, the outgoing light face 504 is located on the protruding portion 512, and the reinforcing plate 306 covers the protruding portion 512.
[0116] Since the light incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500 needs to be exposed outside the support plate 300, the reinforcement plate 306 needs to be arranged as far as possible to avoid the light guide member 500, which may affect the covering range of the reinforcement plate 306 on the connection between the light emitting surface 504 and the optical fiber 404. Protrusions 512 are provided at both ends of the light guide member 500. The protrusions 512 protrude outward along the extending direction of the light guide member 500, that is, the X-axis direction. The light emitting surface 504 is arranged at the end of the protrusion 512, so that the protrusion 512 can extend below the reinforcement plate 306, thereby increasing the covering range of the reinforcement plate 306 on the connection between the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504.
[0117] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 6 , the reinforcement plate 306 is arranged on the stepped groove of the light guide member 500, and there may be a first gap 522 between the two. Since the convex surface extends below the reinforcement plate 306 and the light emitting surface 504 is located at the end of the light emitting surface 504, the second gap 523 that may be generated at the connection between the light emitting surface 504 and the optical fiber 404 is located below the reinforcement plate 306. It can be seen that the first gap 522 and the second gap 523 are arranged in a dislocation manner in the Z-axis direction. Even if pollutants can enter the first gap 522, due to the dislocation arrangement of the second gap 523 and the second gap 523, the pollutants can hardly continue to enter the second gap 523, thereby further reducing the possibility of pollutants entering the connection between the light emitting surface 504 and the optical fiber 404 through the gap therebetween.
[0118] Further, when the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber is inserted into the light emitting surface 504, the insertion gap formed between the optical fiber 404 and the light emitting surface 504, that is, the above-mentioned second gap 523, is a gap with multiple bends. In this way, it will be more difficult for pollutants to enter the second gap 523, thereby maintaining the cleanliness between the light emitting surface 504 and the optical fiber 404.
[0119] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the light emitting surface 504 can be a plane located at the end of the protrusion 512. The optical fiber 404 can be directly bonded to the light emitting surface 504 through a light-transmitting adhesive layer, and the light is transmitted from the light emitting surface 504 and then propagates into the optical fiber 404. When the light incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 is inserted into the light emitting surface 504, the light incident end face of the optical fiber can be formed with a protruding portion. The diameter of the protruding portion is smaller than the diameter of the light incident end face. After the protruding portion extends into the mounting hole, the light incident end face and the light emitting surface 504 are facing each other. The light emitting surface 504 can also include the hole wall surface of the mounting hole for inserting the optical fiber 404. The hole wall surface of the mounting hole also serves as the light emitting surface 504. The light emitting surface 504 can transmit the light to the protruding portion extending into the protrusion 512, so that the light enters the optical fiber 404.
[0120] In addition, the protruding portion 512 is located below the reinforcing plate 306, and can provide further structural support for the reinforcing plate 306.
[0121] In this way, the protruding portions 512 at both ends of the light guide member 500 extend below the reinforcing plate 306, and the light-emitting surface 504 is provided on the protruding portion 512, further reducing the possibility of contaminants entering the connection gap between the light-emitting surface 504 and the optical fiber 404. At the same time, the protruding portion 512 also provides further structural support for the reinforcing plate 306, and the contact area between the reinforcing plate 306 and the light guide member 500 is also increased, improving the bonding strength between the two.
[0122] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate 306 and the mounting groove 304 are bonded by a reflective adhesive layer 308. As described above, the optical fiber 404 is provided with a notch so that light can penetrate from the optical fiber 404 and irradiate the light-transmitting cover 402. The reinforcing plate 306 covers the optical fiber 404, and the light transmitted from the optical fiber 404 may be lost. Using the reflective adhesive layer 308 to bond the reinforcing plate 306 covering the optical fiber 404 can further reduce the reflection loss. The light irradiating on the reflective adhesive layer 308 will be reflected again, and the reflected light may enter the light-transmitting cover 402, thereby reducing the reflection loss of the light.
[0123] Specifically, the reflective adhesive layer 308 can be a double-sided adhesive layer with a white substrate.
[0124] In order to improve the light-emitting uniformity of the light-transmitting cover 402 on one side of the support plate 300, in some other embodiments, the optical fiber 404 includes a plurality of notch regions, and at least two of the plurality of notch regions have different densities of the notches 406.
[0125] Specifically, the optical fiber 404 includes a plurality of notch regions, and at least two of the plurality of notch regions have different densities of the notches 406. As described above, the notches 406 on the optical fiber 404 are used to release the light in the optical fiber 404. Therefore, by adjusting the density of the notches 406, the intensity of the released light can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the light-emitting visual effect of the light-transmitting cover 402. It should be noted that the concept of the above-mentioned notch region does not actually divide the optical fiber 404 into multiple regions, but is a virtual region division of the optical fiber 404 according to the different densities of the notches 406 for the convenience of understanding and explaining the relationship between the density of the notches 406 at different positions of the optical fiber 404 and the light intensity of the released light.
[0126] It can be understood that if a certain area of the light-transmitting cover body 402 needs to be set as an area with a higher brightness, the density of the notches 406 in the corresponding notch area of the optical fiber 404 in this area can be increased, so that more light is released from the optical fiber 404, making this area of the light-transmitting cover body 402 appear brighter. Correspondingly, if a certain area of the light-transmitting cover body 402 needs to be set as an area with a lower brightness, the density of the notches 406 in the corresponding notch area of the optical fiber 404 in this area can be decreased, so that less light is released from the optical fiber 404, making this area of the light-transmitting cover body 402 appear relatively darker.
[0127] In this way, by adjusting the density of the notches 406 on the optical fiber 404, the light-emitting intensity and brightness of different areas of the optical fiber 404 can be adjusted, making the light-emitting effect of the light-transmitting cover body 402 on a single side more balanced.
[0128] During the transmission of light in the optical fiber 404, part of the light will be released by the notches 406 on the optical fiber 404. Therefore, the light intensity in the notch area of the optical fiber 404 near the light-incident end face 408 is greater than that in the notch area at the tail of the optical fiber 404. In some other embodiments, the multiple notch areas at least include a first notch area and a second notch area. The density of the notches 406 in the first notch area is less than that of the notches 406 in the second notch area, and the first notch area is closer to the light-incident end face 408 of the optical fiber 404 than the second notch area.
[0129] Since the first notch area is closer to the light-incident end face 408 of the light than the second notch area, the intensity of the light released in the first notch area is greater than that released in the second notch area. The density of the notches 406 in the first notch area is less than that of the notches 406 in the second notch area, which can make the first notch area release less light and the second notch area release more light, so as to balance the brightness deviation caused by the different intensities of the light released in the first notch area and the second notch area, making the light-emitting brightness of the light-transmitting cover body 402 corresponding to the first notch area and the second notch area of the optical fiber 404 relatively consistent, thus achieving a balanced visual effect and improving the visual comfort when the user observes the light-transmitting cover body 402.
[0130] In some other embodiments, the light-transmitting cover body 402 includes an outwardly protruding convex portion 410 and a flat portion 412 connected to the convex portion 410. The distance between the convex portion 410 and the optical fiber 404 is greater than the distance between the flat portion 412 and the optical fiber 404; the multiple notch areas further include a third notch area and a fourth notch area. The third notch area corresponds to the convex portion 410, the fourth notch area corresponds to the flat portion 412, and the density of the notches 406 in the third notch area is greater than that of the notches 406 in the fourth notch area.
[0131] The middle frame of the main body 100 of the host usually has some structural shapes, such as a convex structure to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the smart watch 20. Correspondingly, in order to achieve a consistent shaping effect, the edge of the tray 300 is also correspondingly provided with the same convex structure. Therefore, the light-transmitting cover body 402 surrounding the tray 300 also needs to be provided with a corresponding convex structure. Specifically, the light-transmitting cover body 402 includes a convex portion 410 and a flat portion 412, and the convex portion 410 and the flat portion 412 are smoothly connected. It can be understood that since the convex portion 410 is farther from the optical fiber 404 than the flat portion 412, the distance between the convex portion 410 and the optical fiber 404 is greater than the distance between the flat portion 412 and the optical fiber 404.
[0132] When light irradiates an object, the intensity of the light gradually weakens as the distance increases, and the displayed brightness also decreases accordingly. Therefore, by adjusting the density of the notches in the third notch area corresponding to the convex portion 410 on the optical fiber 404 to be greater than the density of the notches in the fourth notch area corresponding to the flat portion 412, more light can be released in the third notch area and less light can be released in the fourth notch area, so as to balance the brightness deviation caused by the different distances between the third notch area and the fourth notch area and the light-transmitting cover body 402. Thus, the luminous brightness of the light-transmitting cover body 402 corresponding to the third notch area and the fourth notch area of the optical fiber 404 is relatively consistent, thereby achieving a balanced visual effect and improving the visual comfort when the user observes the light-transmitting cover body 402.
[0133] It can be understood that in the case where the light-transmitting cover body 402 is provided with the convex portion 410, not only can the density of the notches 406 in different notch areas be adjusted by the distance values between different notch areas and the optical fiber 404, but also the density of the notches 406 in the notch area can be further adjusted in combination with the different distances of different areas of the optical fiber 404 from the light incident end face 408, so as to enable the light-transmitting cover body 402 to obtain a balanced luminous visual effect.
[0134] In some other embodiments, the main body 100 of the host is movably disposed on the tray 300, and the main body 100 of the host can switch positions between a flipped position and a closed position; the intelligent host 10 further includes a sensor assembly 600 for detecting the position of the main body 100 of the host. When the sensor assembly 600 detects that the main body 100 of the host is in the flipped position, the power supply in the main body 100 of the host is turned off.
[0135] Specifically, the host body 100 can be movably arranged on the pallet 300, and the host body 100 can switch positions between a flipped position and a closed cover position. Exemplarily, when the user has a photographing requirement, the host body 100 can be flipped to the flipped position to expose the camera module, and photographing can be performed through the camera module; after the photographing is completed, the user can flip the host body 100 to the closed cover position, that is, press the host body 100 on the pallet 300, so as to prevent the host body 100 from being scratched by an object in the environment due to long-term outward turning and being damaged.
[0136] It can be understood that as Figure 14 shown, the host body 100 is in the flipped position. Since the host body 100 is far from the pallet 300, even if the light source 102 continues to emit light, the light cannot be injected into the light incident surface 502 of the light guide member 500, but instead the electrical energy stored in the host body 100 will be wasted. Therefore, a sensor assembly 600 is further provided on the intelligent host 10 to detect the position of the host body 100. When the sensor assembly 600 detects that the host body 100 is in the flipped position, the control device can turn off the light source 102 according to the signal fed back by the sensor assembly 600.
[0137] Specifically, please refer to Figure 14 , the sensor assembly 600 can include a Hall sensor 602 and a magnetic member 604. Since the Hall sensor 602 needs to be powered, it can be arranged on the host body 100, and the magnetic member 604 can be arranged on the pallet 300. When the host body 100 is closed on the pallet 300, the Hall sensor 602 can sense the magnetic member 604 on the pallet 300, and the Hall sensor 602 feeds back a high-level signal to the control device, and the control device determines that the host body 100 is in the closed cover position. When the host body 100 is far from the pallet 300, the Hall sensor 602 can no longer detect the magnetic member 604, and the Hall sensor 602 sends a low-level signal to the control device, and the control device determines that the host body 100 is in the flipped position. If the light source 102 is still in the lighting state at this time, the control device turns off the light source 102.
[0138] In this way, by providing the sensor assembly 600 on the intelligent host 10, the control device communicating with the sensor assembly 600 can turn off the light source 102 when the host body 100 is in the flipped position where the light source 102 cannot inject light into the light guide member 500, so as to avoid waste of electrical energy.
[0139] Please refer to Figure 13, the present application also discloses a smart watch 20, which includes a watch band 200 and the above-mentioned smart host 10. The watch band 200 is connected to the tray 300 of the smart host 10, and the smart host is in the closed cover position. When the user wears the smart watch 20, the watch band 200 and the tray 300 will contact the user's wrist. The light-transmitting component 400 provided on the tray 300 can emit light, improving the playability and interestingness of the smart watch 20. Moreover, through the visual effect of the light emitted by the light-transmitting component 400, vehicles or pedestrians in the environment can be reminded to notice the user wearing the smart watch 20, thereby improving the user experience.
[0140] The smart watch 20 also includes all the beneficial effects of the smart host 10, which will not be elaborated here.

Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present application and its core idea.

In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
