[0040] Embodiment 2 of the cover structure of the wearable product of the utility model

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The cover structure of the wearable product of the utility model includes: a cover body 1, a covering area body 3 and a viewing area 2 located in the middle of the covering area body 3 are arranged on the cover body 1, the covering area body 3 includes an electrochromic part, and the electrochromic part changes color under the action of an external electric field to change the color of the cover body 1. This application realizes the dynamic change of the color and transparency of the covering area body 3 by applying electrochromic technology, making the cover body 1 more fashionable and personalized in appearance, achieving a double improvement in appearance and function, and bringing users a more comfortable, intelligent and personalized use experience.

[0042] Furthermore, the electrochromic part includes an electrical connector, which is arranged on the cover body 1. The electrical connector is used to connect the external electric field, that is, it can realize the connection between the external electric field and the electrochromic part. This design enables the electrochromic part to be easily connected to the electric field to achieve rapid color changes, thereby enhancing the practicality and convenience of the product.

[0043] Furthermore, the electrochromic part also includes a color-changing component, which is arranged in the electrical connector. The color-changing component changes under the action of an external electric field. This design makes the color change of the cover body 1 more diverse, further improving the personalization of the product.

[0044] A background color portion is provided on one side of the electrical connector away from the cover body 1, and the background color portion is used to display color when the electrical connector is not powered. This design enables the electrochromic portion to have a good visual effect on the cover body 1 when it is not powered, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the product.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the electrical connector includes an upper ITO conductive film 301 and a lower ITO conductive film 303, the upper ITO conductive film 301 is connected to one side of the cover body 1, and the color-changing member is connected between the upper ITO conductive film 301 and the lower ITO conductive film 303, the upper ITO conductive film 301 and the lower ITO conductive film 303 are respectively used to connect the positive and negative electrodes of the battery;

[0046] ITO conductive film is a high-tech product obtained by sputtering a transparent indium tin oxide conductive film coating on a transparent organic film material using the magnetron sputtering method and then annealing it at high temperature. This film has many excellent properties, such as high conductivity, high visible light transmittance, high infrared reflectivity, strong adhesion to glass, good mechanical strength and chemical stability, etc. ITO conductive film is a transparent conductive film material.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the color-changing component is a tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302, which is connected between an upper ITO conductive film 301 and a lower ITO conductive film 303. The tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302 undergoes a stable and reversible color change under the action of an external electric field. The upper ITO conductive film 301 and the tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302 are connected to a chip, and the chip controls the voltage applied to the upper ITO conductive film 301 and the lower ITO conductive film 303 to control the color of the tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302.

[0048] Specifically, tungsten oxide is colorless and transparent in its initial state and does not absorb visible light. However, under the action of an electric field, electrons are excited to a high energy state. At this time, the absorption rate of tungsten oxide to visible light increases, making it appear dark blue. When the electric field disappears, the electrons return to their original energy level and tungsten oxide returns to a colorless and transparent state.

[0049] Tungsten oxide is a typical electrochromic material. Under the action of an external electric field, the electrons and ions in tungsten oxide will migrate and rearrange, resulting in changes in the energy band structure of the material. This change will change the absorption and reflection characteristics of tungsten oxide to light, causing its color to change. When the electric field is enhanced, the color becomes darker; when the electric field is weakened, the color becomes lighter. This electrochromic effect is reversible. When the electric field is removed, tungsten oxide will return to its original color. Secondly, ITO conductive film has high transparency and good conductivity. It can evenly apply an external electric field to the tungsten oxide film to ensure that the electric field is evenly distributed in the tungsten oxide. At the same time, the high transparency of ITO conductive film ensures the normal penetration of light during the electrochromic process, making the color change effect more significant. Therefore, under the action of the electric field, tungsten oxide undergoes an electrochromic effect and changes color. By adjusting the intensity and direction of the electric field, the degree and speed of color change of tungsten oxide can be controlled to achieve the purpose of electrochromism.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base color portion is the covering ink 304, and the covering ink 304 is arranged on the side of the lower ITO conductive film 303 away from the tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302. When no voltage is applied to the tungsten oxide electrochromic layer 302, the cover body 1 displays the color of the covering ink 304, which provides users with a diverse visual experience and increases the personalized characteristics of the product.

[0051] Furthermore, the covering ink 304 is made of ink silk-screen printing, and the ink of the silk-screen covering ink 304 can be white ink. This design not only ensures the uniformity and clarity of the covering ink 304, but also makes the cover body 1 have a fresh and simple appearance when not powered on, thereby enhancing the overall beauty of the product.

[0052] Embodiment 3 of the cover structure of the wearable product of the utility model

[0053] The cover structure of the wearable product provided in the second embodiment is further limited, specifically, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, a protective structure 4 is provided on one side of the cover body 1 away from the upper ITO conductive film 301. The protective structure 4 includes a protective film 401. The protective film 401 is attached to the cover body 1 to protect the cover body 1, thereby reducing the chance of scratches on the cover body 1 before assembly with the whole machine, thereby ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the product and extending the service life of the product.

[0054] Further, such as Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, a tear-off handle 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective film 401, and the tear-off handle 402 is folded and adhered to the side of the protective film 401 away from the cover body 1, and a non-adhesive film 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the tear-off handle 402, and the non-adhesive film 403 is not connected to the cover body 1. By bending the tear-off handle 402, it is possible to avoid the tear-off handle 402 protruding from the protective film 401, thereby reducing the situation where the tear-off handle 402 protrudes and interferes when the cover body 1 is assembled with the entire machine. After the tear-off handle 402 is bent, it is adhered to the protective film 401, so that the tear-off handle 402 and the protective film 401 The bonded portion can be separated during the process of pulling the non-adhesive film 403, so that the tear-off handle 402 is unfolded from the bent state. At this time, continuing to pull the non-adhesive film 403 and the tear-off handle 402 can tear the protective film 401 off the cover body 1.

[0055] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the utility model are given in the accompanying drawings, but they do not limit the patent scope of the utility model. The utility model can be implemented in many different forms. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned specific implementation methods, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the utility model specification and the accompanying drawings, directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, is also within the scope of patent protection of the utility model.
