Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smartwatches, specifically a fingerprint recognition button with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] A smartwatch is a high-tech product that integrates a microcomputer, sensors, and communication modules into a watch form. Through its built-in operating system, processor, and memory, it performs functions such as data processing, information display, and interactive control. Its working principle primarily relies on various sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, heart rate sensors, and GPS) to collect user activity and physiological data. This data is then connected to smartphones or other devices via wireless communication technologies (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks) to synchronize and push messages, emails, phone calls, and other information. Furthermore, it provides various services such as health management, activity tracking, and payments through applications.

[0003] Smartwatches often feature touchscreens for ease of operation and fingerprint recognition modules to ensure device security. However, since the touchscreen and fingerprint recognition module are often exposed to the external environment when not in use, they are susceptible to damage from impacts, reducing the device's usability. Therefore, this paper proposes a fingerprint recognition button with protective functions to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A fingerprint recognition button with protective function, comprising a watch body, a touchscreen disposed on the outer side of the watch body, a fingerprint recognition module disposed on the inner side of the touchscreen, a rotatable gear rotatably connected to the inner side of the watch body, a shield plate fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotatable gear, the shield plate and the touchscreen working together, a toothed frame meshing with the outer side of the rotatable gear, the toothed frame and the watch body slidably connected, and first magnetic plates fixedly connected to both the outer side of the toothed frame and the inner side of the watch body, the first magnetic plates working together. This step, by setting up the rotatable gear, shield plate, toothed frame and first magnetic plates, allows the toothed frame to be pulled when the touchscreen is not in use. The toothed frame drives one side of the first magnetic plate to move, causing it to attract the other side of the first magnetic plate. Simultaneously, through the meshing of the toothed frame and the rotatable gear, the rotatable gear rotates, thereby driving the shield plate to rotate and protect the touchscreen, making it less susceptible to collision damage and improving the practicality of the device.

[0006] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the watch body, and a second magnetic plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod. A through groove is formed on the surface of both the first magnetic plate and the toothed frame on one side. The rotating rod and the second magnetic plate cooperate with the through groove. This step, by setting up the rotating rod, the second magnetic plate, and the through groove, allows the second magnetic plate and one end of the rotating rod to be inserted into the inner side of the toothed frame along the through groove after the toothed frame is retracted into the watch body. Then, rotating the rotating rod causes the second magnetic plate to rotate away from the through groove, and it is then attracted to and fixed to the outer side of the toothed frame by the second magnetic plate. This further restricts the toothed frame by the second magnetic plate, making its position more fixed during storage, thereby further restricting the position of the baffle and improving the stability of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first magnetic plate on one side, and the first magnetic plate and the toothed plate frame on the other side are slidably connected to the limiting rod. This step, by setting the limiting rod, allows the wider part of the limiting rod to restrict the toothed plate frame, thereby making the toothed plate frame less likely to separate from the body and improving the stability of the device.

[0008] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shield, and a support block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the watch body. The support block and the support plate work together. By setting the support plate and the support block, when the shield rotates to shield the touch screen, the support block can support the support plate, so that the other end of the shield away from the flat gear can be further supported, making the shield more stable in the face of collision and improving the stability of the device protection.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the outer side of the device body. The sealing gasket works in conjunction with the shielding plate. This step, by setting the sealing gasket, further seals the space between the shielding plate and the touch screen, allowing the touch screen to stay away from external dust when the device is not in use, thereby keeping it clean for use and improving the convenience of using the device.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the shield is provided with a receiving groove, and a brush is fixedly connected to the inner side of the receiving groove. The brush works in conjunction with the touch screen. By setting up the receiving groove and the brush, when the touch screen gets dusty, the shield can be rotated back and forth, so that the brush can clean the touch screen repeatedly, making it easier to keep the touch screen clean and improving the user experience of the device.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model, by setting up a spur gear, a shielding plate, a toothed frame, and a first magnetic plate, allows the toothed frame to be pulled when the touch screen is not in use. The toothed frame drives one side of the first magnetic plate to move, so that it attracts the other side of the first magnetic plate. At the same time, through the meshing of the toothed frame and the spur gear, the spur gear rotates, thereby driving the shielding plate to rotate to shield and protect the touch screen, making it less susceptible to collision damage and improving the practicality of the device.

[0013] 2. This utility model, by setting up a rotating rod, a second magnetic plate, and a through groove, allows the second magnetic plate and one end of the rotating rod to be inserted into the inner side of the toothed plate frame after the toothed plate frame is retracted into the inner side of the frame. Then, by rotating the rotating rod, the second magnetic plate is rotated away from the through groove and is fixed to the outer side of the toothed plate frame by adsorption. This further restricts the toothed plate frame by the second magnetic plate, making its position more fixed when stored, thereby further restricting the position of the baffle and improving the stability of the device.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a fingerprint recognition button with protective function includes a watch body 1. A touch screen 2 is disposed on the outer side of the watch body 1, and a fingerprint recognition module 3 is disposed on the inner side of the touch screen 2. A spur gear 4 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the watch body 1, and a shielding plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spur gear 4. The shielding plate 5 and the touch screen 2 cooperate with each other. A toothed frame 6 meshes with the outer side of the spur gear 4. The toothed frame 6 is slidably connected to the watch body 1. A first magnetic plate 7 is fixedly connected to both the outer side of the toothed frame 6 and the inner side of the watch body 1. The components work together in this step. By setting up a spur gear 4, a shielding plate 5, a toothed frame 6, and a first magnetic plate 7, when the touch screen 2 is not in use, the toothed frame 6 can be pulled. The toothed frame 6 drives one side of the first magnetic plate 7 to move, so that it attracts the other side of the first magnetic plate 7. At the same time, through the meshing of the toothed frame 6 and the spur gear 4, the spur gear 4 rotates, thereby driving the shielding plate 5 to rotate and shield the touch screen 2, making it less susceptible to collision damage and improving the practicality of the device.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the watch body 1, and a second magnetic plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 8. A through groove 10 is opened on the surface of the first magnetic plate 7 and the toothed frame 6 on one side. The rotating rod 8 and the second magnetic plate 9 are used in conjunction with the through groove 10. In this step, by setting the rotating rod 8, the second magnetic plate 9 and the through groove 10, after the toothed frame 6 is retracted into the inner side of the watch body 1, one end of the second magnetic plate 9 and the rotating rod 8 are inserted into the inner side of the toothed frame 6 along the through groove 10. Then, the rotating rod 8 is rotated, which drives the second magnetic plate 9 to rotate away from the through groove 10. The second magnetic plate 9 is attracted to the outer side of the toothed frame 6 and fixed thereto. Thus, the second magnetic plate 9 further restricts the toothed frame 6, making its position more fixed when stored, thereby further restricting the position of the shield 5 and improving the stability of the device.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, a limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first magnetic plate 7 on one side, and the first magnetic plate 7 and the toothed frame 6 on the other side are slidably connected to the limiting rod 11. This step, by setting the limiting rod 11, allows the wider part of the limiting rod 11 to restrict the toothed frame 6, thereby making it difficult for the toothed frame 6 to separate from the body 1, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shielding plate 5, and a support block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the watch body 1. The support block 13 and the support plate 12 work together. By setting the support plate 12 and the support block 13, when the shielding plate 5 rotates to shield the touch screen 2, the support block 13 can support the support plate 12, so that the other end of the shielding plate 5 away from the flat gear 4 can be further supported, so that the shielding plate 5 can be more stable in the face of collision, and improve the stability of the device protection.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sealing gasket 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the body 1. The sealing gasket 14 works in conjunction with the shielding plate 5. This step, by setting the sealing gasket 14, further seals the shielding plate 5 and the touch screen 2, so that the touch screen 2 can stay away from external dust when the device is not in use, thereby keeping it clean for use and improving the convenience of using the device.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the shield 5 is provided with a receiving groove 15, and a brush 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the receiving groove 15. The brush 16 works in conjunction with the touch screen 2. By setting up the receiving groove 15 and the brush 16, when the touch screen 2 is covered with dust, the shield 5 can be rotated back and forth, so that the brush 16 can repeatedly clean the touch screen 2, making it easier to keep the touch screen 2 clean and improving the user experience of the device.

[0029] The working principle is as follows: When the touch screen 2 is not in use, the toothed frame 6 can be pulled, which will move the first magnetic plate 7 on one side to move so that it can be attracted to the first magnetic plate 7 on the other side. At the same time, through the meshing of the toothed frame 6 and the spur gear 4, the spur gear 4 will rotate, thereby driving the shielding plate 5 to rotate to shield and protect the touch screen 2. Meanwhile, the second magnetic plate 9 and one end of the rotating rod 8 are inserted into the inside of the toothed frame 6. Then, the rotating rod 8 is rotated, which will drive the second magnetic plate 9 to rotate away from the through groove 10.
