[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] 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 only 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] The embodiment of the present application is a rotating camera structure of a smart watch, and its specific structure is as follows: Figure 1-6 shown.

[0025] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the rotating camera structure includes a watch body frame 10, an operating cylinder 20 and a camera 30. The camera 30 is fixed in the operating cylinder 20 and the operating cylinder 20 is provided with a window opening 21, and the window opening 21 corresponds to the lens of the camera 30. A receiving cylinder 11 is provided in the wall of the watch body frame 10, and the operating cylinder 20 is placed in the receiving cylinder 11 and the operating cylinder 20 and the receiving cylinder 11 are coaxial, and the operating cylinder 20 and the receiving cylinder 11 are slidably connected. An axial groove 22 and a circumferential arc groove 23 are provided on the outer wall of the operating cylinder 20, and the inner end of the axial groove 22 is connected to the circumferential arc groove 23. A limiting plate 41 is radially penetrated from the wall of the receiving cylinder 11, and the limiting plate 41 cooperates with the axial groove 22 and the circumferential arc groove 23 to limit the freedom of movement of the operating cylinder 20 relative to the receiving cylinder 11. When one end of the limiting piece 41 that penetrates into the receiving tube 11 is placed in the axial groove 22, due to the restriction of the axial groove 22 on the limiting piece 41, the operating tube 20 only has the linear reciprocating freedom relative to the receiving tube 11, that is, the operating tube 20 can only reciprocate axially. When one end of the limiting piece 41 that penetrates into the receiving tube 11 is placed in the circumferential arc groove 23, due to the restriction of the circumferential arc groove 23 on the limiting piece 41, the operating tube 20 has the freedom to rotate around the central axis of the receiving tube 11. At this time, the operating tube 20 can rotate relative to the receiving tube 11 to adjust the direction of the camera.

[0026] In the embodiment, the camera 30 is placed in the operating cylinder 20, and the operating cylinder 20 is placed in the accommodating cylinder 11 of the watch body frame 10. The operating cylinder 20 can be extended and rotated relative to the accommodating cylinder 11, so the camera 30 can be rotated during use, so the shooting angle is adjustable to meet multi-angle shooting needs.

[0027] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the direction of the window opening 21 is perpendicular to the central axis 200 of the operating cylinder 20 , so when the operating cylinder 20 rotates around the central axis 200 , the window opening 21 will rotate around the central axis 200 of the operating cylinder 20 , and the shooting angle of the camera 30 will also rotate accordingly.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, a glass slide 31 is provided between the inner wall of the operating tube 20 and the lens of the camera 30 . The glass slide 31 is located at a position corresponding to the window opening 21 . The glass slide 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the operating tube 20 by adhesive 32 .

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the inner end of the axial groove 22 is connected to the middle position of the circumferential arc groove 23. When the limiting piece 41 is at the connection between the axial groove 22 and the circumferential arc groove 23, the limiting piece 41 is at the middle position of the circumferential arc groove 23, so the operating cylinder 20 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the accommodating cylinder 11 by the same maximum angle. In addition, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the limiting piece 41 is fixed to the inner side of the watch body frame 10 by means of screws 411 .

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the outer end of the axial groove 22 is connected to an annular groove 25, and a sealing strip 51 is fixed in the annular groove 25, and the sealing strip 51 is clamped between the annular groove 25 and the inner wall of the receiving tube 11. The sealing strip 51 seals the gap between the operating tube 20 and the receiving tube 11 to prevent water vapor and dust from entering through the gap. In addition, since the outer end of the axial groove 22 is connected to the annular groove 25, when the operating tube 20 is pushed into the receiving tube 11 by an external force, in the final position, the limiting piece 41 will touch the sealing strip 51. The sealing strip 51 is usually elastic, so the contact between the limiting piece 41 and the sealing strip 51 will not generate additional noise, and the contact is a flexible collision, which improves the user experience.

[0031] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a positioning pin 42 radially penetrates the wall of the accommodating cylinder 11, and the positioning pin 42 is located on the other side opposite to the limiting plate 41. The positioning pin 42 is fixed on a spring sheet 421, and the spring sheet 421 is fixed to the inner side of the watch body frame 10 by a screw 422. The outer wall of the operating cylinder 20 is provided with two positioning grooves 24 distributed front and back along the central axis 200 of the operating cylinder 20, and the positioning pin 42 cooperates with the positioning grooves 24 to keep the operating cylinder 20 relatively fixed in the accommodating cylinder 11 when there is no other external force. Specifically, when the top end of the positioning pin 42 is placed in a positioning groove 24 near the middle position of the operating cylinder 20, the operating cylinder 20 is in a state of retracting the accommodating cylinder 11; and when the top end of the positioning pin 42 is placed in another positioning groove 24 near the inner end of the operating cylinder 20, the operating cylinder 20 is in an extended state and one end of the limiting plate 41 is placed in the middle position of the circumferential arc groove 23.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the outer end of the operating cylinder 20 is provided with a convex ring 26, and the surface of the convex ring 26 is provided with an anti-slip groove 261. The convex ring 26 is used to facilitate the operation cylinder 20 to be pulled out from the receiving cylinder 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a shallow groove 27 is provided at the outer opening of the operating tube 20 , a cover plate 28 is provided in the shallow groove 27 , and the cover plate 28 is fixed in the shallow groove 27 by adhesive 281 .

[0033] Figures 4 to 6 This is a three-dimensional diagram of a smart watch in which the operating tube 20 is extended outward. Figures 4 to 6 Only three typical use angles of the camera 30 are shown, which does not mean that the camera 30 of the present application can only be used at these angles. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the camera 30 faces the side of the watch body 90 connected to the upper watch band. Figure 4In the embodiment, the operating cylinder 20 is rotated 90 degrees along the direction A to obtain Figure 5 In the state shown, the user can use the camera 30 to take selfies, make video calls, etc. Figure 4 In the process, the operating cylinder 20 is rotated 90 degrees along the direction B to obtain Figure 6 In the state shown, the smart watch needs to be taken off the arm and the camera 30 is used to take pictures.
