Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic devices, and particularly to a composite connection structure for wearable electronic devices. Background Art

[0002] Wearable devices play an increasingly important role in the fields of medical care, health monitoring, sports tracking, etc. With the continuous improvement of people's attention to their own health status, the demand for wearable devices is also increasing day by day. And designing a reliable and convenient fixing structure is crucial for the effective use of wearable devices.

[0003] To ensure the accurate operation of wearable devices, it is usually necessary to keep the devices in close contact with the human body to accurately collect human physiological signals for specific monitoring functions. If the connection between the wristband of the device and the device main body is unreliable, the position of the device main body on the human body may change, which may lead to inaccurate data collection and affect the judgment and analysis of the health status. For example, during exercise, unstable fixation may prevent the sensors in the device main body from accurately sensing key data such as heart rate and step frequency, thus reducing the applicability of the device.

[0004] The existing wearing and fixing methods of wearable devices are divided into strap fixing, buckle fixing, adhesive fixing, and other mechanical fixing methods. Using strap fixing is prone to loosening. After strenuous exercise or long-term use, the strap may gradually loosen, resulting in the device main body not being firmly fixed; using buckle fixing has poor stability. After being impacted by external forces or used frequently, the buckle may become loose or damaged, affecting the continuous fixing effect of the device main body; the adhesive strength of adhesive fixing will decrease over time and with the number of uses, and it is easy to cause the device main body to fall off, and its long-term firmness is difficult to guarantee; other mechanical structure fixing methods have complex mechanical structures, inconvenient operation, and the mechanical components are prone to fixation, with low reliability. Since the reliability of the connection between the device main body and the wristband is difficult to guarantee during long-term use, and it is also impossible to provide an indication of whether the connection is effective or not, the device main body is prone to detach from the wristband due to loose and unreliable connection during use, resulting in the device main body being directly lost after detachment during use and being difficult to be discovered by the user, increasing the use cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problem in the prior art that the wearable device cannot determine whether an effective connection is achieved after the wristband is connected to the device main body, resulting in the device main body being easily detached from the human body and lost, and thus provides a composite connection structure for wearable electronic devices.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A composite connection structure for a wearable electronic device, comprising a wristband patch and a signal host connected to the wristband patch. A patch sensing structure is provided on the wristband patch. The signal host includes a housing and a contact electrification structure disposed in the housing and cooperating with the patch sensing structure. The patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure are adapted to cooperate to sense whether there is an effective connection between the wristband patch and the signal host. A connection indicator is provided in the device host, and the connection indicator is adapted to provide an indication when there is an effective connection between the wristband patch and the signal host.

[0008] Further, both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure are magnetic structures, and the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure are adapted to automatically adsorb when approaching each other.

[0009] Further, electromagnetic coils are provided in both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure.

[0010] Further, the electromagnetic coil in the signal host is a spring-type bending structure surrounded by a plane in a ring shape.

[0012] Further, an asymmetric mounting cavity is provided in the housing. The contact electrification structure includes a mounting plate with an asymmetric structure. The signal transmission structure is disposed in the middle of the mounting plate, and the electromagnetic coil on the contact electrification structure is disposed on the outer periphery of the signal transmission structure.

[0013] Further, the signal transmission structure includes a conductive outer shell disposed on the mounting plate and a fluid conductive substance disposed in the conductive outer shell; the conductive outer shell is a capillary tube, and the fluid conductive substance is a conductive metal or conductive organic glass.

[0014] Further, a polytetrafluoroethylene-plated and copper composite coating is provided on the side of the wristband patch close to the signal host, and a polyethylene-plated and copper composite coating is provided on the side of the signal host close to the wristband patch.

[0015] Further, an intelligent control system is provided in the signal host. The intelligent control system is adapted to control the extension of the fluid conductive substance in the capillary tube when the connection between the signal host and the wristband patch fails, so as to make the connection between the signal host and the wristband patch stable.

[0016] Furthermore, electromagnetic adsorption structures are provided both in the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure, which are adapted to connect or disconnect the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure by turning on or off the current of the two electromagnetic adsorption structures.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. For the composite connection structure for wearable electronic devices provided by the present invention, by respectively arranging mutually matching contact electrification structures in the wristband patch and the signal host, a connection indicator can be used for prompting after an effective connection is established between the wristband patch and the signal host, so as to determine whether an effective connection is achieved after the wristband is connected to the device host. In this way, reliable prompts can be obtained when the connection of the device host is loose and unreliable during use, avoiding the loss of the device host due to the user's ignorance of the loose connection of the device host.

[0019] 2. For the composite connection structure for wearable electronic devices provided by the present invention, both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure are magnetic structures, and the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure are adapted to automatically adsorb when approaching each other. With such a setting, automatic adsorption can be achieved through the contact electrification structure when the wristband patch and the signal host are loose but not separated, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable effective connection between the wristband patch and the signal host.

[0020] 3. For the composite connection structure for wearable electronic devices provided by the present invention, electromagnetic coils are provided both in the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure. With such a setting, since the electromagnetic coil can generate an induced current during operation, through the increase rate and the magnitude after stabilization of the induced current and the changes during operation, and by using algorithms such as neural networks, learning and memory of the body structure of a specific user can be achieved, so as to identify the specific user, and according to the tissue and physical conditions of the specific user, adapt the signal input and output processing methods of this wearable electronic device.

[0034] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] As Figures 1-7 shown, a composite connection structure for a wearable electronic device includes a wristband patch 1 and a signal host 2 connected to the wristband patch 1. A patch sensing structure is provided on the wristband patch 1. The signal host 2 includes a housing 3 and a contact electrification structure 4 disposed in the housing 3 and cooperating with the patch sensing structure. The patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4 are adapted to cooperate to sense whether there is an effective connection between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2. A connection indicator light is provided in the device host and is adapted to provide an indication when there is an effective connection between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2.

[0039] This composite connection structure for a wearable electronic device can, by respectively providing cooperating contact electrification structures 4 in the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2, give a prompt through the connection indicator light after an effective connection is established between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2, so as to be able to determine whether an effective connection is achieved after the wristband is connected to the device host. In this way, a reliable prompt can be obtained when the connection of the device host is loose and unreliable during use, avoiding the loss of the device host due to the user's ignorance of the loose connection.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4 are magnetic structures, and the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4 are adapted to automatically adsorb when approaching each other. With such a setting, when the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2 are loose but not separated, they can be automatically adsorbed through the contact electrification structure 4, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable effective connection between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, electromagnetic coils 5 are provided in both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4. With such a setting, since the electromagnetic coils 5 can generate induced current during operation, by using algorithms such as neural networks based on the amplification speed, the magnitude after stabilization, and the changes during operation of the induced current, learning and memory of the body structure of a specific user can be realized, so as to identify the specific user, and according to the tissue and physical conditions of the specific user, adapt the signal input and output processing methods of this wearable electronic device. In an alternative embodiment, electromagnetic adsorption structures are provided in both the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4, and are adapted to connect or disconnect the patch sensing structure and the contact electrification structure 4 by turning on or off the current of the two electromagnetic adsorption structures.

[0042] Specifically, the electromagnetic coil 5 in the signal host 2 is a spring-type bending structure formed by planar winding into a ring. With such a setting, by setting the electromagnetic coil 5 as a planar-wound spring-type bending structure, the anti-bending and anti-stretching effects of the electromagnetic coil 5 can be realized, and the service life of the electromagnetic coil can be extended.

[0043] In this embodiment, a signal transmission structure 6 is provided in both the signal host 2 and the wristband patch 1 at the central part of the corresponding electromagnetic coil 5 in a ring shape. The signal transmission structure 6 is adapted to connect and transmit signals.

[0044] Specifically, an asymmetric mounting cavity is provided in the housing 3. The contact electrification structure 4 includes a mounting plate 7 with an asymmetric structure. The signal transmission structure 6 is arranged in the middle of the mounting plate 7, and the electromagnetic coil 5 on the contact electrification structure 4 is arranged on the outer periphery of the signal transmission structure 6.

[0045] Specifically, the signal transmission structure 6 includes a conductive outer shell 8 arranged on the mounting plate 7 and a flowing conductive substance arranged in the conductive outer shell 8; the conductive outer shell 8 is a capillary tube, and the flowing conductive substance is a conductive metal or conductive organic glass. With such a setting, since the conductive outer shell 8 is a capillary tube, the capillary effect can be utilized, and the flowing conductive substance can extend a certain distance outside the capillary conductive outer shell 8, so as to ensure a reliable connection of the signal through the automatic telescopic property of the flowing conductive substance when there is a displacement between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2, thereby avoiding the problem that the collected data is inaccurate due to a certain change in the position of the wearable electronic device on the human body.

[0046] In this embodiment, a polytetrafluoroethylene-plated and copper composite coating is provided on the side of the wristband patch 1 close to the signal host 2, and a polyethylene-plated and copper composite coating is provided on the side of the signal host 2 close to the wristband patch 1. With such a setting, through the contact electrification material layers provided with two different coatings, when the wristband patch 1 is attached to the signal host 2, a pulse signal will occur, and then the signal host 2 can detect this pulse signal, so as to confirm whether the connection between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2 is in place. And this contact electrification structure does not require an additional power supply, which can effectively reduce energy consumption. In an alternative embodiment, the coatings on the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2 can both be a composite material layer of any one of copper, polyamide, and aluminum and any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, polydimethylsiloxane, polytetrafluoroethylene, and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer, and only the coatings on the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2 need to be set as two different composite coatings.

[0047] Specifically, an intelligent control system is provided in the signal host 2. The intelligent control system is adapted to control the extended part of the flowing conductive substance in the capillary tube when the connection between the signal host 2 and the wristband patch 1 fails, so as to make the connection between the signal host 2 and the wristband patch 1 stable. With such a setting, when the connection between the signal host 2 and the wristband patch 1 fails, active adjustment can be performed through the intelligent control system, so that a stable connection is always maintained between the signal host 2 and the wristband patch 1.

[0048] In summary, by respectively arranging the triboelectric charging structures 4 that cooperate with each other in the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2, a connection indicator can be used for prompting after an effective connection is established between the wristband patch 1 and the signal host 2, so as to determine whether an effective connection is achieved after the wristband is connected to the device host. In this way, a reliable prompt can be obtained when the connection of the device host is loose and unreliable during use, avoiding the loss caused by the user's ignorance of the loose connection of the device host.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
