Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of counting equipment technology, and in particular to a counter that integrates a compass function. Background Technology

[0002] Prayer beads, also known as rosaries, are used to count repetitions of Buddhist chanting. Traditionally, people counted the number of beads that had turned on the bracelet by silently counting them. However, people often forgot the number they had counted while counting, which created a certain psychological burden. With the advancement of technology, electronic counters for prayer beads were developed. To match the application of prayer beads, electronic counters are usually worn on the fingers.

[0003] However, traditional electronic counters generally only have one wearing method, which cannot meet the needs of different customers, i.e., they have poor compatibility. For example, different people have different finger sizes and different preferred wearing methods. In addition, traditional electronic counters have limited functions.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a counter that integrates compass functionality and improves the compatibility and functionality of the counter has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0038] This utility model embodiment provides a counter 100 with integrated compass function, which solves the technical problem that existing electronic counters only have one wearing method, cannot meet different customer needs, and have limited functionality, thus greatly improving the compatibility and functionality of the counter.

[0039] The technical solution in this embodiment of the utility model is to solve the above problems. The overall idea is as follows: a wearing component 3 including a ring buckle 31 and a watch strap 32 is set. When the counter 100 needs to be worn, one end of the ring buckle 31 can be inserted into the mounting slot 121 of the mounting base 12, or the watch strap 32 can be installed on the mounting base 12 through screws 30 and mounting holes to adapt to different people and improve the compatibility of the counter 100. By setting the keycap to a compass keycap 10, the counter 100 integrates the compass function, thereby improving the functionality of the counter 100.

[0040] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a counter 100 integrating a compass function, includes:

[0042] A lower housing 1 has several female buckles 11 arranged vertically upwards inside, and a mounting base 12 at the bottom of the exterior. The mounting base 12 has a horizontally penetrating mounting slot 121, a vertically arranged mounting hole (not shown) in the center, and a rounded bottom surface to fit the finger. The mounting slot 121 has several limiting protrusions (not shown). The female buckles 11 match the male buckles to lock the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2. The mounting base 12 is used to install a wearing component 3. The mounting slot 121 is used to install a ring buckle 31. The mounting hole is used to install a watch strap 32. The limiting protrusions are used to limit the movement of the ring buckle 31.

[0043] An upper housing 2 has several male buckles that mate with female buckles 11 arranged vertically downwards inside. It is located at the upper end of a lower housing 1 via the male and female buckles 11 and is detachably connected to the lower housing 1. It also has a display window 21 and a button hole 22. The upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 cooperate to provide safety protection for the counter 100. The display window 21 is used to mount the display screen 8. The button hole 22 is used to mount silicone buttons 9.

[0044] A wearing component 3 is mounted on the lower housing 1 via the mounting base 12 and is detachably connected to the lower housing 1. The wearing component 3 includes a ring buckle 31 and a watch strap 32. One end of the ring buckle 31 is inserted into the mounting slot 121 and engages with the limiting protrusion. The watch strap 32 passes through the mounting slot 121 and is mounted on the mounting base 12 via the mounting hole. The wearing component 3 is used for wearing a counter 100. The ring buckle 31 has a notch 311, and the end of the notch 311 is bent outward at a certain angle to avoid pinching the flesh on the side of the finger.

[0045] A metal sheet 4 is disposed inside the lower housing 1 for mounting the battery 5 and for conducting electricity;

[0046] A battery 5 is installed inside the metal plate 4, with its negative terminal connected to the metal plate 4, for supplying power to the counter 100;

In specific implementation, any MCU that can perform this function can be selected from the existing technology. It is not limited to any particular model, such as the STM32F103 series MCU from STMicroelectronics. The control program is well known to those skilled in the art, and it can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort.

[0049] A display screen 8 is disposed within the display window 21 and connected to the MCU 7 via a conductive strip 81, for displaying the number of times the silicone button 9 is pressed and the current time;

[0050] A silicone button 9 is disposed in the button hole 22 and connected to the MCU 7, and is used to turn the counter 100 on and off.

[0051] A compass keycap 10 is fitted onto the top of the silicone key 9 for indicating direction.

[0052] Also includes:

[0053] A transparent protective plate 20 is disposed inside the display window 21, covering the display screen 8, and is used to provide protection for the display screen 8.

[0054] The transparent protective panel 20 is made of acrylic sheet.

[0055] Also includes:

[0056] A screw 30 is used to mount the watch strap 32 onto the mounting base 12 via the screw 30 and the mounting hole.

[0057] The battery 5 is a button cell battery.

[0058] Working principle of this utility model:

[0059] The counter 100 is worn on the finger via the wearing component 3. The power-on action is performed by pressing and holding the silicone button 9 with the compass keycap 10, and then by short-pressing the silicone button 9 with the compass keycap 10. The MCU 7 counts based on the trigger signal of the silicone button 9 and displays the counting result on the display screen 8.

[0060] In summary, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0061] 1. By installing the wearing components, including a ring buckle and a watch strap, on the mounting base of the lower housing, when the counter needs to be worn, one end of the ring buckle can be inserted into the mounting slot of the mounting base, or the watch strap can be installed on the mounting base through screws and mounting holes. This allows for flexible selection of the wearing method, either the ring buckle or the watch strap, to suit different people and greatly improve the compatibility of the counter.

[0062] 2. By setting the keycaps to compass keycaps, the counter integrates compass functionality, thereby greatly enhancing the functionality of the counter.

[0063] 3. By setting up a ring buckle and a detachable connection between the watch strap and the lower case, the ring buckle can be simply plugged in and unplugged, and the watch strap can be tightened with just one screw, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly.
