Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the solar watches currently on the market, in order to protect the photovoltaic layer from scratches and dirt from external substances, most of them coat the photovoltaic coating on a single piece of glass, and then attach it to the protective cover and place it on the back of the protective cover to achieve the effect of protecting the photovoltaic film layer. However, this design will affect the photovoltaic film's absorption efficiency of solar energy, mainly because the transmittance loss of the protective cover itself (aluminosilicate glass loses about 8% transmittance, sapphire glass loses about 15% transmittance), resulting in a part of the light energy loss.

[0003] In addition, since the middle of the watch needs to be reserved for the dial display, only the edge can be used as a photovoltaic layer, which results in a shortage of energy for the entire device. Therefore, it is necessary to use the edge photovoltaic layer to absorb light energy with maximum efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a solar watch comprises:

[0030] A housing 1, wherein a dial 7 is provided inside the housing 1;

[0031] A glass cover plate 2, wherein the glass cover plate 2 is disposed on the top of the housing 1 and seals the dial 7;

[0032] The front side of the glass cover plate 2 is plated with a photovoltaic layer 3, and the side edges and the outer periphery of the back side of the glass cover plate 2 are plated with a conductive metal layer 6;

[0033] The photovoltaic layer 3 covers the periphery of the front side of the glass cover plate 2;

[0034] The front side of the glass cover plate 2 is coated with an ODLC film 4 , and the ODLC film 4 covers the photovoltaic layer 3 .

[0035] In the present application, the photovoltaic layer 3 is plated on the front of the watch glass cover 2, and the sunlight can be directly absorbed by the photovoltaic layer 3 without passing through the glass cover 2, so as to reduce the loss of sunlight, thereby improving the absorption efficiency of the photovoltaic layer 3 for solar energy, and the photovoltaic layer 3 is plated with an ODLC+AF film layer to achieve an anti-scratch effect with high energy absorption, and metal titanium or other conductive metal coatings 6 are plated on the side and back of the glass cover 2, so that the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic layer 3 is conducted to the back of the cover through the conductive metal coating 6 and connected to the circuit board 8, thereby realizing power supply to the battery.

[0036] In this embodiment, the use of the ODLC film 4 and the AF film 5 can reduce the light energy transmittance loss to less than 1%, so the photovoltaic layer 3 can achieve the highest energy absorption effect.

[0037] In the above structure, the AF film layer usually has a thickness ranging from tens of nanometers to hundreds of nanometers, and the commonly used materials include polymer materials such as polyethersulfone (PES), polyimide (PI), etc. These materials have excellent optical properties and chemical corrosion resistance, can effectively protect the cover surface and improve the transmittance. The main function of the AF film layer is to reduce the reflection and scattering of the cover surface, thereby improving the transmittance and clarity of the optical element.

[0038] In order to allow more sunlight to pass through the glass cover plate 2 and be absorbed by the photovoltaic layer 3, the glass cover plate 2 is designed to be a circular glass cover plate. However, those skilled in the art can also design the glass cover plate 2 into other shapes according to actual needs.

[0039] It should be noted that ODLC is an optical diamond-like coating, whose main function is to protect the AF layer and photovoltaic coating on the front of the cover from scratches. For the ODLC film layer, its thickness is usually between a few microns and tens of microns, and commonly used materials include aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon oxide (SiO2), etc. These materials have high hardness and wear resistance, which can effectively protect the surface of the cover and improve light transmittance. This coating has very high hardness, with a pencil hardness of 9H and a Mohs hardness of 8, which can effectively resist most external material damage. By applying ODLC to the front of the cover, its service life can be effectively extended and its wear resistance can be improved. This coating also has excellent optical properties, which can improve the light transmittance and optical transmission performance of the cover, thereby improving the optical performance and display effect of the device. In addition, ODLC also has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist the erosion of chemical substances such as acids and alkalis, and keep the front of the cover clean and bright. This coating also has certain antistatic properties, which can reduce the adhesion of dust and dirt and maintain the cleanliness of the front of the cover.

[0040] In another preferred implementation of this embodiment, a metal contact is provided inside the housing 1 to contact the conductive metal layer 6 on the side of the glass cover plate 2. The metal contact is electrically connected to the circuit board to supply power to the battery.

[0041] Furthermore, the front side of the ODLC film 4 is coated with an AF film 5. The anti-fingerprint coating of the AF film 5 is mainly used to prevent the front side of the cover product from being dirty. The AF anti-fingerprint coating is a coating material specially used for the front side of the cover product. Its main function is to prevent fingerprints and dirt from appearing on the front side, and to keep the product appearance clean and beautiful. This coating adopts a special chemical treatment method and is covered on the front side of the product. It has super anti-fouling performance and can effectively prevent the adhesion of fingerprints, grease and other dirt, making the front side of the product not easily polluted and stained. The AF anti-fingerprint coating has the advantages of good anti-fingerprint performance, strong wear resistance, high transparency, and environmental protection and health. It not only improves the appearance quality of the product, but also improves the service life and value of the product. The AF anti-fingerprint coating provides good protection and beautification effects for the product, and improves the convenience and comfort of the product. Example

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the solar watch provided by the utility model further includes a circuit board 8 and a dial 7 arranged in the housing 1, and the circuit board 8 is electrically connected to the dial 7 and the photovoltaic layer 3 respectively.

[0043] Furthermore, an electric energy storage device is provided in the circuit board 8 and is electrically connected to the photovoltaic layer 3 for storing electric energy.

[0044] Furthermore, the circuit board 8 is a double-sided circuit board 8, with a controller disposed on one side and a battery (not shown in the figure) disposed on the other side, and the controller is used to selectively control the photovoltaic layer 3 or the battery to supply power to the dial 7.

[0045] Specifically, the electric energy storage device is electrically connected to the photovoltaic layer 3 for storing electric energy. The controller is electrically connected to the photovoltaic layer 3 and the storage battery respectively. If the electric energy storage device stores electric energy obtained from the photovoltaic layer 3, it is preferred to use the electric energy in the storage device to power the solar watch. If the electric energy obtained from the photovoltaic layer 3 is not stored in the storage device, in order for the solar watch to operate normally, the controller needs to control the photovoltaic layer 3 to continuously supply power to the solar watch.

[0046] Furthermore, the dial 7 includes a touch layer 72, a first optical adhesive layer 71, a second optical adhesive layer 73 and a TFT panel 74, the first optical adhesive layer 71 is arranged on the back of the glass cover plate 2, the touch layer 72 is bonded to the glass cover plate 2 through the first optical adhesive layer 71, and the TFT panel 74 is arranged at the bottom of the touch layer 72 and bonded to the touch layer 72 through the second optical adhesive layer 73.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first optical adhesive layer 71 and the second optical adhesive layer 73 are OCA or OCR optical adhesive. OCA optical adhesive is a transparent adhesive, which is mainly used for bonding display screens and touch screens of electronic products. OCA optical adhesive has the characteristics of high transparency, high viscosity, high strength, high temperature resistance, and good weather resistance. It can effectively reduce the air layer between the display screen and the touch screen, and improve the display effect and touch sensitivity.

[0048] Furthermore, the touch layer 72 is ITO bridge, nanosilver or metal mesh. Both nanosilver and metal mesh structures have good flexibility, so they can be used in flexible touch panels. Compared with ITO materials, in this embodiment, the touch layer 72 is more optional and is formed of nanosilver materials and metal mesh materials.

[0049] It should be noted that the formation process of the metal mesh or nano silver material is not limited in this embodiment. The nano silver material can be coated on the substrate by a spin coating process, and then a laser dry etching process is used to form a corresponding touch electrode pattern; and the metal mesh material is first formed on the substrate by a sputtering process, and then formed by a photolithography process. The photolithography process includes exposure and development process steps.

[0050] In this embodiment, the TFT panel 74 is a liquid crystal display. The TFT liquid crystal display is a common flat display technology, which controls the light transmittance of the liquid crystal by adding a thin film transistor to each pixel point, thereby realizing the display of the image; the TFT liquid crystal display has the characteristics of excellent color reproduction ability, high contrast, fast response time and wide viewing angle. By adopting the TFT liquid crystal display, this embodiment can achieve high-definition and delicate image display effects, providing a better visual experience. Example

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a strap 9, which is arranged at both ends of the housing 1, and the solar watch is worn on the wrist through the strap 9.

[0052] In order to allow more parts of the solar watch to absorb solar energy and enhance the absorption efficiency of the solar watch, specifically, a solar film (not shown in the figure) can be set on the outer front of the strap. The solar film is electrically connected to the solar watch panel to convert solar energy into electrical energy.

[0053] In another implementation of this embodiment, adjustment buttons for adjusting the functions of the watch may also be provided on the side of the housing 1 .

[0054] The beneficial effects obtained by applying the embodiments of the utility model include:

[0055] Since the solar watch of the embodiment of the utility model has a photovoltaic film layer plated on the front of the watch glass cover, and a solar film can be provided on the watch strap, this greatly enhances the lighting effect and light energy absorption effect of the solar watch.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model rather than to limit them. Although the embodiments of the utility model are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model can still be modified or replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
