Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of watch structure technology, and in particular relates to an insulating mounting structure and a smart watch. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, metal can affect antenna signals, shielding GPS and Bluetooth antenna signals, leading to poor signal reception and impacting navigation and positioning functions. Currently, some high-end smartwatches use all-metal casings to enhance their perceived quality and value. This makes the antenna design within the smartwatch relatively complex. If the watch band is also made of metal, the traditional design involves direct electrical connection between the metal band and the metal watch face without insulation. This means the smartwatch's antenna signal will also be affected by the metal band, which has become one of the industry's challenges.

[0003] To mitigate this impact, existing technologies typically involve making parts of the smartwatch band non-metallic, keeping the metal parts of the band away from the antenna inside the smartwatch, or using non-metallic bands to reduce aesthetic requirements and ensure insulation between the band and the metal watch face. However, this greatly limits the design and use of metal materials in the band and cannot meet market demands. Utility Model Content
