[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] This utility model provides an encoder button mechanism and a wearable device. Several embodiments are given below to describe the encoder button mechanism and wearable device provided by this utility model in detail.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] The encoder button mechanism provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a middle frame 1, a bracket 2, and an encoder button; the bracket 2 is set inside the middle frame 1 and is fixed to the middle frame 1; the encoder button includes an encoder body 3 and a rotating shaft 4, the encoder body 3 is fixed to the bracket 2, and one end of the rotating shaft 4 extends out of the middle frame 1.
[0028] The bracket 2 is fixed to the middle frame 1, and the encoder body 3 is fixed to the bracket 2, so that the encoder body 3 is mounted on the frame through the bracket 2. The fixing of the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1 and the fixing of the encoder body 3 to the bracket 2 are relatively simple and quick. It does not require CNC lathes to cut slots in the middle frame 1, which reduces the complexity of the assembly process and thus reduces the cost of the encoder button mechanism.
[0029] The bracket 2 can be prefabricated using a mold. When assembling the encoder button mechanism, the bracket 2 can be directly fixed to the middle frame 1, and the encoder body 3 can be fixed to the bracket 2.
[0030] The bracket 2 can be fixedly connected to the middle frame 1, such as by gluing or welding, in any suitable manner, to securely fix the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1.
[0031] The bracket 2 can also be detachably connected to the middle frame 1, such as by snap-fit or threaded connection, in any suitable form, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the bracket 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bracket 2 is detachably connected to the middle frame 1 by fasteners, which makes the connection very convenient.
[0033] Fasteners can be any suitable form, such as screws or bolts.
[0034] Furthermore, both ends of the bracket 2 are connected to the middle frame 1 by fasteners.
[0035] Specifically, one end of the bracket 2 is detachably connected to the middle frame 1 by a fastener, and the other end of the bracket 2 is detachably connected to the middle frame 1 by a fastener, thereby fixing both ends of the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1 respectively, and thus stably fixing the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1.
[0036] The encoder body 3 can be fixed on the surface of the bracket 2 or in the groove 21 of the bracket 2.
[0037] Preferably, the bracket 2 has a groove 21, and the encoder body 3 is disposed in the groove 21.
[0038] The encoder body 3 is placed into the groove 21 and fixed to the groove 21. The groove 21 can effectively support the encoder body 3, allowing it to be stably fixed on the bracket 2. Furthermore, the groove 21 protects the encoder body 3 from damage.
[0039] The encoder body 3 and the bracket 2 can be fixedly connected, for example, by gluing or welding, or any suitable method, so that the encoder body 3 is stably fixed on the bracket 2.
[0040] The encoder body 3 and the bracket 2 can also be detachably connected, for example, by threaded connection or snap-fit, or any suitable method. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the encoder body 3 and the bracket 2.
[0041] Furthermore, both ends of the encoder body 3 are connected to the bracket 2 by fasteners.
[0042] One end of the encoder body 3 is detachably connected to the bracket 2 via fasteners, and the other end of the encoder body 3 is also detachably connected to the bracket 2 via fasteners. This allows both ends of the encoder body 3 to be fixed to the bracket 2 via fasteners, thus stably securing the encoder body 3 to the bracket 2. Connecting the encoder body 3 and the bracket 2 via fasteners offers high convenience.
[0043] Fasteners can be any suitable form, such as screws or bolts.
[0044] In one alternative embodiment, a pressure plate may be provided on the encoder body 3, the pressure plate covering the encoder body 3, and the two ends of the pressure plate being detachably connected to the groove 21 of the bracket 2, so that the pressure plate and the groove 21 cooperate to press the bracket 2, thereby fixing the bracket 2 in the groove 21.
[0045] Furthermore, bracket 2 is a plastic bracket.
[0046] By setting bracket 2 as a plastic bracket, when the middle frame 1 is used as an antenna, bracket 2 can prevent the antenna from being interfered with.
[0047] Furthermore, a button 5 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 4 that extends out of the middle frame 1. By rotating the button 5, the user can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 4, thereby adjusting the encoder button.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] The wearable device provided in this embodiment includes the encoder button mechanism provided in Embodiment 1. The bracket 2 is fixed to the middle frame 1, and the encoder body 3 is fixed to the bracket 2, so that the encoder body 3 is mounted on the frame via the bracket 2. The fixing of the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1 and the fixing of the encoder body 3 to the bracket 2 are relatively simple and quick, eliminating the need to use a CNC lathe to create slots in the middle frame 1, thus reducing the complexity of the assembly process and lowering the cost of the encoder button mechanism.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
