Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Human-computer interaction of electronic devices refers to the two-way information transmission between humans and electronic devices through input / output components.

[0003] In related technologies, the input components of electronic devices include a rotating ring and a pressing piece. The rotating ring can rotate relative to the frame of the electronic device, and the pressing piece can move relative to the frame of the electronic device. The rotation changes of the rotating ring and the pressing changes of the pressing piece are respectively identified through sensing elements to realize human-computer exchange of the electronic device.

[0004] However, in the related art, the human-computer exchange method of electronic devices requires the user to switch back and forth between the rotating ring and the pressing member during the human-computer interaction process, which makes the human-computer interaction operation complicated and the user experience poor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application discloses an electronic device to solve the problem that during the process of human-computer interaction, the user needs to switch back and forth between a rotating part and a pressing part, resulting in complicated human-computer interaction operations and poor user experience.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0007] The present application discloses an electronic device, which includes a frame having a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other; an outer ring, which is arranged on the first side of the frame and is rotatable relative to the frame; a sensing component, which is arranged on the second side of the frame; and a push rod, which passes through the frame and has one end abutting against the outer ring and the other end abutting against the sensing component; wherein the sensing component is used to sense the rotation angle of the outer ring and / or the pressing pressure of the push rod.

[0008] In the present application, an outer ring is provided on a first side of a frame, and the outer ring can rotate relative to the frame, and a sensing component is provided on a second side of the frame. A push rod is provided through the frame, and one end of the push rod abuts against the outer ring, and the other end abuts against the sensing component. When the user rotates the outer ring, the sensing component can sense the rotation angle of the outer ring and convert the rotation angle of the outer ring into a rotation operation of the electronic device software interaction interface. And / or, when the user presses the position corresponding to the outer ring and the push rod, the push rod is acted upon by the pressing force and moves in the direction of the sensing component. The sensing component can sense the thrust of the push rod and convert the thrust of the push rod into a pressing operation of the electronic device software interaction interface. In other words, the user only needs to rotate the outer ring, or press the position corresponding to the outer ring and the push rod to complete the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device, thereby simplifying the human-computer interaction operation mode of the electronic device and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] An embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device, which includes a frame 10, the frame 10 having a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other; an outer ring 20, the outer ring 20 is arranged on the first side of the frame 10, and the outer ring 20 is rotatable relative to the frame 10; a sensing component 30, the sensing component 30 is arranged on the second side of the frame 10; a push rod 40, the push rod 40 passes through the frame 10, and one end of the push rod 40 abuts against the outer ring 20, and the other end abuts against the sensing component 30; wherein the sensing component 30 is used to sense the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 and / or the pressing pressure of the push rod 40.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be a watch, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be a mobile phone, and the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can also be a tablet computer. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no excessive restriction on the specific type of the electronic device.

[0043] The following description will be made of an electronic device such as a watch or a mobile phone as an example to explain the electronic device disclosed in this application.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a frame 10. The frame 10 is a support member of the electronic device, which is used to carry and fix the motherboard, battery 90 and other components of the electronic device. The frame 10 is arranged between the screen 100 and the cover of the electronic device. The battery 90 is the power source of the electronic device and supplies power to the electronic device. The screen 100 is the display component of the electronic device and provides visual input / output interaction for the electronic device. The motherboard 110, as the core component of the electronic device, undertakes the important task of connecting, controlling and managing various functions of the electronic device.

[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, along the thickness direction of the frame 10, the frame 10 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the first side of the frame 10 is provided with an outer ring 20, which is rotatable relative to the frame 10. In other words, the outer ring 20 is rotatably connected to the first side of the frame 10.

[0046] For example, a slide groove is provided on one side of the frame 10 close to the outer ring 20, and a slide rail is provided on one side of the outer ring 20 close to the frame 10. The slide rail is slidably connected to the slide groove, so that the outer ring 20 can rotate relative to the frame 10. Alternatively, a first engaging groove is provided on one side of the frame 10 close to the outer ring 20, and a second engaging groove is provided on one side of the outer ring 20 close to the frame 10. A portion of the engaging member is engaged with the first engaging groove, and another portion is engaged with the second engaging groove. The outer ring 20 can rotate relative to the engaging member, thereby enabling the outer ring 20 to rotate relative to the frame 10.

[0047] like Figure 10 As shown, the sensing component 30 is disposed on the second side of the frame 10, and the push rod 40 is disposed through the frame 10, with one end of the push rod 40 abutting the outer ring 20 and the other end abutting the sensing component 30. When the user rotates the outer ring 20, the sensing component 30 can sense the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 and convert the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 into a rotation operation of the electronic device software interface.

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, the outer ring 20 has a pressure point 22. Along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the position of the pressure point 22 corresponds to the push rod 40. When the user presses the pressure point 22, the push rod 40 is acted upon by the pressing force and moves toward the sensing component 30. The sensing component 30 can sense the thrust of the push rod 40 and convert the thrust of the push rod 40 into a pressing operation on the electronic device software interface.

[0049] In other words, the user only needs to rotate the outer ring 20, or press the pressing point 22 of the outer ring 20, to complete the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device, thereby simplifying the human-computer interaction operation mode of the electronic device and improving the user experience.

[0050] Taking the electronic device as a watch as an example, there may be only one press point 22, which can be set at the 3 o'clock position on the outer ring 20. There may also be two press points 22, one press point 22 can be set at the 3 o'clock position on the outer ring 20, and the other press point 22 can be set at the 9 o'clock position on the outer ring 20.

[0051] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific number and location of the pressure points 22. In actual applications, technicians can set them as needed. The number of pressure points 22 is the same as the number of push rods 40, and each push rod 40 is corresponding to a pressure point 22.

[0052] In the embodiment of this application, the sensing assembly 30 includes, but is not limited to, a bracket 31, a circuit board 32, a pressure-sensing element 33, a Hall effect element 34, and the like. The functions of the sensing assembly 30 include, but are not limited to, sensing the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 and the pressing pressure of the push rod 40. The specific components and functions of the sensing assembly 30 are not described here. In actual applications, technicians can configure them as needed.

[0053] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application has an outer ring 20 disposed on a first side of a frame 10, which is rotatable relative to the frame 10, and a sensing component 30 disposed on a second side of the frame 10. A push rod 40 is disposed through the frame 10, with one end of the push rod 40 abutting the outer ring 20 and the other end abutting the sensing component 30. When a user rotates the outer ring 20, the sensing component 30 can sense the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 and convert the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 into a rotation operation on the electronic device's software interface. Furthermore, when a user presses the position of the outer ring 20 corresponding to the push rod 40, the push rod 40 is acted upon by the pressing force and moves toward the sensing component 30. The sensing component 30 can sense the thrust of the push rod 40 and convert the thrust of the push rod 40 into a pressing operation on the electronic device's software interface. In other words, the user only needs to rotate the outer ring 20, or press the position of the outer ring 20 corresponding to the push rod 40, to complete the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device, thereby simplifying the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device and improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the sensing component 30 includes: a bracket 31, the bracket 31 is connected to the second side of the frame 10, and an avoidance groove 311 is provided on the bracket 31; a circuit board 32, the circuit board 32 is connected to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10, and the push rod 40 passes through the avoidance groove 311 and abuts against the circuit board 32; a pressure sensing element 33, the pressure sensing element 33 is connected to the side of the circuit board 32 away from the bracket 31, and the pressure sensing element 33 is used to sense the pressing pressure of the push rod 40.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensing assembly 30 disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a bracket 31, which is connected to the second side of the frame 10 and fixes and protects the circuit board 32. Exemplarily, the bracket 31 is bonded to the side of the frame 10 away from the outer ring 20, the bracket 31 is snapped to the side of the frame 10 away from the outer ring 20, and the bracket 31 is detachably connected to the side of the frame 10 away from the outer ring 20.

[0056] The circuit board 32 is connected to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10. For example, the circuit board 32 is bonded to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10, the circuit board 32 is snapped to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10, and the circuit board 32 is detachably connected to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, the bracket 31 is provided with an avoidance groove 311, through which the push rod 40 can pass and abut the circuit board 32. A pressure-sensing element 33 is provided on the side of the circuit board 32 away from the bracket 31. The pressing pressure at the pressure point 22 of the outer ring 20 can be transmitted to the push rod 40, which transmits the pressing pressure to the circuit board 32, and the circuit board 32 transmits the pressing pressure to the pressure-sensing element 33. The pressure-sensing element 33 senses micro-deformation and converts it into an electrical signal. When the micro-deformation reaches a preset deformation amount, it can trigger a press operation in the software interactive interface.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, a bracket 31 is provided on the second side of the frame 10, and a circuit board 32 is connected to the side of the bracket 31 away from the frame 10 so as to fix the circuit board 32 through the bracket 31. A avoidance groove 311 is provided on the bracket 31, and the push rod 40 can pass through the avoidance groove 311 and abut against the circuit board 32. A pressure-sensitive element 33 is provided on the side of the circuit board 32 away from the bracket 31, so as to sense slight deformation through the pressure-sensitive element 33 and convert the slight deformation into an electrical signal, thereby triggering a pressing operation of the software interaction interface. In other words, the user only needs to press the pressing point 22 on the outer ring 20 to complete the pressing human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device, thereby simplifying the human-computer interaction operation mode of the electronic device and improving the user experience.

[0059] It should be noted that the circuit board 32 in the embodiment of the present application may be a rigid-flex board. The circuit board 32 may integrate components such as sensors required by the electronic device. The circuit board 32 is connected to the mainboard 110 via a board-to-board connector. The pressure-sensing element 33 includes, but is not limited to, a piezoelectric sensor, a strain gauge pressure sensor, a piezoresistive pressure sensor, and a capacitive pressure sensor.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of magnetic members 21 are provided on the outer ring 20, and the plurality of magnetic members 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the outer ring 20, and a through hole 312 is provided on the bracket 31; the sensing component 30 also includes a Hall element 34, and the Hall element 34 is connected to a side of the circuit board 32 close to the bracket 31, and is at least partially located in the through hole 312, and the Hall element 34 is used to capture the position change of the magnetic member 21 to determine the rotation angle of the outer ring 20.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer ring 20 is provided with a plurality of magnetic members 21, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer ring 20. For example, the outer ring 20 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer ring 20, and each receiving groove is embedded with at least one magnetic member 21. The magnetic member 21 may be a magnet.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, a through hole 312 is provided in the bracket 31, and a Hall element 34 is provided on a side of the circuit board 32 close to the bracket 31. The Hall element 34 is at least partially located within the through hole 312. When the user rotates the outer ring 20, the Hall element 34 can detect the position change of the magnetic member 21, thereby determining the rotation angle of the outer ring 20, and converting the rotation angle of the outer ring 20 into a rotation operation in the electronic device software interface.

[0063] The Hall element 34 is a semiconductor magnetoelectric device based on the Hall effect, and the Hall element 34 includes but is not limited to a linear Hall element and a switch-type Hall element.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the sensing component 30 further includes a first adhesive member 35 and a second adhesive member 36 . The first adhesive member 35 is bonded between the bracket 31 and the second side of the frame 10 , and the second adhesive member 36 is bonded between the bracket 31 and the circuit board 32 .

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 31 is bonded to the second side of the frame 10 by a first adhesive 35 to secure the bracket 31 to the frame 10. The circuit board 32 is bonded to the bracket 31 by a second adhesive 36 to secure the circuit board 32 to the bracket 31. This simplifies the connection between the bracket 31 and the frame 10, and the connection between the circuit board 32 and the bracket 31.

[0066] It should be noted that the first adhesive member 35 in the embodiment of the present application may be a double-sided tape, and the second adhesive member 36 may also be a double-sided tape. In the embodiment of the present application, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific materials of the first adhesive member 35 and the second adhesive member 36. In actual applications, technicians can choose as needed.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a mounting hole 11 is provided on the frame 10 , and the push rod 40 is passed through the mounting hole 11 ; the electronic device further includes a sealing ring 50 , which is embedded between the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 and the side wall of the push rod 40 .

[0068] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the frame 10 in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a mounting hole 11, the push rod 40 is disposed in the mounting hole 11, and the sealing ring 50 is disposed in the mounting hole 11, and the sealing ring 50 is embedded between the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 and the side wall of the push rod 40. The sealing ring 50 seals the gap between the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 and the side wall of the push rod 11, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the electronic device and ensuring the reliability of the waterproofing of the electronic device.

[0069] For example, a first mounting groove can be set on the inner wall of the mounting hole 11, and a second mounting groove can be set on the side wall of the push rod 40. The first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are arranged opposite to each other, and a part of the sealing ring 50 is placed in the first mounting groove, and the other part of the sealing ring 50 is placed in the second mounting groove, so that the sealing ring 50 is set between the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 and the side wall of the push rod 40.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer ring 20 has a pressing point 22 , and the pressing point 22 is arranged corresponding to the push rod 40 .

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, outer ring 20 has a pressure point 22, which is located along the thickness of the electronic device and corresponds to push rod 40. When a user presses pressure point 22, the pressure is transmitted to push rod 40, which in turn transmits the pressure to circuit board 32, which in turn transmits the pressure to pressure-sensitive element 33. Pressure-sensitive element 33 senses micro-deformation and converts it into an electrical signal. When the micro-deformation reaches a preset value, a press operation is triggered in the software interface.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting a pressure point 22 on the outer ring 20, and the pressure point 22 is set corresponding to the push rod 40, the user only needs to press the pressure point 22 to start the pressing operation of the electronic device software interaction interface, thereby helping to simplify the human-computer interaction operation mode of the electronic device and enhance the user experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the frame 10 includes a frame body 12 and an extension portion 13 connected to the frame body 12. Along the first direction X, the outer ring 20 is arranged on one side of the frame body 12; the electronic device also includes a ball 60, which is arranged between the frame body 12 and the outer ring 20.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, the first direction X is the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the second direction Y intersects the first direction X. Exemplarily, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the second direction Y is the extension direction of the electronic device.

[0075] like Figure 7As shown, the frame 10 includes a frame body 12 and an extension 13 connected to the frame body 12. Along a first direction X, i.e., along the thickness direction of the electronic device, an outer ring 20 is disposed on one side of the frame body 12, with balls 60 disposed between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12. When the outer ring 20 rotates relative to the frame body 12, the balls 60 can reduce friction between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12, thereby making the rotation of the outer ring 20 smoother. Furthermore, the provision of the balls 60 can also prevent the outer ring 20 from directly abutting the frame body 12, which could cause wear on the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12, thereby shortening the service life of the electronic device.

[0076] For example, multiple receiving grooves can be provided on a side of the frame body 12 near the outer ring 20, with the grooves spaced apart along the circumference of the frame body 12. A ball 60 is positioned within each receiving groove, with a portion of the ball 60 positioned within the groove and the remaining portion protruding from the groove. The portion of the ball 60 protruding from the groove abuts against the outer ring 20.

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device further includes a damping pad 70 , which is disposed between the frame body 12 and the outer ring 20 . The damping pad 70 and the ball 60 are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer ring 20 .

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, a damping pad 70 is provided between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12 along a first direction X, i.e., the thickness direction of the electronic device. When the outer ring 20 rotates relative to the frame body 12, the damping pad 70 can increase the friction between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12, providing rotational damping for the outer ring 20, thereby preventing the outer ring 20 from rotating too quickly and affecting the user's experience.

[0079] For example, multiple grooves can be provided on a side of the frame body 12 near the outer ring 20. The grooves are spaced apart along the circumference of the frame body 12, and the grooves alternate with the receiving grooves for accommodating the balls 60 along the circumference of the frame body 12. A damping pad 70 is embedded in each groove, with a portion of the damping pad 70 embedded in the groove and another portion protruding from the groove. The portion of the damping pad 70 protruding from the groove abuts against the outer ring 20.

[0080] It should be noted that the damping pad 70 in the embodiment of the present application can be a silicone pad or a rubber damping pad. In the embodiment of the present application, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific material of the damping pad 70. In actual applications, technicians can choose according to their needs.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the balls 60 and the damping pads 70 are both included in plurality, and the push rod 40 includes at least one; along the circumference of the outer ring 20, the plurality of balls 60, the plurality of damping pads 70 and the at least one push rod 40 are arranged at intervals.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of balls 60, a plurality of damping pads 70, and at least one push rod 40 can be disposed between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12. The plurality of balls 60, the plurality of damping pads 70, and the at least one push rod 40 are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer ring 20. In other words, along the circumference of the outer ring 20, the at least one push rod 40 is disposed between the balls 60 and the damping pads 70. The balls 60 and the damping pads 70 can support the outer ring 20, creating a gap between the outer ring 20 and the frame body 12. This allows the outer ring 20 to locally deform when the pressing point 22 is pressed, and the pressing pressure can be transmitted to the pressure sensing element 33 via the push rod 40.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the specific number of balls 60, damping pads 70 and push rods 40. In actual applications, technicians can set them as needed.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, along the second direction Y, the extension portion 13 is arranged opposite to the outer ring 20 , and the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X; the electronic device further includes a limit member 80 , which is clamped between the outer ring 20 and the extension portion 13 .

[0085] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, along the second direction Y, that is, the extension direction of the electronic device, the extension portion 13 is arranged opposite to the outer ring 20, and the limiting member 80 is clamped between the outer ring 20 and the extension portion 13, so as to limit the outer ring 20 to the extension portion 13 through the outward expansion elastic force of the limiting member 80 itself, so as to prevent the outer ring 20 from falling off.

[0086] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the limiting member 80 can be a retaining spring. Figure 13 As shown, the limiting member 80 may also be a lens. In the embodiment of the present application, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific structure of the limiting member 80. In actual applications, technicians can select according to needs.

[0087] The following description will be made of the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application by taking the limiting member 80 as a clip as an example.

[0088] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, along the second direction Y, a first snap-fit groove is provided on the side of the extension portion 13 close to the outer ring 20, and a second snap-fit groove is provided on the side of the outer ring 20 close to the extension portion 13; a part of the retaining spring is snapped into the first snap-fit groove, and the other part is snapped into the second snap-fit groove.

[0089] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, along the second direction Y, a second clamping groove can be provided on the side of the outer ring 20 close to the extension part 13, and a second clamping groove can be provided on the side of the extension part 13 close to the outer ring 20, a part of the clamping spring is clamped in the first clamping groove, and the other part of the clamping spring is clamped in the second clamping groove, so that the clamping spring is clamped between the outer ring 20 and the extension part 13, and the outer ring 20 is confined to the extension part 13 by the outward expansion elastic force of the clamping spring itself to prevent the outer ring 20 from falling off.

[0090] It should be noted that if Figure 7 As shown, when the user does not press the pressure point 22, the retaining spring restricts upward movement of the outer ring 20 relative to the extension 13 in the first direction X, preventing the outer ring 20 from separating from the extension 13. At this point, the retaining spring does not restrict downward movement of the outer ring 20 relative to the extension 13, nor does it restrict rotation of the outer ring 20 relative to the frame 10. When the user presses the pressure point 22, the area surrounding the pressure point 22 of the outer ring 20 deforms downward in the first direction X, thereby pushing the push rod 40 downward and the corresponding position of the circuit board 32 downward, causing the pressure-sensing element 33 to sense the pressing pressure of the push rod 40.

[0091] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be a mobile phone, wherein the frame 10 can be a camera decorative ring having a third side and a fourth side disposed opposite each other. The outer ring 20 is disposed on the third side of the camera decorative ring and is rotatable relative to the camera decorative ring. The sensing component 30 is disposed on the fourth side of the camera decorative ring. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present application, the outer ring 20 can be restrained on the camera decorative ring by the camera lens, limiting the movement of the outer ring 20 relative to the camera decorative ring in the first direction X to prevent the outer ring 20 from separating from the camera decorative ring. Compared to the solution in the above embodiment, this solution can omit the retaining spring.

[0092] An embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device, which includes a frame having a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other; an outer ring, which is arranged on the first side of the frame and is rotatable relative to the frame; a sensing component, which is arranged on the second side of the frame; and a push rod, which passes through the frame, has one end abutting against the outer ring and the other end abutting against the sensing component; wherein the sensing component is used to sense the rotation angle of the outer ring and / or the pressing pressure of the push rod.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, an outer ring is provided on a first side of a frame, the outer ring being rotatable relative to the frame, and a sensing component is provided on a second side of the frame. A push rod is provided through the frame, with one end of the push rod abutting the outer ring and the other end abutting the sensing component. When a user rotates the outer ring, the sensing component can sense the rotation angle of the outer ring and convert the rotation angle of the outer ring into a rotation operation on the electronic device's software interface. And / or, when a user presses the position of the outer ring corresponding to the push rod, the outer ring undergoes a slight change, and the push rod is acted upon by the pressing force, moving toward the sensing component. The sensing component can sense the thrust of the push rod and convert the thrust of the push rod into a pressing operation on the electronic device's software interface. In other words, when a user presses the position of the outer ring corresponding to the push rod, the slight change in the outer ring can be transmitted to the sensing component via the push rod. The user only needs to rotate the outer ring, or press the position of the outer ring corresponding to the push rod, to complete the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device, thereby simplifying the human-computer interaction operation of the electronic device and improving the user experience.
