DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some 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.
[0031] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment is a telephone watch, which includes a shell 11, a rotating body 12 and a camera 13. The interior of the shell 11 is also provided with electronic devices such as a battery 16, a circuit board 17, a microphone and a speaker. The shell 11 includes a frame 11a and a bottom cover 11b. The display panel 18 is arranged on the front side of the frame 11a, and the bottom cover 11b is arranged on the back side of the frame 11a. The frame 11a can also be connected to a strap, which is not shown in the figure. The above-mentioned electronic devices are all arranged in an inner cavity formed by the display panel 18, the frame 11a and the bottom cover 11b. The camera 13, battery 16, microphone and speaker are all electrically connected to the circuit board 17.
[0033] In this embodiment, a through hole 111 is provided on the frame 11a of the shell 11, and the through hole 111 is a through circular hole. The rotating body 12 includes a shaft portion 121 and a knob portion 122, wherein the shaft portion 121 is provided with a chamber 123, and the shaft portion 121 is arranged in the through hole 111 and rotates around its axis. A camera hole 124 connected to the chamber 123 is provided on the side of the shaft portion 121, and the camera 13 is arranged inside the chamber 123, and the lens of the camera 13 corresponds to the camera hole 124, so that the camera 13 can shoot or take pictures through the camera hole 124.
[0034] In addition, the rotating body 12 can also move in the through hole 111 along its axial direction relative to the shell 11, so that the rotating body 12 has a first state in which the camera hole 124 is hidden in the shell 11 and a second state in which the camera hole 124 is exposed outside the shell 11.
[0035] In this way, the camera 13 is arranged in the rotating body 12, and the camera angle is adjusted by rotating the rotating body 12. For example, the camera 13 can be rotated to face forward, backward, etc. In addition, the rotating body 12 also moves along its axial direction on the shell 11. When in use, the rotating body 12 is pulled outward to expose the camera 13 outside the shell 11. When not in use, the rotating body 12 is pushed inward to hide the camera 13 in the shell 11, which not only serves as a protection, but also increases the aesthetics of the phone watch.
[0036] In this embodiment, a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure are provided between the rotating body 12 and the shell 11. The first limiting structure is used to limit the rotational stroke of the rotating body 12 when it is in the first state, and the second limiting structure is used to limit the rotational stroke of the rotating body 12 when it is in the second state. Since a camera 13 is installed inside the rotating body 12, a wire is provided between the camera 13 and the circuit board 17. In order to prevent the wire from being torsionally damaged, the rotating body 12 cannot rotate more than 360 degrees and must be limited to rotation within 360 degrees.
[0037] Specifically, the shell 11 is provided with a limiting member 14, which is installed on the inner side of the frame 11a, and a first limiting portion 141 and a second limiting portion 142 are formed on the limiting member 14, wherein the first limiting portion 141 is a circular arc segment similar to a C shape, and the first limiting portion 141 has an opening 143. A limiting block 127 is provided on the outer wall of the shaft portion 121 of the rotating body 12. When the rotating body 12 is in the first state, its shaft portion 121 is located in the first limiting portion 141, and the limiting block 127 is located in the opening 143 of the first limiting portion 141. The size of the opening 143 determines the angle at which the rotating body 12 can rotate in the first state. In this way, the first limiting portion 141 and the limiting block 127 constitute a first limiting structure in the first state.
[0038] The second limiting portion 142 of the limiting member 14 is arranged on the inner edge of the opening of the through hole 111. When the rotating body 12 is in the second state, when the rotating body 12 rotates, the limiting block 127 on the shaft 121 will be blocked by the second limiting portion 142, limiting the angle at which the rotating body 12 can rotate in the first state, that is, the rotating body 12 can only swing and rotate repeatedly, and cannot rotate more than 360 degrees. The second limiting portion 142 and the limiting block 127 constitute a second limiting structure in the second state.
[0039] In this embodiment, a step 112 is formed on the inner side of the through hole 111, and a blocking surface 113 is provided on the step 112. The limit stopper 127 abuts against the blocking surface 113 to limit the position of the rotating body 12 in the second state. When the rotating body 12 is pulled outward from the first state, the limit stopper 127 enters the step 112 and is blocked by the blocking surface 113. At this time, the rotating body 12 reaches the second state, and the limit stopper 127 also prevents the rotating body 12 from escaping from the through hole 111.
[0040] In order to limit the inward movement position of the rotating body 12, a knob portion 122 is also provided at one end of the rotating body 12 away from the limit stop block 127. The knob portion 122 abuts against the outer side of the through hole 111 to limit the position of the rotating body 12 in the second state. The knob portion 122 also serves as a user to operate to rotate the rotating body 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, in order to position the rotating body 12 when rotating in the first state and the second state, a positioning structure is further provided between the shaft 121 of the rotating body 12 and the through hole 111 , and the positioning structure is used to position the rotation of the rotating body 12 .
[0042] Specifically, the positioning structure includes a ball-end screw 15 arranged on the inner wall of the through hole 111, a plurality of first positioning recesses 125 arranged on the surface of the shaft portion 121 of the rotating body 12, and a plurality of second positioning recesses 126 arranged on the surface of the shaft portion 121 of the rotating body 12; wherein, the plurality of first positioning recesses 125 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the shaft portion 121, and the plurality of second positioning recesses 126 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the shaft portion 121.
[0043] The ball-end screw 15 is arranged in the through hole 111 and is fixed by the second limiting portion 142 of the limiting member 14. When the rotating body 12 is in the first state, the ball-end screw 15 is matched with the first positioning recess 125. At this time, the rotating body 12 is rotated to switch the ball-end screw 15 between the first positioning recesses 125, and when the rotating body 12 is in the second state, the ball-end screw 15 will be matched with the second positioning recess 126.
[0044] In this way, through the above-mentioned positioning structure, the camera 13 can be positioned after rotating to adjust the angle, preventing the rotating body 12 from rotating by itself.
[0045] In this embodiment, in order to obtain the status information of the rotating body 12, such as whether it is rotating forward or reverse, in the first state or the second state, a magnet block 19 is provided on the shaft 121, and a gyroscope 20 is provided near the through hole 111 of the frame 11a. The gyroscope 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 17. When the rotating body 12 rotates, the magnet block 19 induces the gyroscope 20, thereby obtaining the rotation information of the rotating body 12.
[0046] In this embodiment, a card slot for inserting a SIM card is also provided on the circuit board 17 of the telephone watch, and charging contacts are provided on the bottom cover 11b. The charging contacts are electrically connected to the circuit board 17 to connect to a power source to charge the battery 16. A button for controlling the volume or turning the machine on and off is provided on the frame 11a.
[0047] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
