DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] The directional nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., are generally represented by Figure 1 The relative relationship of the orientation shown in the figure is used as the basis, and these orientation terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationship between structures, not to describe absolute orientation. When the product is placed in different postures, the orientation may change, for example, "up" and "down" may be interchangeable.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0041] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] A first aspect of the present application provides a housing assembly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly includes a check member 1, a watch case 2, a gear ring 3 and a bezel 4. The check member 1 is connected to the watch case 2. The gear ring 3 is connected to the watch case 2 and can rotate relative to the watch case 2. The check member 1 is arranged opposite to the toothed portion 31 of the gear ring 3 to limit the rotation of the gear ring 3 in a first direction. The bezel 4 can rotate relative to the watch case 2, wherein the bezel 4 can be separated from the gear ring 3 when rotating in the first direction, and can drive the toothed portion 31 of the gear ring 3 to cooperate with the check member 1 to generate vibration when rotating in the second direction.

[0043] It is understandable that the rotation of the bezel 4 in the second direction can drive the tooth portion 31 to cooperate with the check member 1 to generate vibration and feedback to the user. The bezel 4 can help the limiting function module, which can be separated from the gear ring 3 when rotating in the first direction, which is beneficial for the user to separate the housing assembly and the function module to improve the efficiency of disassembly.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, rotation may refer to that, except for the part located on the rotation axis, the other parts of the bezel 4 all move in circles of different sizes around the same rotation axis, so the first direction and the second direction are opposite. The first direction may be clockwise, and the second direction may be counterclockwise. The first direction may also be counterclockwise, and the second direction may be clockwise.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the check member 1 is connected to the watch case 2. The watch case 2 can support the check member 1 so that it can cooperate with the tooth portion 31 of the gear ring 3. The matching tooth portion 31 and the check member 1 can generate vibrations, which can be fed back to the user. The check member 1 and the watch case 2 can be connected by welding, bolting, gluing or integral molding.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the ring gear 3 is connected to the watch case 2 and can rotate relative to the watch case 2. On the one hand, the rotating ring gear 3 can cooperate with the check member 1 to generate vibration, and it is also convenient for designers to use the rotatable ring gear 3 to complete disassembly.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the check member 1 is arranged opposite to the tooth portion 31 of the gear ring 3 to limit the rotation of the gear ring 3 in the first direction. When the check member 1 limits the rotation of the gear ring 3 in the first direction, it can generate pressure on the tooth portion 31 in the opposite direction to the first direction, which is conducive to the separation of the gear ring 3 from the bezel 4, thereby completing the disassembly.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the bezel 4 can rotate relative to the watch case 2, wherein the bezel 4 can be separated from the gear ring 3 when rotating along a first direction, thereby simplifying the disassembly process of the shell assembly of the present application and improving its disassembly efficiency.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, when the bezel 4 rotates in the second direction, it can drive the teeth 31 of the gear ring 3 to cooperate with the check member 1 to generate vibration. The vibrating teeth 31 and the check member 1 can be fed back to the user through the watch case 2.

[0050] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the non-return member 1 includes a non-return paddle 11 and a supporting portion 12 . The supporting portion 12 is connected to the non-return paddle 11 . The non-return paddle 11 protrudes from the supporting portion 12 and forms an angle with the supporting portion 12 .

[0051] It is understandable that the non-return paddle 11, which forms an angle with the support portion 12, can collide with the tooth portion 31 of the gear ring 3 multiple times, and the colliding tooth portion 31 and the non-return portion can generate periodic or non-periodic vibrations. The support portion 12 can maintain the contact between the non-return paddle 11 and the tooth portion 31, which is conducive to the vibration of the non-return paddle 11. At the same time, the support portion 12 can transmit the vibration of the non-return paddle 11 to the watch case 2.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the support portion 12 and the non-return paddle 11 can be connected to each other by bonding, welding, etc., and can also be connected by an integrated molding process.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the anti-return member 1 may collide with the tooth portion 31 due to the anti-return paddle 11 thereof. The thrust generated by the collision may easily cause the support portion 12 to be displaced relative to the watch case 2. Such displacement may weaken the support stability of the support portion 12 and reduce the intensity of vibration. Figure 5 As shown, the anti-return member 1 includes a first limiting portion 13, which is connected to the support portion 12, and the anti-return paddle 11 and the first limiting portion 13 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the support portion 12, and the watch case 2 has a second limiting portion 21, and the first limiting portion 13 and the second limiting portion 21 are matched and connected to limit the rotation of the support portion 12 relative to the watch case 2. This is conducive to improving the support stability of the support portion 12.

[0054] It can be understood that the first limiting portion 13 cooperates with the second limiting portion 21 to limit the rotation of the support portion 12 relative to the case 2, which is conducive to transmitting the thrust generated by the collision between the check lever 11 and the tooth portion 31 to the case 2, and can also feed back the vibration to the user through the case 2.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting portion 13 is a groove, the second limiting portion 21 is a convex portion, and the first limiting portion 13 extends into the second limiting portion 21 to form a fit.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting portion 13 is a convex portion, the second limiting portion 21 is a concave portion, and the first limiting portion 13 extends into the second limiting portion 21 to form a fit.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, there may be a plurality of first limiting portions 13 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the non-return member 1 .

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple second limiting portions 21 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the watch case 2 .

[0059] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 3As shown, the housing assembly includes a transmission member 5 , which is connected to the bezel 4 . The outer side of the gear ring 3 has a transmission groove 301 . A portion of the transmission member 5 is located in the transmission groove 301 and abuts against the gear ring 3 .

[0060] It can be understood that a portion located in the transmission groove 301 can interfere with the transmission member 5, thereby hindering the rotation of the bezel 4 relative to the ring gear 3. This is beneficial for the transmission member 5 to transmit the torque generated by the rotation of the bezel 4 to the ring gear 3, thereby causing the bezel 4 to drive the ring gear 3 to rotate, and drive the ring gear 3 to cooperate with the check member 1 to produce vibration.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission member 5 and the bezel 4 may be connected by bolt connection, bonding or welding, or by two or more of the above methods.

[0062] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 3 As shown, the transmission member 5 has an elastic protrusion 51, which protrudes in a direction away from the bezel 4. The elastic protrusion 51 can abut against the side wall of the transmission groove 301, and the bezel 4 can drive the elastic protrusion 51 to rotate along the first direction to escape from the transmission groove 301.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, when the elastic protrusion 51 abuts against the side wall of the transmission groove 301, elastic deformation can be generated and continuously applied to the side wall of the transmission groove 301 and transmitted to the ring gear 3, which is conducive to the bezel 4 driving the ring gear 3 to rotate; when the elastic protrusion 51 is out of the transmission groove 301, the bezel 4 and the ring gear 3 can rotate relative to each other, which is conducive to the separation of the bezel 4 and the ring gear 3.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic protrusion 51 may be made of a material capable of elastic deformation, or may be made into a shape such as a spring so as to have the ability to elastically deform.

[0065] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the gear ring 3 has a third limiting portion 32, which extends along the rotation direction of the gear ring 3, and the bezel 4 has a fourth limiting portion 41. The third limiting portion 32 and the transmission groove 301 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the gear ring 3, and the fourth limiting portion 41 extends along the rotation direction of the bezel 4. The third limiting portion 32 and the fourth limiting portion 41 are arranged in sequence along the rotation axis of the bezel 4 and are matched with each other.

[0066] It can be understood that the third limiting portion 32 and the fourth limiting portion 41 are helpful to limit the displacement of the bezel 4 and the gear ring 3 along the direction of the rotation axis, so as to improve the stability between the two.

[0067] During assembly, the bezel 4 can be sleeved on the gear ring 3 along the extension direction of its rotation axis and rotate relative to the gear ring 3 until the third limiting portion 32 and the fourth limiting portion 41 form a fit and the elastic protrusion 51 extends into the transmission groove 301, thus completing the assembly.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the third limiting portion 32 and the fourth limiting portion 41 are both convex portions, and the lower bottom surface of the third limiting portion 32 is in contact with the upper top surface of the fourth limiting portion 41 .

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, there may be a plurality of third limiting portions 32 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the ring gear 3 .

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, there may be a plurality of fourth limiting portions 41 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bezel 4 .

[0071] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing assembly further includes a lifting member 7 , which abuts against the bezel 4 so that the fourth limiting portion 41 abuts against the third limiting portion 32 .

[0072] It is understandable that the lifting member 7 can keep the third limiting portion 32 and the fourth limiting portion 41 in contact with each other, thereby improving the compactness of the housing assembly of the present application. Specifically, when the lifting member 7 abuts against the bezel 4, a thrust is generated on the bezel 4 along the extension direction of its rotation axis, and the thrust causes the fourth limiting portion 41 to abut against the third limiting portion 32, thereby improving the compactness of the housing assembly of the present application.

[0073] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell assembly also includes a limit member 6, the case 2 has a first limit groove 201, the first limit groove 201 extends along the rotation direction of the ring gear 3, the ring gear 3 has a second limit groove 302, the second limit groove 302 extends along the rotation direction of the ring gear 3, the opening of the first limit groove 201 is arranged opposite to the opening of the second limit groove 302, and the limit member 6 is located in the first limit groove 201 and the second limit groove 302.

[0074] It is understandable that the limiting member 6 is located in the first limiting groove 201 and the second limiting groove 302, and can interfere with the first limiting groove 201 and the second limiting groove 302. Since the first limiting groove 201 and the second limiting groove 302 extend along the rotation direction of the ring gear 3, this interference will cause the case 2 and the ring gear 3 to maintain a relatively stable positional relationship, making it difficult for the bezel 4 to escape from the case 2 along the extension direction of its rotation axis.

[0075] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 2As shown, the limiting member 6 includes a plurality of limiting sections 61 , and the plurality of limiting sections 61 are connected in sequence, and an angle is formed between two adjacent limiting sections 61 .

[0076] It can be understood that such a configuration is beneficial for each limiting section 61 to be located in the first limiting groove 201 and the second limiting groove 302 at the same time, which can enhance the interference effect.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the angle formed between two adjacent limiting joints 61 may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0078] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 4 As shown, the watch case 2 has a receiving cavity 202 , the bezel 4 is located at the opening of the receiving cavity 202 , and the bezel 4 covers at least a portion of the opening of the receiving cavity 202 .

[0079] It is understandable that the case 2 can place and support the functional module through the accommodating cavity 202, and the gear ring 3 and the bezel 4 are both located at the opening position of the accommodating cavity 202, which is beneficial for the gear ring 3 and the bezel 4 to limit the functional components located in the accommodating cavity 202.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the shell assembly may further include a screen assembly, the bezel 4 is ring-shaped, the screen is located on the inner side of the bezel 4 and connected to the bezel 4, so that the functional module located in the accommodating cavity 202 can be shielded by the screen.

[0081] A second aspect of the present application provides a wearable device, wherein the wearable device includes a housing assembly as described in the above embodiment.

[0082] It can be understood that, due to the adoption of the shell assembly of the above-mentioned embodiment, the wearable device of the present application has the same technical effect as the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present application, the wearable device may be a product such as a watch.

[0084] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly defined.
