[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a 90° flip self-locking rotating shaft mechanism for a smart watch, including components such as a cam rotating seat 1, a connecting seat 2, a snap spring piece 3, a flat shaft 4, an axis 5, a first spring 6, a spring cover 7, an anti-detachment gasket 8, a cam cover seat 9, a first movable clamping block 13, a second movable clamping block 14, a second spring 15, and a bottom cover plate 16. Each component of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the cam rotating seat 1 can be set in a concave-shaped structure, and side mounting holes 11 and limiting grooves 12 communicating with the side mounting holes 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the cam rotating seat 1.
[0025] AsFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of the shaft center 5 can pass through the central through - hole of the cam rotating seat 1, the central through - holes of the first spring 6 and the spring cover 7 and is fixedly connected with the anti - detachment gasket 8. The spring cover 7 covers the outside of the first spring 6. The shaft center 5 can connect the cam cover seat 9, the cam rotating seat, the first spring 6 and the spring cover 7 in series, and is riveted in the post - process by the anti - detachment gasket 8 to achieve the anti - detachment function.
[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14 are both movably installed inside the cam cover seat 9. The outer ends of the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14 are respectively provided with clamping positions 131. The clamping positions 131 of the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14 can pass through the side through - holes of the cam cover seat 9 and extend to the outside of the cam cover seat 9. The second spring 15 is installed between the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14. The other end of the shaft center 5 passes through the central through - hole of the cam cover seat 9 and extends into the inside of the cam cover seat 9. The other end of the shaft center 5 is inserted between the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14. The bottom cover plate 16 is installed at the bottom of the cam cover seat 9.
[0027] As Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the shaft center 5 is also provided with a first eccentric cam 51 and a second eccentric cam 52 connected in sequence. The eccentric directions of the first eccentric cam 51 and the second eccentric cam 52 are opposite. When the shaft center 5 rotates, the first eccentric cam 51 can abut against the inner end of the first movable clamping block 13, and the second eccentric cam 52 can abut against the inner end of the second movable clamping block 14, thereby restricting the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14 from contracting inward for clamping. When the shaft center 5 continues to rotate 180 degrees, the first eccentric cam 51 can have a distance from the inner end of the first movable clamping block 13, and the second eccentric cam 52 can have a distance from the inner end of the second movable clamping block 14. At this time, the first movable clamping block 13 and the second movable clamping block 14 can contract inward for clamping.
[0028] As Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting seat 2 can preferably be set in an L - shape, and the connecting seat 2 is provided with a connecting seat through - hole 21. The flat shaft 4 is connected to one end of the connecting seat 2. The outer wall of the flat shaft 4 is provided with two symmetrically arranged flat shaft flat - position planes 41, and the outer wall parts of the flat shaft 4 between the two flat shaft flat - position planes 41 are respectively set in an arc shape.
[0029] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the circlip 3 can be set as a C-shaped ring structure. A notch 31 is formed in one side part of the outer wall of the circlip 3. A limiting convex body 32 protruding outwards is provided on the other side part of the outer wall of the circlip 3. A flat shaft moving groove 33 communicating with the notch 31 is provided in the middle of the circlip 3. Flat circlip planes 34 located on both sides of the notch 31 are respectively provided on two opposite groove walls of the flat shaft moving groove 33 of the circlip 3. The circlips 3 are arranged side by side in each side mounting hole 11 of the cam rotating seat 1, and the limiting convex bodies 32 of the circlips 3 are clamped in the limiting grooves 12 of the cam rotating seat 1.
[0030] During specific installation, the flat shaft 4 can be inserted from the position of each side mounting hole 11 of the cam rotating seat 1 and placed in the flat shaft moving groove 33 of the corresponding circlip 3, and the flat shaft 4 can rotate relative to the circlip 3.
[0031] During operation, the circlip 3 can interfere and cooperate with the flat shaft 4 to generate torque by the elastic deformation of the circlip 3. Since the circlip 3 has an increased flat position (i.e., the flat circlip plane 34), a flat position (i.e., the flat shaft flat plane 41) is also provided on the flat shaft 4. When the flat shaft 4 rotates to a position such as Figure 7 or Figure 8 , it can produce a self-locking effect. When the flat shaft 4 rotates to a position such as Figure 9 , it can produce a hovering effect. When the flat position of the flat shaft 4 coincides with the flat position of the circlip 3, the circlip 3 does not produce elastic deformation.
[0032] The above embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
