Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plastic processing technology, and in particular to a smart watch plastic shell structure and an injection molding process thereof. Background Art

[0002] A smartwatch is a wearable device that combines the functions of a smartphone and a wristwatch. It has core functions such as positioning and anti-loss, audio and video calls, as well as electronic payment, health monitoring, social chat, photography, intelligent object recognition and other functions.

[0003] The shell of a smart watch is mainly made by injection molding. Some functional components need to be implanted during the production of the plastic shell, such as a heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) for monitoring cardiac electrical activity to help users understand their heart health status, an optical sensor (IML) that captures and analyzes the user's motion patterns and collects motion data without interfering with the user, and a motion intelligence module (MIM) that focuses on improving the accuracy and personalized experience of motion tracking and optimizing the bracelet's response and processing capabilities to user motion. The traditional smart watch plastic shell is an integral structure, and the plastic shell is processed in two injection moldings. In one injection molding, the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG), motion intelligence module (MIM) and light guide are simultaneously implanted into the mold for injection molding. Plastic, the plastic shell is formed in one shot, and the optical sensor (IML) is implanted into the surface of the plastic shell in two shots. The heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM) are implanted on the plastic shell to form a partial back cover structure, resulting in a cavity under the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM). The bonding stability between the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM) and the plastic shell is poor, and the cavity also leads to poor pressure bearing effect of the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM). The front and rear mold cores of the two-shot mold are directly pressed together with the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM), which makes the surface of the heart rate monitoring sensor (ECG) and the sports intelligent module (MIM) easily crushed, affecting the yield rate of the plastic shell.

[0004] In response to the above technical bottlenecks, the present invention proposes a smart watch plastic shell structure and its injection molding process. Through innovative plastic shell improvements, it effectively solves the problem that the ECG and MIM surfaces are easily crushed and affect the pass rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a smart watch plastic shell structure and an injection molding process thereof.

[0006] The present invention proposes a plastic shell structure for a smart watch, including an outer shell, a light guide, a sports intelligence module, an optical sensor and a heart rate monitoring sensor. The outer shell is divided into a shell frame and a shell bracket, and the shell frame is clamped to the outer side of the shell bracket, the light guide is installed on the side of the outer shell, the sports intelligence module is fixedly installed on the shell frame, and plastic-coated brackets are installed on both sides of the top of the shell bracket. A metal connector is welded to the bottom of the heart rate monitoring sensor, and the bottom of the metal connector is fixedly connected to the plastic-coated bracket.

[0007] In the present invention, preferably, the interior of the shell frame is provided with a rectangular frame and a button guide groove inserted into the interior of the shell bracket, and the motion intelligence module is molded inside the rectangular frame, the outside of the shell frame is provided with a button mounting groove connected to the button guide groove, and the side of the shell frame is provided with an outer notch connected to the light guide column.

[0008] In the present invention, preferably, one end of the housing bracket is provided with a plastic-wrapped frame that matches the rectangular frame, and the side surface of the housing bracket is provided with an inner notch that matches the light guide column.

[0009] In the present invention, preferably, bracket portions cooperating with the overmolded bracket are provided on both sides of the top of the housing bracket, and a three-shot mold groove adapted to the optical sensor is provided in the center of the top of the housing bracket.

[0010] In the present invention, preferably, an adhesive plastic part is provided between the optical sensor and the three-shot mold groove, and a through groove arranged in a "mesh" shape is provided in the middle of the adhesive plastic part.

[0011] Preferably in the present invention, an electrical connection pin is provided at the bottom of the heart rate monitoring sensor, and the electrical connection pin passes through the plastic-coated bracket and is provided at an internal position of the shell bracket.

[0012] Preferably in the present invention, the metal connecting parts include a first hardware part and a third hardware part welded to the two ends of the bottom of the heart rate monitoring sensor, and a second hardware part welded to the middle position of the bottom of the heart rate monitoring sensor. The bottom positions of the first hardware part, the second hardware part and the third hardware part are all provided with claws embedded in the inside of the plastic-coated bracket.

[0013] In the present invention, preferably, the surface of the plastic-coated bracket is sequentially provided with a first embedding groove, a second embedding groove and a third embedding groove, and the bottoms of the first embedding groove, the second embedding groove and the third embedding groove are all provided with extension grooves.

[0014] In the present invention, preferably, a support portion extending downward is provided at the bottom of the overmolded bracket, and a boss portion engaged with the support portion is provided at the bottom of the shell bracket.

[0015] In the present invention, preferably, a wedge-shaped groove penetrating the second embedding groove is provided between the support portion and the boss portion, and the second hardware is provided with an extension portion extending into the support portion.

[0016] An injection molding process for a smart watch plastic shell structure includes the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: The light guide column is implanted into a one-shot molding mold and the housing bracket is made by one-shot injection molding.

[0018] Step 2: Assemble the sports smart module, heart rate monitoring sensor and shell bracket together in the secondary molding mold. Through two-shot injection molding, form a shell frame on the outside of the shell bracket. Overmold the sports smart module in a rectangular frame inserted into the shell bracket. At the same time, form an overmolded bracket between the shell bracket and the heart rate monitoring sensor, so that an overmolded structure is formed between the sports smart module, the heart rate monitoring sensor and the plastic shell of the watch.

[0019] Step 3: Install the optical sensor and the secondary molded outer shell together in the tertiary molding mold. At this time, the optical sensor is set in the middle position of the three-shot mold slot. Through the third injection molding, an adhesive plastic part that wraps the bottom surface of the optical sensor is formed in the gap between the optical sensor and the three-shot mold slot. The optical sensor is implanted into the secondary molded product. After the third injection molding is completed, the plastic shell with the sports intelligence module, optical sensor and heart rate monitoring sensor installed is formed.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a smart watch plastic shell structure and its injection molding process, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The original plastic watch case is divided into two parts: a case frame and a case bracket. The case bracket is made by one-shot injection molding, and a light guide is implanted on the case bracket. Next, the sports smart module, heart rate monitoring sensor, and case bracket are assembled together in a two-shot mold. Then, a case frame is formed on the outside of the case bracket by two-shot injection molding. The sports smart module is overmolded in a rectangular frame inserted into the inside of the case bracket. At the same time, an overmolded bracket is formed between the case bracket and the heart rate monitoring sensor. This forms an overmolded structure between the sports smart module, the heart rate monitoring sensor, and the plastic watch case, effectively preventing the sports smart module and the heart rate monitoring sensor from falling off.

[0022] By providing brackets on both sides of the housing bracket, multiple supporting ribs are formed below the heart rate monitor sensor, significantly enhancing the heart rate monitor sensor's resistance to pressure. Furthermore, when the overmolded bracket is formed between the housing bracket and the heart rate monitor sensor through two-shot injection molding, multiple raised portions are formed at the bottom of the overmolded bracket, which fit into the gaps in the bracket, significantly enhancing the firmness between the heart rate monitor sensor and the watch's plastic casing.

[0023] By arranging the first, second, and third hardware parts at the bottom of the heart rate monitor sensor, in the two-shot mold, the claw structures at the bottom of the first, second, and third hardware parts provide support for the bottom of the heart rate monitor sensor, effectively enhancing the stability of the heart rate monitor sensor installation. In addition, the metal connector and the overmolded bracket constitute an elastic protection structure in the three-shot mold, preventing the surface of the heart rate monitor sensor from being compressed and damaged in the three-shot mold.

[0024] After the shell bracket is formed, some notches are reserved in the boss part. When the heart rate monitoring sensor is implanted, the extended part of the second hardware is embedded in the boss part to form a limiting structure to avoid the second hardware from being offset during the second injection molding of the overmolded bracket. The overmolded bracket is entirely covered in the second hardware to form mutually meshing support parts and boss parts, further enhancing the stability of the installation of the heart rate monitoring sensor and improving the stability of the back cover structure of the plastic shell part that constitutes the heart rate monitoring sensor.
