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] The first aspect of the present application provides a housing structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing structure includes an elastic part 1, a shell 2, a locking member 3 and a ring body 4. The elastic part 1 is connected to the shell 2. The locking member 3 is connected to the shell 2, and the locking member 3 can move relative to the shell 2 to separate and connect the shell 2 and the ring body 4. The ring body 4 can rotate relative to the shell 2 to drive the elastic part 1 to vibrate.
[0043] It is understandable that the rotatable ring body 4 can be used as a button to help the user interact with the functional module. The ring body 4 generates vibration by driving the elastic part 1, which can be fed back to the user when rotating. The locking member 3 can separate the shell 2 from the ring body 4, so that the shell structure of the present application can be directly replaced for repair when the ring body 4 is damaged, thereby reducing the difficulty of repair.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotatable ring body 4 can be used as a button to help the user interact with the functional module. Among them, when the shell structure of the present application is used as a part of an electronic device, the electronic device can monitor the rotation of the ring body 4 by adding a Hall device, or using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification technology), light sensing and other technologies, and execute the corresponding command operation when the rotation of the ring body 4 is detected. The command operation may include operations such as type identification of the ring body 4, menu switching, and screen zooming.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the ring body 4 generates vibration by driving the elastic part 1, which can be fed back to the user when rotating. The ring body 4 can generate vibration by reciprocating collision with the elastic part 1, or can generate a command operation that can cause the elastic part 1 to vibrate when rotating, thereby generating vibration. The method of generating the command operation belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated here.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the locking member 3 can realize the separation of the shell 2 and the ring body 4, so that when the ring body 4 is damaged, the shell structure of the present application can be directly replaced for maintenance, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance. When the locking member 3 connects the shell 2 and the ring body 4, the ring body 4 can rotate on the shell 2; when the locking member 3 separates the shell 2 and the ring body 4, the ring body 4 can be removed from the shell 2, which is conducive to the replacement of the ring body 4 of the shell structure of the present application. The locking member 3 can maintain connection with one of the shell 2 or the ring body 4, and form a connection with the other of the two through a certain external force. When the external force is removed or offset, the ring body 4 can be removed from the shell.
[0047] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig.12 As shown, the ring body 4 has a first limiting portion 41, and the locking member 3 has a second limiting portion 31. The locking member 3 can drive the second limiting portion 31 to move so that the second limiting portion 31 and the first limiting portion 41 can be matched, connected and separated.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first limiting portion 41 is matched with the second limiting portion 31, the ring body 4 and the shell 2 can be connected, so that the ring body 4 can rotate relative to the shell 2; when the first limiting portion 41 is separated from the second limiting portion 31, the ring body 4 can be removed from the shell 2, making it convenient for the user to replace the new ring body 4.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting portion 41 may be a slot, and the second limiting portion 31 may be a buckle, and the two are matched to connect the ring body 4 and the shell 2.
[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting portion 41 may be a buckle, and the second limiting portion 31 may be a slot, and the two are matched to connect the ring body 4 and the shell 2.
[0051] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the shell 2 has a third limiting portion 21, the ring body 4 has a fourth limiting portion 42, the third limiting portion 21 extends along the circumferential direction of the shell 2, the third limiting portion 21 has a notch 2101, the orthographic projection of the notch 2101 on the shell 2 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second limiting portion 31 on the shell 2, the fourth limiting portion 42 is matched with the third limiting portion 21 and can be separated from the third limiting portion 21 through the notch 2101.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the third limiting portion 21 extends along the circumferential direction of the housing 2, and can guide the rotation of the ring body 4. The third limiting portion 21 cooperates with the fourth limiting portion 42, which is conducive to the rotation of the ring body 4 on the housing 2. The notch 2101 of the third limiting portion 21 allows the fourth limiting portion 42 to escape from the third limiting portion 21. The separation of the third limiting portion 21 and the fourth limiting portion 42 is conducive to the removal of the ring body 4 from the housing 2, and it is convenient for users to replace a new ring body 4.
[0053] When the ring body 4 is removed from the housing 2, the fourth limiting portion 42 needs to be rotated to the position of the notch 2101 before the first limiting portion 41 and the second limiting portion 31 can be separated, which can increase the complexity of disassembling the ring body 4 and the housing 2. Increasing the complexity of disassembling the two can reduce the situation where the housing structure of the present application is separated by external force.
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the third limiting portion 21 may be a groove 201 , and the fourth limiting portion 42 may be a protrusion, and the two are matched to connect the ring body 4 and the shell 2 .
[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the third limiting portion 21 may be a groove 201 , and the fourth limiting portion 42 may be a protrusion, and the two are matched to connect the ring body 4 and the shell 2 .
[0056] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 6 As shown, the third limiting portion 21 is located on the inner side of the ring body 4 .
[0057] It is understandable that the third limiting portion 21 located inside the ring body 4 can be shielded and hidden by the ring body 4. The hidden third limiting portion 21 can reduce the situation of being damaged by direct collision with external objects.
[0058] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 1As shown, the number of notches 2101 is at least two, and two of the at least two notches 2101 are arranged opposite to each other. The number of locking members 3 is at least two, and two of the at least two locking members 3 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two notches 2101.
[0059] It is understandable that more than two notches 2101 and locking members 3 are conducive to increasing the positions on the housing 2 from which the ring body 4 can escape. Exemplarily, when the fourth limiting portion 42 is not located at the notch 2101, it can be rotated in any direction to enter a position closer to the notch 2101, so that the ring body 4 and the housing 2 can be separated by moving the locking member 3.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the notches 2101 may be 2, 3, or 4, or any other number.
[0061] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 4 and Fig.11 As shown, the shell 2 has a fifth limiting portion 22, and the locking member 3 includes a first elastic member 32, a main body 33 and a sixth limiting portion 34. The first elastic member 32 connects the main body 33 and the shell 2, and the sixth limiting portion 34 cooperates with the fifth limiting portion 22. The extension direction of the first elastic member 32 is parallel to the extension direction of the fifth limiting portion 22.
[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the cooperation of the fifth limiting portion 22 and the sixth limiting portion 34 is conducive to the movement of the main body 33 in a straight line direction. By pushing the main body 33, the user can make the first elastic member 32 generate a reset force when it is pressed by the main body 33, and the reset force can drive the main body 33 to reset when the user's push is removed. By providing a main body 33 that can be actively reset, the shell structure of the present application is conducive to improving the reliability of its separation and connection of the ring body 4 and the shell 2.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first elastic members 32 may be two, and the axes of the two first elastic members 32 are arranged in parallel.
[0064] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 7 As shown, the housing 2 has a groove 201 , and the main body 33 is located in the groove 201 and can move along the length direction of the groove 201 .
[0065] It is understandable that the groove 201 can help the shell 2 to hide the main body 33 and reduce the situation where the main body 33 protrudes from the shell 2, thereby preventing the main body 33 from being damaged by collision.
[0066] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 7As shown, the number of the sixth limiting parts 34 is at least two, and two of the at least two sixth limiting parts 34 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 33, the number of the fifth limiting parts 22 corresponds to the number of the sixth limiting parts 34, and each sixth limiting part 34 is matched and connected with a fifth limiting part 22. It can be understood that at least two fifth limiting parts 22 and sixth limiting parts 34 are conducive to improving the stability of the main body 33 when moving.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the fifth limiting portions 22 may be 2, 3, or 4, or other numbers.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the sixth limiting portions 34 may be two, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the main body 33 .
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the sixth limiting portion 34 may be a convex portion, and the fifth limiting portion 2 may be a concave portion, and the two cooperate with each other to limit the moving direction of the main body 33. The concave portion may have an opening for the sixth limiting portion 34 to be placed in, and a steel sheet may be fixed on the opening to limit the sixth limiting portion 34 from escaping from the opening.
[0070] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 8 As shown, the ring body 4 includes a plurality of tooth portions 43 , and the plurality of tooth portions 43 are arranged along the rotation direction of the ring body 4 .
[0071] It is understandable that the tooth portion 43 can repeatedly squeeze the elastic portion 1 when rotating, causing it to hit the ring body 4 and generate vibration. Specifically, the tooth portion 43 will pass through the elastic portion 1 when rotating, and it can squeeze the elastic portion 1, causing it to undergo elastic deformation. After the tooth portion 43 passes through the elastic portion 1, the elastic portion 1 recovers from the elastic deformation and hits the ring body 4, and vibration is generated in this reciprocating manner.
[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the teeth 43 may be 120, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the ring body 4.
[0073] In some of the embodiments of this application, Fig. 9 As shown, the ring body 4 includes a plurality of recesses 44 , and the plurality of recesses 44 are arranged along the rotation direction of the ring body 4 .
[0074] It is understandable that the ring body 4 can repeatedly squeeze the elastic part 1 when rotating, causing it to hit the ring body 4 and generate vibration. Specifically, the ring body 4 can squeeze the elastic part 1 when rotating, causing it to undergo elastic deformation. When the recess 44 passes through the elastic part 1, the elastic part 1 recovers from the elastic deformation and hits the ring body 4, and vibration is generated in this reciprocating manner.
[0075] In some of the embodiments of this application, Figure 6As shown, the elastic part 1 includes a second elastic member 11 and a head 12 . The second elastic member 11 connects the shell 2 and the head 12 , and the head 12 protrudes from the shell 2 .
[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the head 12 can withstand the extrusion from the ring body 4, and generate pressure on the second elastic member 11, and the pressure compresses the second elastic member 11. When the pressure is removed, the second elastic member 11 recovers and drives the head 12 to hit the ring body 4, and so on and so forth to generate vibration.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic part 1 may have a shell, the shell has a mounting hole, and the shell may be fixed in the mounting hole by interference fit or glue bonding.
[0078] In some of the embodiments of this application, Fig.10 As shown, the elastic part 1 includes an elastic sheet 13 , which is connected to the housing 2 and extends obliquely to one side along the height direction of the housing 2 .
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the obliquely extended spring sheet 13 can limit the ring body 4, and the ring body 4 can rotate along the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, and when it rotates against the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, it will be interfered by the spring sheet 13. Specifically, when the ring body 4 rotates along the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, the pressure generated by the ring body 4 on the elastic part 1 forms an angle with the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, so that the pressure can cause the elastic part 1 to undergo elastic deformation, and when it is withdrawn, it will return to collide with the ring body 4; when the ring body 4 rotates against the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, the pressure generated by the ring body 4 on the elastic part 1 is opposite to the extension direction of the spring sheet 13, so that the elastic part 1 will hinder the ring body 4 from continuing to rotate.
[0080] A second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising the housing structure as described in the above embodiment.
[0081] It can be understood that, since the same housing structure as the above embodiment is adopted, the electronic device of the present application has the same technical effect as the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may be a smart watch, a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like.
[0083] 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.
[0084] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the present application disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed in the present application.
