[0021] The wearable device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 2 , Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 2 which are schematic structural diagrams of the wearable device provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 2 , the wearable device 10 includes:
[0023] A first body part 11, in which a first component 111 is provided;
[0024] A second body part 12, in which a second component 121 is provided;
[0025] A bending part 13, the two ends of the bending part 13 are respectively connected to the first body part 11 and the second body part 12, and an electrolyte is injected into the bending part 13, and the first component 111 and the second component 121 are electrically connected through the electrolyte.
[0026] As shown in Figure 1a 、Figure 1b and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the wearable device 10 in the embodiment of the present application includes three parts, namely a first body part 11, a bending part 13, and a second body part 12. Among them, the bending part 13 is a bent component, usually designed to provide a clamping force. For example, the clip in an OWS earphone for providing a clamping force to fix it on a person's ear. The first body part 11 and the second body part 12 can be parts of the wearable device 10 for placing a main board, a battery, or other components, etc. And the first body part 11 and the second body part 12 are respectively located at both ends of the bending part 13 and are connected into one body through the bending part 13. Specifically, both ends of the bending part 13 are fixed to the first body part 11 and the second body part 12 by glue respectively. Taking the OWS earphone as an example, the first body part 11 is the OWS main body, the second body part 12 is the battery compartment, and the bending part 13 is the clip.
[0027] As Figure 2 shown in Figure 2 , a first component 111 is provided in the first body part 11, and a second component 121 is provided in the second body part 12. The first component 111 and the second component 121 can be determined according to the actual type of the wearable device 10. For example, the first component 111 can be devices such as a speaker, a microphone, etc., and the second component 121 can be devices such as a camera, a battery, etc.
[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to electrically connect the first component 111 in the first body part 11 and the second component 121 in the second body part 12 to form a circuit, the inside of the bending part 13 can be hollowed out to leave a hollow channel, and an electrolyte solution, that is, a conductive liquid, is injected into the internal channel, so that the bending part 13 can be used as a conductor, and further the first component 111 and the second component 121 are electrically connected through the electrolyte solution inside the bending part 13.
[0029] Optionally, a first circuit board 112 is further provided in the first body part 11, and the first component 111 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 112;
[0030] A second circuit board 122 is further provided in the second body part 12, and the second circuit board 122 is electrically connected to the second component 121;
[0031] The first circuit board 112 and the second circuit board 122 are electrically connected through the electrolyte solution.
[0032] That is, in some embodiments, circuit boards can be respectively arranged in the first body part 11 and the second body part 12, and the required components are arranged on the circuit boards, and then the circuit boards of the two end body parts are electrically connected through the electrolyte solution in the bending part 13.
[0033] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, a first component 111 and a first circuit board 112 are provided in the first body portion 11, and the first component 111 and the first circuit board 112 are electrically connected. The first circuit board 112 can be a printed circuit board (PCB) or an FPC, and necessary components can be placed thereon according to needs. The first circuit board 112 can also be a main board.
[0034] A second component 121 and a second circuit board 122 are provided in the second body portion 12, and the second circuit board 122 is electrically connected to the second component 121. The second circuit board 122 can be a PCB or an FPC, and necessary components can be placed thereon according to needs.
[0035] In this way, by integrating more necessary components on the circuit board, the wearable device can achieve more functions in a limited layout space.
[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the wearable device 10 can be a wearable earphone, a wearable camera device, a wearable voice device, etc.
[0037] Optionally, the first component 111 includes a speaker, a microphone or a camera, and the second component 121 is a battery.
[0038] That is, in some embodiments, the first component 111 can be a speaker, a microphone or a camera, and can be specifically set according to the specific type or actual needs of the wearable device 10. For example, when the wearable device 10 is a wearable earphone, the first component 111 includes a speaker; when the wearable device 10 is a wearable camera device, the first component 111 includes a camera; when the wearable device 10 is a wearable voice device, the first component 111 includes a microphone.
[0039] The second component 121 is a battery, which is mainly used to provide the power required for the operation of the wearable device 10.
[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, by injecting electrolyte liquid into the bending portion 13, the first circuit board 112 in the first body portion 11 and the second circuit board 122 in the second body portion 12 can be electrically connected through the electrolyte liquid inside the bending portion 13 to form a path. In this way, the first circuit board 112, the internal channel of the bending portion 13 filled with electrolyte liquid, and the second circuit board 122 form a conductive channel.
[0041] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, at least two channels are provided inside the bending portion 13, and electrolyte liquid is respectively injected into each channel.
[0042] That is, in some embodiments, the interior of the bent portion 13 can be divided into multiple channels, and electrolyte liquid can be injected into each of the multiple channels. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the bent portion 13 is divided into multiple parallel channels. The two ends of each channel respectively reach the positions where they are connected to the first main body portion 11 and the second main body portion 12, and the channels are isolated from each other and do not communicate with each other. In this way, the first circuit board 112 and the second circuit board 122 are electrically connected through the electrolyte liquid in the multiple channels, which more effectively ensures the connectivity of the circuit and avoids the situation where the circuit is disconnected and the device cannot work due to problems with the electrolyte liquid in one channel.
[0043] Optionally, a power feeding structure is provided on the first circuit board 112. The target channel among the at least two channels is electrically connected to the power feeding structure. The electrolyte liquid in the other channels among the at least two channels except the target channel is used as a wire connecting the first circuit board 112 and the second circuit board 122;
[0044] Among them, the target channel includes the first channel and / or the second channel. The first channel and the second channel are the channels located on the outer side of the bent portion 13 among the at least two channels, and the other channels are located between the first channel and the second channel.
[0045] The space of existing wearable devices is limited, and the antenna performance is restricted. For this reason, the present application proposes that in some embodiments, some of the multiple channels inside the bent portion 13 can be used as antenna radiation channels, that is, the channels filled with electrolyte liquid are used as antennas to enhance the antenna performance of the wearable device 10, and the remaining channels are used as wires connecting the first circuit board 112 and the second circuit board 122. In other words, the wearable device 10 in the embodiments of the present application receives or transmits signals through the target channels among the multiple channels inside the bent portion 13.
[0046] Since the liquid in these channels is conductive, when the user uses it, no matter how the bent portion 13 is bent and twisted, problems such as fatigue breakage of FPC will not occur, which can improve the service life of the wearable device 10.
[0047] And considering that the clearance environment of the outermost channels of the bent portion 13 is relatively good and is suitable for use as an antenna, therefore, the target channels located on the outer side of the bent portion 13 among the at least two channels of the bent portion 13 can be used as antenna radiation channels. Specifically, a power feeding structure can be provided on the first circuit board 112, and the target channels on the outer side of the bent portion 13 are electrically connected to the power feeding structure. For example, Figure 3 As shown, there are two channels located on the outer side of the bent portion 13, that is to say, the above-mentioned first channel and second channel are respectively Figure 3The left and right two channels located at the outermost side of the bending part 13 are shown. In specific applications, either one of these two channels can be used as the antenna radiation channel, or both channels can be used as the antenna radiation channel. After adding one or two antenna channels outside the bending part 13, together with the original antenna of the wearable device 10, the wearable device 10 can have multiple antenna radiation channels, enabling faster and more stable antenna transmission.
[0048] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, conductive members 131 are respectively arranged at both ends of the bending part 13, and the electrolyte liquid in each of the at least two channels is respectively connected to the first circuit board 112 and the second circuit board 122 through the conductive members 131 at both ends of the bending part 13.
[0049] In some embodiments, conductive members 131 can be respectively arranged at both ends of the bending part 13, such as one end being conductive member PIN-C and the other end being conductive member PIN-F. Specifically, one end of the conductive member 131 located on the side close to the first body part 11 contacts the electrolyte liquid inside the bending part 13, and the other end is connected to the first circuit board 112. One end of the conductive member 131 located on the side close to the second body part 12 contacts the electrolyte liquid inside the bending part 13, and the other end is connected to the second circuit board 122. In specific implementation, both ends of the bending part 13 can be closed or sealed with plugs, etc. One end of the conductive member 131 is inserted into the channel, and the other end is connected to the corresponding circuit board. In this way, the electrolyte liquid inside the bending part 13 can be well conducted with the circuit boards on both sides through the conductive member 131, forming a circuit channel.
[0050] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, insulating plugs 132 are respectively embedded at both ends of each of the at least two channels, and the conductive member 131 passes through the insulating plug 132.
[0051] In some embodiments, insulating plugs 132 can be respectively embedded at both ends of each channel inside the bending part 13, such as one end embedding plastic plug B and the other end embedding plastic plug E. In this way, each channel is sealed after embedding plugs at both ends, which can prevent the electrolyte liquid inside the channel from flowing out. Conductive members 131 are further embedded in the insulating plugs 132 at both ends of each channel, that is, the conductive members 131 corresponding to each channel pass through the insulating plugs 132 embedded in each channel. As Figure 2 shown, the first circuit board 112, the conductive member PIN-C, each channel inside the bending part 13, the conductive member PIN-F, and the second circuit board 122 form a conductive channel.
[0052] Optionally, the conductive member 131 is a copper pillar, and at least two copper pillars are provided at each end of the bent portion 13. Each copper pillar is in contact with the electrolyte solution in one channel, and the number of the at least two copper pillars is the same as the number of the at least two channels.
[0053] In some embodiments, the conductive member 131 may be a copper pillar. As Figure 5 shown, a copper pillar is inserted into each channel, the electrolyte solution in each channel is in contact with the copper pillar in its respective channel, and each copper pillar is connected to the circuit board on the corresponding side. In this way, good electrical conductivity can be ensured.
[0054] Optionally, the bent portion 13 is made of silica gel.
[0055] In some embodiments, the bent portion 13 is made of silica gel. For example, for an OWS earphone, the bent portion 13 is a silica gel clip. In this way, while the bent portion 13 is rich in elasticity and easy to bend, it can effectively isolate each channel and keep each channel independent.
[0056] Optionally, as Figure 4 shown, a clamping groove 133 is provided at one end of the bent portion 13 connecting to the second body portion 12, and the second body portion 12 and the bent portion 13 are clamped through the clamping groove 133.
[0057] As Figure 4 shown, one end of the bent portion 13 connecting to the second body portion 12 is designed as a groove structure to form the clamping groove 133, so that the clamping connection with the second body portion 12 can be realized through the clamping groove 133, making the connection between the second body portion 12 and the bent portion 13 more reliable. It should be noted that the clamping connection between the second body portion 12 and the bent portion 13 can also be further adhesively sealed with glue, so that the wearable device is not only waterproof and sealed but also firm and durable.
[0058] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, an antenna 113 electrically connected to the first circuit board 112 is further provided in the first body portion 11.
[0059] In some embodiments, an antenna 113 electrically connected to the first circuit board 112 is further provided in the first body portion 11. As Figure 2 shown, a ceramic antenna 113 is connected to one end of the first circuit board 112. In this way, the wearable device 10 can transmit and receive signals through the antenna 113, and can also combine with the outer antenna radiation channels in the bent portion 13 to achieve multi-antenna radiation, making the antenna transmission faster and more stable and improving the antenna performance.

In this way, by injecting the electrolyte solution inside the bending portion to replace the original FPC or wire, the problem of being easily broken due to bending can be avoided, and the service life of the wearable device can be improved.
