[0023] Referring to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] An embodiment of the present application is a hidden camera structure for a smart watch, and its specific structure is as Figures 1-5 shown.

[0025] Combined with Figure 1 and 2 shown, the smart watch includes a watch body frame 10, and the watch body frame 10 can be made of a metal material, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. A side hole 11 is provided on the wall of the watch body frame 10. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side hole 11 in is provided above the watch body frame 10. In other embodiments, the side hole 11 can also be provided below the watch body frame 10.

[0026] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the camera structure includes a housing 20 and a camera 30. The camera 30 is placed inside the housing 20. The housing 20 penetrates through the side hole 11 and the housing 20 forms a sliding connection with the side hole 11. The housing 20 is provided with a window opening 211, and the lens 31 of the camera 30 faces the window opening 211 directly. The window opening 211 is used for the lens 31 of the camera 30 to capture external light. The housing 20 has at least a retracted state and an extended state relative to the side hole 11. As Figure 1 shown, when the housing 20 is in the retracted state, the window opening 211 is blocked by the inner wall of the side hole 11. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, when the housing 20 is in the extended state, the window opening 211 is placed outside the watch body frame 10. At this time, the lens 31 of the camera 30 is not blocked, and the camera 30 can be used for taking pictures.

[0027] In the smart watch structure of the embodiment, the camera 30 is installed in the shell 20, and the shell 20 is placed in the side hole 11 of the watch body frame 10 and forms a sliding connection. When the camera 30 is not needed, the shell 20 can be pressed into the side hole 11 so that the shell 20 is in a retracted state, and the window opening 211 is blocked by the inner wall of the side hole 11, that is, the lens 31 of the camera 30 is blocked, so the protection of the camera structure is improved, and the shooting effect will not be deteriorated due to scratches.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the side hole 11 is disposed between the two lugs 12 above the watch body frame 10, that is, the housing 20 and the camera 30 are disposed between the two upper lugs 12. In other embodiments, the side hole, the housing and the camera may also be disposed between the two lower lugs.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the outer end of the upper part of the housing 20 is provided with a buckle protrusion 212 facing the front of the watch body frame 10. When the camera 30 is retracted into the inside of the side hole 11, the user can directly pull the buckle protrusion 212 to extend the housing 20 and the camera 30 upward.

[0030] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the shell 20 is provided with a fixing groove 221, and a "J"-shaped limit spring 50 is fixed in the fixing groove 221. Specifically, the limit spring 50 has a horizontal bar 51 in the middle, and the two sides of the horizontal bar 51 are symmetrical detours 52, and the maximum width of the detours 52 on both sides is greater than the width of the side hole 11. When the shell 20 extends outward from the side hole 11, the detours 52 on both sides of the limit spring 50 will be blocked by the inner end surface 111 of the side hole 11, so that the shell 20 will not completely detach from the side hole 11. In addition, the fixing groove 221 is divided into a middle strip groove 222 and a side groove 223 on the side. The horizontal bar 51 is placed in the strip groove 222, and the detour 52 has at least one inner recess 53, and the inner recess 53 is placed in the side groove 223, so that the limit spring 50 is clamped and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 20.

[0031] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an annular sealing strip 40 is fixed to the outer wall of the shell 20, and the sealing strip 40 is clamped by the outer wall of the shell 20 and the inner wall of the side hole 11 to prevent dust, impurities or water vapor from entering the inner cavity of the watch body frame 10 through the gap between the shell 20 and the inner wall of the side hole 11.

[0032] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the housing 20 includes an outer housing 21 and an inner housing 22. The inner housing 22 is inserted into the outer housing 21 and fixed. The fixing method can be a tight fit or fixed with glue. The outer housing 21 and the inner housing 22 can be made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The camera 30 is disposed between the outer housing 21 and the inner housing 22, and the window opening 211 is provided on the wall of the outer housing 21. The limiting spring 50 is fixed to the lower part of the outer wall of the inner housing 22, and the sealing strip 40 is clamped from above and below by the protrusion 224 on the lower end of the outer housing 21 and the outer wall of the inner housing 22.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, a glass sheet 32 is clamped between the outer end face of the lens 31 of the camera 30 and the inner wall of the outer housing 21, and the glass sheet 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer housing 21 by an adhesive 33. Additionally, as Figure 3 shown, the camera 30 is connected with a flexible circuit board 34. A channel 225 communicating with the inner cavity of the watch body frame 10 is provided in the inner housing 22, and the flexible circuit board 34 penetrates through the channel 335.
